"Present day agriculture has become increasingly complicated and is beset with manifold problems in the field of production, distribution, and management. [ j Resolution from Farm | Bureau \ j j j "Research is the lamp which lights the path of progress. However/ it would be impossible 1 for the ^individual farmer to carry on very much basic or applied research. That must be done, in the case of agriculture, by a large public institution, such as Michigan State University. : "The results of researhh and experimentation must be conveyed promptly to those whom they x-fouid benefit. They must be put to work In the service of mankind. The most efficient machinery yet developed for this purpose is the Agricultural Extension Service, including the County Agricultural Agents, U-H Agents, Home Demonstration Agents, and Extension Specialists. These activities have abundantly proved their worth and deserve continued growth and development. !rWe especially commend the 2-year old program of research and education, to encourage the expanded utilizationof Michigan farm products. 'This has provided great benefits to producers, retailers and handlers of Michigan-grown food and holds promise of still more far-reaching ser vices to all Michigan citizens. It is a statesmanlike pioneer effort which is attracting favorable national attention. It deserves our wholehearted and cooperative support." Increase in salary of Vice President Varner to $17^500, effective December 1, 1955» h2.
