’ said that while great agri
cultural progress has been
made during the last de-j
cad£j still much remains to
be done, and they embodied
their recommendations in
series of resolutions.
Among other things the
committee asked the 1947
general assembly to ade-j
quately provide for the op-'
( eration and maintenance of
! N. C. State college, provide
not less than $5,000,000 for ■
, permanent improvements

; al, dairy, textile engineer-'
; ing, and forestry founda
tions be expanded.
It recommended suffi
! cient funds for vocational
education and an expansion
1 t of the short course program
at State college.
After expressing whole
hearted supports the gen
eral assembly in the pro
' gram to expand hospital
facilities in the state the
committee recommended
that state funds be provid
ed to supplement federal
and county funds in rural
communities.

in spite of shortages of
both equipment and labor.
However, they emphati
cally urged that these offi-j
