State Board of Agriculture to Discuss Separating Extension Service, State College, From Department of Agriculture, July 5, 1924

Board of Agriculture to Meet

By the Associated Press

Raleigh, N.C., July 5—The North Carolina State Board of Agriculture will meet in the Agriculture Building Tuesday and Wednesday, July 8th and 9th, according to announcements sent out by Commissioner of agriculture W.A. Graham, calling the board to meet at that time. The finance committee of the board will meet on Tuesday, July 8, one day before the board meeting in order to have its report ready to present to the members.

The board is composed of the Commissioner and the following men from various sections of the state:

Fred P. Latham, Belhaven; J.J. Harris, Macon; W.A. Brown, Rocky Point; Clarence Poe, Raleigh; R.W. Scott, Haw River; J. Vance McGoughan, Fayetteville; C.C. Wright, Hunting Creek; W.B. McClelland, Stony Point; and O. Max Gardner, Shelby.

Among the subjects that it is reported will be discussed by the board are placing the Extension Service under the complete control of State College of Agriculture, thereby relieving the Department of Agriculture of any direct connection with that division; and the program for next year as well as placing the Department of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture under entirely separate operations.
