The  Extension  budget  for  1920-21,  submitted  by  Director  Baldwin and

approved  by the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  has not  as yet  been  passed  upon by
your  body,  and, while  it  may be too  late  to  make  laaterial  changes,  I  think
certain  matters  relating  to  it  should  be  called  to  yomr  attention*

The  t o t al  amount  of  Smith-Lever-Federal  funds  available  is

and  the  offset  required  of  the  College  is  #1382i|S*21*  Of  this  amount Mr*
Baldwin  recommends  that  #9316?»27  be paid  from  College  funds  and the  remainder
(#^5080*9^)  be  offset  with  .county  funds*  You should  know,  however,  that  the
estimated  amount  to  be  paid  out hy the  counties  is  #9^60*00,  or,  in  other  words,
the  College  will  pay out  of  i ts  funds  fif6999*06  more  than  is  required  to  off-
set  the Federal  funds. 
will  accomplish  substantially  that  result* 
amount  of  College  funds  to  be  expended  for  extension  work  to  the  minimum  com-
patible  with  the  Federal  Government's  requirement,  then  a  very  considerable  re
y
adjustment  will  be necessary,  and t h is  is  not  easily, done,  aft
months  of  the  fiscal  year  have  gone  by#«

If  this  is  your  desire,  then  the  budget  as  presented
