Dr. G. D. HumphreyOffice of the PresidentCampus

Dear Dr. Humphrey:

In a letter dated January 13, I requested that an account beestablished in the special [;rants fund from ,~ich the Agricul­tural Colle ge would be permitted to make payments in advanceof collections '"lith the provision that at no time are paymentsto exceed collections by norc than $10,000. 'Ibis request 'wasmade to enable the College to enter into a contract to do

soil surveying and land classification for the Bureau of Re­clamation.

You have reported that the Board of Trustees postponed thegranting of this request wltil a satisfactory over-all memor­andum of agreement is worked out. I fear that if we wait untilthat is accomplished ,"Ie 1!19y be delayed so that we could do~itt1e or no field work this season.

I am quite sure that the Secreta,ry of Agriculture will approvethe signing of a contract for soil survey and classificationon a unit basis. My belief in tIns rests upon the followingextract from a letter written to Mr. Milward L. Simpson, Presi­dent of the University Board of Trustees, dated April 12, 1948.The underlining is mine.

"\Ie hold that the rules of good organization and adminis­tration require that Federal funds for agricultural ac­tivities, aside from the teaching of agriculture in theclassroom, be appropriated to the Department of Agricul­ture, vrhether they are to be used directly bY Federalagencies or to be channeled to State agricultural agencies.The Department of Agriculture now constitutes the channelto these agencies. The establishment of other channelsthrough non-agricultural Federal aeencies, such as theBureau of Reclamation, leads to connicts, duplication,confusion and waste. It is recognized that certain fundsfor agricultural proerams are now made available throughsuch Federal agencies. It is our vie'w that, as rapidlyas possible, this situation should be corrected by thedirect appropriation of all Federal funds to be used foragricultural purposes, other than formal teaching, tothe lJepartl'lent of Agriculture or through this Departmentto the proper State aeencies.

"Pending the attainment of this goal, the Department be­lieves that because of the need for agricultural ser­vices to be perforlood at a rate beyond the availabilityof current funds in this ~partrnent, it ~s 1Il the ~nterest

of the success of western irrigation to agree to an ar­rangement whereby needed agricultural work can be financed by funds appropriated to non-agricultural agencies.However, we believe that Memoranda of Understanding de­signed to carry out such a procedure should indicate thatarrangements made tmder them are but temporary expedientspending the establishment of the type of arrangements weare advocating.

"In addition, we believe that these Memoranda (i..T1cludingthat wInch is under consideration) should be drafted ina manner that provides for the responsibility for the de­sign and prosecution of research, studies, investigationsand education to be vested in the agricultural agencyrlith \·thich the Bureau contracts and that the non-agricul­tural agency's contribution to the activity be limited toproviding funds or other resources in a manner that vallnot place it in an agricultural research or investigation

policy determining or accomplishment position."

'lherefore, I am urging that a special account be set up as re­quested on January 13 and that the Agricultural College be givenauthoritjf to negotiate contracts for soil surveying and soilclassification 'lTith the Bureau of Reclamation.

I beEeve that if we can arrange these contracts it will helpspeed up irrigation development and tlms benefit the people ofthe state, and at the same time the Agricultural College willget a great deal of information on the soils of the state whichVlill be valuable in our program of research and teachinG in fu­ture years.

Very truly yours,

(Signed)
