Calendar No. 712 91st CONGRESS SENATE REepoORT 2d Session No. 91-718 LAND-GRANT COLLEGE STATUS FOR THE COLLEGE OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF GUAM MaArcH 6, 1970.—Ordered to be printed Mr. ELLENDER, from the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany S. 1148] The Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, to which was referred the bill (S. 1148), to amend the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with amendments to the amendment proposed to the text of the bill by the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, to which the bill was previously referred, and recommends that the bill as amended do pass. SHORT EXPLANATION This bill, with the amendments recommended by the Committees on Interior and Insular Affairs and Agriculture and Forestry, would give land-grant status to the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam and provide them with Federal grants for en- dowment, teaching grants, extension work, forestry research, and experiment stations. With the amendments recommended by this committee, the amounts of the grants would be as follows: 37-010—70——1 2 ANNUAL AND 1-TIME APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORIZED FOR GRANTS TO GUAM AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS BY S. 1148 (WITH THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY THE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY) Guam Virgin Islands Authority 1 time Annual 1 time Annual Sec 2: Morrill Act of 1882... id Be eneiiimnn $1,019,000... ios ee $714,000. 0. a ait ec. 3: Morrill Ach 1800.0. a Th Ne $25,0000.". ........0.. $25, 000 NOS OR ACHR ¢ ae ad tt Jd, 000 25,000 Sec. 4: Bankhead Jonesy. oo.

If subsequent appropriation levels are above levels at the time of passage of S. 1148, Guam and Virgin Islands would share in increases according to formulas or other provisions. The $12,500 under the Mcintyre-Stennis Act is the basic amount provided to each State. Small additional amounts might also be available to them under formula provisions of the act. These funds would be made available out of the existing level of appropriations. The $100,000 under both the Smith-Lever Act and the Hatch Act is the amount authorized by the proposed amendment to sec. 3(b) of each act. We do not indicate any allotment of appropriations allocated under the provisions of sec. 3(c) of either act. We are advised that Guam and The Virgin Islands would participate only in‘increases in appropriations under sec. 3(c). ) EE 3 Funds made available to States by administrative action. The 1971 level of appropriations is allocated. Purpose The purpose of S. 1148 as introduced is to amend the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands to constitute the College of the Virgin Islands a land-grant college. A similar bill, S. 1149, would amend the Organic Act of Guam to give land-grant status to the University of Guam. Both S. 1148 and S. 1149 were the subject of hearings before the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs on October 1, 1969, at which time the administration recommended a substitute bill that would constitute these two institutions land-grant colleges by amending existing statutes containing the benefits of land- grant status rather than the Organic Acts of the two territories. Under the provisions of S. 1148, as amended by the amendment of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, as modified by the amendments of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam would— (1) Be considered land-grant colleges established for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts in accordance with the Act of July 2, 1862, the first Morrill Act. (2) Receive an appropriation of $1,019,000 in the case of Guam and $714,000 in the case of the Virgin Islands as an endowment, in lieu of public land, to be used for the main- tenance of the colleges in accordance with the provisions of the first Morrill Act. These sums approximate, on a ratio basis, the amount provided the State of Hawaii when the University of Hawaii was accorded land-grant status. (3) Qualify under the Morrill Act of 1890 and the Nelson amendment for annual grants of $50,000 each to be used for instruction in agriculture, mechanic arts, and related subjects. (4) Participate under the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1935 with the 50 States and Puerto Rico in further grants made available for the support of land-grant colleges. The colleges 3 would receive an equal share of an annual national grant of $8,100,000, or $150,000 each, for teaching purposes, and an additional $2,500 in the case of Guam and $1,900 in the case of the Virgin Islands annually for the respective institutions. (5) Participate in the grants for research and service work in the distribution and marketing of agricultural commodi- ties authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. (6) Participate under the Smith-Lever Act in the Federal Extension Service program administered by the Department of Agriculture for cooperative agricultural extension work. An appropriation of $100,000 is authorized for each territory annually beginning in fiscal year 1971. (7) Qualify for inclusion under the provisions of the Hatch Act of March 2, 1887. I o9E ComMIiTTEE CONSIDERATION As a bill to amend the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands, this bill was referred to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, along with S. 1149, a similar bill amending the Organic Act of Guam. These bills, however, had for their respective purposes the extension of land grant college status to the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam; and the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs consequently recommended an amendment in the nature of a substitute amending the various land grant college laws. Since these laws fall within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs advised this committee of its action and the bill was referred to this committee. AMENDMENTS RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY This committee has recommended amendments to the amendment of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs to the text of the bill to— (1) reduce the proposed grants to Guam and the Virgin Islands under section 2 to amounts commensurate with similar grants to Hawaii and the District of Columbia; (2) eliminate provision for additional funds for States other than Guam and the Virgin Islands; (3) change the word ‘‘script’” to ‘“‘scrip’’, to conform it to the term used in the 1862 law to which it refers; (4) make it clear that the so-called Nelson amendment of March 4, 1907 is amended to include Guam and the Virgin Islands (While the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Department of Agriculture have construed the bill as extending the Nelson amendment to Guam and the Virgin Islands, it would appear advisable to provide specifically for such extension, since the Nelson amendment does not specifically amend the Act of August 30, 1890, and therefore would not necessarily be incorporated by reference through the use of the words ‘‘as amended” in the first line of section 3 of the amendment of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs); 4 (5) correct a reference to title II of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946; (6) correct the citation to the Hatch Act of March 2, 1887; (7) amend section 7 to add a new subsection (3) providing that 4 percent of the basic annual grants for Guam and the Virgin Islands under section 7 would be allotted to the Federal Extension Service. (This will make section 7 con- form to section 3(c)(1) of the Smith-Lever Act (7 U.S.C. 343(c)(1)) in this respect); and (8). amend section 12 to add a new subsection (3) provid- ing that 3 percent of the basic annual grants for Guam and the Virgin Islands under section 12 would be allotted to the Secretary of Agriculture. (This will make section 12 conform to section 3(c)(5) of the Hatch Act (7 U.S.C. 361c(c)(5)) in this respect). 2% The first amendment is designed to make the bill carry out the purpose of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, as expressed in its report at page 3, to make the grants under section 3 approximate “on a ratio basis, the amount provided the State of Hawaii when the University of Hawaii was accorded land-grant status.” The Depart- ment of Health, Education, and Welfare (p. 13 of the report of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs) points out that the similar grant for the District of Columbia had been computed in this manner, and suggested that that precedent should be followed in the case of Guam and the Virgin Islands, saying: The approach of these bills in the application of the acts ~. involved to these two territories is the same as the approach taken by the Congress in Public Law 90-354 in extending the land-grant concept to the District of Columbia. In this connection however, we believe that the proposed authoriza- tion of a $3 million lump-sum payment each to Guam and to the Virgin Islands should be reconsidered in the light of prior lump-sum authorizations of payments to other juris- dictions for a like purpose. When Hawaii became a State, it was granted a lump-sum of $6 million in lieu of land or scrip grants under the first Morrill Act. In Public Law 90-354, following the precedent set for Hawaii, the amount au- thorized to be appropriated to the District of Columbia in lieu of extending to the District the provisions of the first Morrill Act was $7,241,706, which bore to the $6 million authorized for Hawaii the same ratio as the population of the District bore to the population of Hawaii. This methods of computation was evidently not used in fixing upon the amount of $3 million for Guam and the Virgin Islands, respectively, in the present bills, and we are not aware of the basis upon which the sum of $3 million was determined. We would, therefore, suggest that the proposed lump-sum amount for the two territories be reconsidered in that light. The Department of Agriculture advised that on such a propor- tionate basis to Hawaii the correct amount for Guam would be $1,019,- 000, and the correct amount for the Virgin Islands would be $714,000. ‘The amendments of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry 5 would substitute these correct amounts. The Department’s computa- tion of these amounts is set out in footnote 1 to appendix 2 transmitted with the Department’s letter of February 17, 1970, and hereinafter set out. Grants under the first Morrill Act of July 2, 1862, have always been based on population, and use of the formula used for the District of Columbia, based on relation to Hawaii, will put the Guam and the Virgin Islands grants in line with grants to other States. The first Morrill Act of July 2, 1862, authorized grants to the States of 30,000 acres of Federal Government lands or the equivalent in scrip for each Senator and each Representative which each State was entitled to nave in Congress in 1860. Hawaii was the first instance in which a direct cash appropriation was made in lieu of some form of land or land scrip. Public Law 86-624, the Hawaii Omnibus Act, provided an authoriza- tion of $6 million. Public Law 90-354, the District of Columbia Public Education Act, provided an authorization for a capital grant to be made using Hawaii as a base for obtaining the grant amount. The first Morrill Act of 1862 requires that moneys derived from the sale of land or scrip “shall forever remain unimpaired.” In addition, it provided that interest on the perpetual fund be for the “endowment, support, and maintenance of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as. are related to agriculture and mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislature of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote: the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.” The $1,019,000 provided Guam under this committee’s amendment. if invested at 7 percent, would provide Guam with over $70,000 per annum. Similarly, the Virgin Islands grant of $714,000 would provide it, with about $50,000. Both of these amounts are greatly in excess of the annual earnings of the land-grant funds of many of the States, as shown in the following table: INCOME, EXPENDITURES, AND BALANCES OF EARNINGS FROM FUNDS OF 1862 AND INCOME FROM OTHER FEDERAL LAND-GRANT FUNDS BY STATE AND INSTITUTION: ALL LAND- GRANT INSTITUTIONS, YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1968 Earnings of land-grant funds of 1862 Endowment income Expenditures Balance Rental Balance Income at begin- rights, at close from other Total ning of deferred of Federal : available fiscal year Total Invested payments, Total fiscal year land-grant State and institution (3 plus 4) 1968 (5 plus 6) funds etc. (8 plus 9) Salaries Facilities 1968 funds (€)) @) Q@) (0) ®) (6) @ ®) © (10) (11) Total, ali land-grant institutions______. 4,698, 657 2,537,491 2, 161, 166 1, 819, 358 341, 808 4,42, 522 3,465,994 955, 528 957, 067 2,144,737 Alabama: Alabama A. & MM.

Mr. Harker T. STANTON, Counsel, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. Dear Mgr. Stanton: This is in response to your request of this afternoon for more information about the history of the land-grant status of Universities of Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. In the very limited time available, I have not been able to dig very deeply not to carefully verify the information. If, at a later date, you need a more thorough analysis, we will provide it. In the case of Hawaii: 1. In 1908 by ruling of the Secretary of Interior, the University of Hawaii was made eligible to participate in the funds under the Morrill Act of 1890 and the Nelson Act. 2. In 1928 by an act of May 16 (45 Stat. L 571) the University of Hawaii became eligible to participate in the Smith-Lever and Hatch programs. This was handled in a way designed to give them treatment at that time comparable to treatment of the States. 3. In 1960, an act of Congress provided $6 million in lieu of land-grant provided under the act of 1862. In the case of Alaska: 1. An act of March 4, 1915, reserved in trust land for use by the institution that later became the University of Alaska (38 Stat. 1214). 2. In 1958 an act of Congress provided a land-grant for the University of Alaska comparable to treatment of the States under the act of 1862. 3. In 1922 the University of Alaska was designated by the territory legislature as a land-grant college. 4. In 1949 an act of Congress made the University of Alaska eligible for Bankhead-Jones financing. 5. An act of February 23, 1929, provided for participation in the Smith-Lever and Hatch Acts (45 Stat. 1256). Additional legislation of June 20, 1936 (49 Stat. 1553), provided additional participation in agricultural research programs. In the case of Puerto Rico: 1. An act of 1908 extended to the University of Puerto Rico the benefits of the Morrill Act of 1890 and the Nelson Act. 2. An act of 1960 extended to the University of Puerto Rico benefits of the Bankhead-Jones Act. 3. An act of March 4, 1931 (46 Stat. 1520), provided for participation in the Smith-Lever and Hatch Acts. Additional legislation of August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 881), provided for additional participation in agricultural research programs. Sincerely, Lroyp H. Davis, Director. 9 The second amendment would correct a provision of section 4 of the bill which would not achieve its intended purpose. Its purpose is described in the report of the Department of the Interior at page 6 Sie report of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs as ollows: This amendment to the Bankhead-Jones Act also in- creases the authorization for additional payments to land- grant colleges for such purpose based on population by $40,000 annually so that each of the territories may receive $20,000 annually for its institution of higher learning. Since these funds are apportioned on the basis of population, Guam would receive only $2,500 and the Virgin Islands would receive only $1,900. The balance of $15,600 would be apportioned to other States. This was not intended by the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. As shown by the following letter an authorization increase of about $4,400 (instead of $40,000) would permit Guam and the Virgin Islands to participate on a proportionate basis, without affecting the allocations to other States; and the amendment of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry would accordingly substitute $4,400 for $40,000: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, ResearcH ProGrRAM DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION STAFF, Washington, D.C., February 26, 1970. Mr. HArkEr T. STANTON, Counsel, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. Dear Mg. Stanton: This is in response to your question about an item on page 6 of the report on S. 1148. The statement in question is as follows: “This amendment to the Bankhead-Jones Act also increases the authorization for additional payments to land-grant colleges for such purposes based on population by $40,000 annually so that each of the territories may receive $20,000 annually for its institution of higher learning.” The first part of the paragraph in which that statement is found discusses another item in the Bankhead-Jones Act under which each institution would be author- ized to receive $150,000. The statement with respect to the $150,000 is accurate. The statement quoted above is in error. The amendment would authorize these institutions to share, along with the States, in propor- tion to population in an authorization of $4,360,000. Based on current estimates of population, this would provide Guam about $2,500 and the Virgin Islands about $1,900. The amendment also raises this authorization by $40,000 to the $4,360,000 quoted above. All States would share in that increase in proportion to population, thus, of this increase in authorization, the shares to Guam and the Virgin Islands would be about $24 and $18, rather than $20,000 each. If Guam and the Virgin Islands were to participate in the formula allocation of the current $4,320,000 authorization without an increase in authorizations, the other States would have a reduced allocation of about $4,400. To maintain their current levels would therefore require an increase in this authorization of about $4,400. S. Rept. 91-718——2 10 To provide Guam and the Virgin Islands each the $20,000 mentioned in the quotation above from this authorization item would require a very substantial increase in the authorization since Guam would receive about 0.06 percent and the Virgin Islands about 0.045 percent of any increases. We note also that the fiscal year 1971 executive budget includes no funds for the land-grant colleges under these sections of the Bankhead- Jones Act. Sincerely, (S) Lioyp H. Davis, Director. SECTION-BY-SECTION EXPLANATION Section 1 provides that after the effective date of this act the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam shall be considered land-grant colleges established for the benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts in accordance with the act of July 2, 1862, known as the first Morrill Act. | Section 2 provides the authorization for the appropriation of $714,000 to the College of the Virgin Islands and $1,019,000 to the University of Guam. The first Morrill Act provided for the donation of public land or land script to each State to be used for the endow- ment and maintenance of colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. Since there is no public land or land script available for this purpose, the grants provided for in the substitute bill will provide for an endowment for these institutions in place of such land or land script donations. The substitute bill provides that such sums are to be used for the endowment and maintenance of the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam in accordance with the provisions of the first Morrill Act. Section 3 amends the various sections of the act of August 30, 1890, known as the second Morrill Act, and the act of March 4, 1907, known as the Nelson amendment to include the Virgin Islands and Guam. These amendments include the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam in the land-grant colleges that receive direct annual grants of $50,000 each for instruction in agriculture, mechanical arts, and related subjects, and for courses in teaching the elements of agriculture and the mechanical arts. Section 4 amends the act of June 29, 1935, known as the Bankhead- Jones Act to include the Virgin Islands and Guam within its provisions and at the same time increase the authorization provided in the act for land-grant colleges for teaching purposes by $300,000 annually so as to provide $150,000 annually for each of the two territories. This amendment to the Bankhead-Jones Act also increases the author- ization for additional payments to land-grant colleges for such purpose based on population by $4,400 annually so that each of the territories may receive $2,500 in the case of Guam and $1,900 in the case of the Virgin Islands annually for its institution of higher learning. Section 5 amends the act of March 4, 1940, which act provides for the withholding of Federal funds as employer contributions for the retirement of land-grant college employees, to include the Virgin Islands and Guam within its provisions. 11 Section 6 amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, which provides for grants for research and service work in the distribution and marketing of agricultural commodities, to include the Virgin Islands and Guam within the definition of State as it is used in the act. Section 7 amends the act of May 8, 1914, known as the Smith- Lever Act, which provides for grants to land-grant colleges for co- operative agricultural extension work consisting of the giving of instruction and practical demonstration in agriculture and home economics and the subjects related thereto. The amendment adds 2 new paragraphs to subsection (b) of section 3 of the act and au- thorizes an appropriation of $100,000 annually to the territories of the Virgin Islands and Guam beginning in fiscal year 1971, such sums to be in addition to those now provided for the other States and Puerto Rico so as not to reduce payments now made to those States and Puerto Rico under the provisions of the Smith-Lever Act. The amend- ment also provides that the $100,000 grant is to be matched by funds provided by the territories of the Virgin Islands and Guam except that the Federal funds may be used to pay the entire cost of the Extension Service program during the first 2 fiscal years of its operation. This exception for the beginning 2-year period will allow the territories to make budget allocations for this program. Four percent of the grants provided by this section would be allotted to the Federal Extension Service. | Section 8 also amends the Smith-Lever Act. Specifically, it amends the definition of State in section 10 of the act to include the Virgin Islands and Guam in the definition of State as it applies to that act. Section 9 amends the act of October 10, 1962, which provides for grants for forestry research to exempt the Virgin Islands and Guam from the matching requirement made by the act for the 1971 and 1972 fiscal years and allows for the Federal funds to be used to pay the full cost of the program for the first 2 years. This 2-year ex- emption, as in the case of the Smith-Lever Act amendments, allows the territories to make budget allocations for this program. Section 10 also amends the act of October 10, 1962. This amend- ment adds the Virgin Islands and Guam to the definition of State as it is used in this act. Sections 11 and 12 extend the benefits of the Hatch Act of March 2, 1887, to Guam and the Virgin Islands. That act provides Federal grants for State experiment stations. Matching would not be required of Guam and the Virgin Islands for fiscal 1971 and 1972. Each would receive $100,000 annually, plus a proportionate share of any addi- tional funds appropriated pursuant to section 3(c) of the Hatch Act. Section 13 provides that any requirement that any of the acts amended by this act might have for consent by the State covered by its provisions shall be deemed satisfied by the passage of this act. AppIiTIONAL INFORMATION This committee requested and obtained the following additional data and views from the Department of Agriculture: 12 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, D.C., February 3, 1970. Hon. ALLEN J. ELLENDER, Chairman, Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. Dear Mgr. CratrMaN: This is in response to requests relative to two bills—S. 1148 and S. 1149—To amend the Revised Organic Acts of the Virgin Islands and Guam,” respectively. The proposed bills would establish the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam as land-grant institutions in accordance with the provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862. The acts administered by the Department referred to in these bills are the Smith-Lever Act of May 8, 1914 (7 U.S.C. 341-346, 347a, 348 and 349) and the Agri- cultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621-1629). The act would also extend to the College of the Virgin Islands and the University of Guam the provisions of the Hatch Act (7 U.S.C. 361a-361i) and Mec- Intyre-Stennis (16 U.S.C. 582a-3). The enclosed information on the Virgin Islands and Guam describes their potential development in agriculture. Also enclosed is tabular information for each section of the bills pertaining to all acts passed by the Congress affecting land-grant college status. Sincerely, N. P. RaLsToN, Associate Director, Science and Education. Vircin IsnanDs Of a total land area of 134 square miles, St. Croix is the largest island with 84 square miles, St. Thomas has 28 square miles, and St. John 3 miles east of St. Thomas has 20 square miles. There are 84 different soil types on the islands which have been mapped by the Soil Conservation Service. Priority is being given to the advancement and diversi- fication of the agricultural industry on St. Croix. Until re- cently, sugarcane was the only important crop having been terminated with the harvest in 1966. Over 4,000 acres, formerly in sugarcane, have a potential of being added for food production purposes. Although scattered records and recent changes on the islands make it difficult to provide an accurate of agriculture, it is estimated that approxi- mately 28,000 acres are available for agricultural use. Eighty-five percent of the family food dollar in the Virgin Islands is spent in purchase of imported foods. Food crops can change the dependence on imported foods, improve diets, and provide food for emergency needs. The population estimated to reach 75,000 in 1970 increases the opportunities for extension programs of meaninfgul value to homemakers, many of whom are in low-income families with less than eighth grade education. Youth development opportunities in 4-H Club work can be most useful in help- ing to provide worthwhile experiences and adjustments 13 needed by youth to live in the shifting patterns of social and economic conditions of the islands. Currently, there is an agreement with the College of the: Virgin Islands to maintain a program to conduct educational work in the areas of agriculture, home economics, 4-H youth: development, and community resource development. Four staff members are serving the Virgin Islands Extension Service with supporting services provided by the colleges and occasional resources are provided by the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture and the Puerto Rico Extension Service. The Federal Extension Service provides $60,000 per year while the college has steadily increased its financial matching support over the past 2 years to 50 percent of the funds pro- vided by the Federal Extension Service. Plans for a full matching schedule will probably be a reality in 2 to 3 years. Approximately 75 percent of the St. Croix farm operators own all or most of the land they farm. The majority are small landowners and many of them are primarily concerned with handing down the land to their children. Present facilities for use of the Virgin Islands Extension Service are provided on St. Croix by the college with plans to expand staff to meet the needs of people on St. Thomas, particularly in 4-H and homemaking programs. Relationships with insular agencies of government as well as other public organizations are considered excellent with meaningful cooperative ventures to improve the quality of living for residents of the islands. Reforestation projects have advanced in recent years with the aid of the Forest Service. Mahogany grows naturally while new introductions of teak offer new possibilities, par- ticularly in the manufacture of furniture. Guam The island of Guam comprises some 144,000 acres, or roughly 225 square miles. Of these 144,000 acres, about 7 percent is suitable for fairly intensive cropping, an additional 15 percent is suitable for limited cropland use, and 22 percent is available for grazing and forestation. The remaining 56 percent is wasteland, industrial, urbanized and/or military installations. According to the Guam Department of Agri- culture there were some 130 full-time farmers in mid-1965. They were engaged in truck crops, poultry, fruit crops, swine, and cattle farming. Poultry and truck-crop farms comprise the bulk of these. Farm conditions are similar to those of the small, independent farmer in Hawaii. Some 300 to 400 families or more are engaged in part-time farming activities of various types. Much of the food consumed in Guam is imported. A substantial increase in local production is possible. Prior to Typhoon Karen, over 400 full-time farmers were recorded with some 800 to 900 families engaged in part-time farming and home gardening activities. Many of these full- and part-time farmers diverted their activities 14 to employment in the post-Typhoon Karen construction boon which is now about over and will require significant economic readjustments. Improved agricultural technology would enhance the economic opportunities in agriculture. The Federal Extension Service, under a working agree- ment with. the Governor of Guam, provides $40,000 per annum with the Guam Government complementing this effort with $75,000 to carry on a limited extension program. On Guam it involves the services of one Federal Extension Service staff person who is assisting the Insular Department of Agricultme to further develop its agricultural capacity. Particular progress has been in establishing cooperative marketing arrangements. Short-term subject matter as- sistance in selected fields is made available from the Hawai Extension Service. : ha In both Guam and the Virgin Islands, through the leader- ship of present extension efforts, commodity interest groups have been organized to study and determine programs that will complement the progress of agriculture, community development, and 4-H programs. Home economics programs including expanded food and nutrition efforts are currently progressing on the Virgin Islands. Plans for initiating these programs in Guam would also complement 4-H and com- munity development efforts.

Sincerely, N. P. RaigTon, Associate Director, Science and Education. APPENDIXES ArpENDIX 1.—HISTORY OF Boros Liege Gravy Act (MorriLL Act, 1862) [ b Under the original Morrill Act of 1862 a system of colleges and universities, managed by each State but conforming to certain broad policy stipulations of Federal law, has thus grown up. The Federal support contemplated in the initial Morrill Act was to be the income from public lands (30,000 acres or equivalent in script for each Repre- sentative and Senator) made available to each State. The State was expected to contribute to the maintenance of its land-grant institution as well as to provide its buildings. From this modest beginning the Federal Government has expanded its contributions to the land-grant colleges and universities. Recog- nizing the need for research as a basis for developing agriculture, the Congress passed the Hatch Act in 1887 setting up in the land-grant institutions the system of agricultural experiment stations. In 1890 the Second Morrill Act was passed, supplementing by direct appropria- tion the income from the land grants for instruction. In 1914 the Smith-Lever Act was passed establishing the system of cooperative extension services to bring to adults the benefits of the current developments in the field of agriculture. Thus these institutions, designed to foster a program of education suited to the needs of the agricultural and industrial classes, were established on a foundation of research, and encompassed a program for both the youth on the Sams and the adult population throughout the rural areas of the ation. In the decades following 1914, numerous acts have been passed expanding the scope and increasing the support of all three aspects of the program-—research, campus instruction and extension educa- tion. Now, in addition to the income from the original land grants, the appropriations of Federal funds to aid the States in the maintenance of land-grant institutions amount to more than $147 million (1968) annually. For the year ending June 30, 1968, the appropriations totaled: for experiment stations, $51,611,620; for campus instruction, $14,688,920; and for extension education $81,171,432. These funds are distributed to the States on several different bases. Some funds go in equal amounts to all States, some to States on the basis of their farm population, or on their total population in relation to the total population of the United States. The funds for campus instruction are distributed and administered by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Office of Education. The funds for experiment stations and extension education are distributed and administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. (15) 16 There are now 69 land-grant colleges and universities. Twenty-eight of these were established by their State legislatures as new institutions for the specific purpose of fulfilling the conditions of the Morrill Acts. A modern institution of higher education with a land grant spirit of service should ideally— Be a repository of knowledge to the extent it can be brought together in available form and resources are available; e a research institution with adequate personnel and equip- ment to add to this stock of knowledge; Be a meeting place where citizens and specialists may discuss problems and plans for the future development of the State; Be a teaching institution for citizens who take the preparation of life as a serious matter; Be a Cooperative Extension Service for technical assistance outside the campus. In fact, land-grant institutions consider the State as their campuses; and : Le a source of information on which any person may draw reely. The Territories of the Virgin Islands and Guam are faced with all the problems and demands shared by the States and would benefit greatly if equitable measures were taken in the development of their land-grant colleges. Funds made available would provide for instruction and instrue- tional equipment and supplies in agriculture, mechanic arts, English, mathematics, natural and physical sciences, economic sciences, and special preparation of teachers. Fields of instruction which have particular importance in the evolving needs of the citizens of Guam and the Virgin Islands would be added to the college curriculum. In the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, Congress established the Extension Service which has been truly a cooperative organization in its mutually beneficial relationship with the States, the land-grant universities, and the public. Since World War II, the Extension Service in response to the demands of people has been expanding its programs in the development of youth through 4-H programs, particularly to the families living in circumstances approaching abject poverty. This legislation would provide urgently needed supplemental assistance to youngsters and their families who are hopelessly caught in impov- erished circumstances by informational, educational, and vocational inadequacies. Extension can be utilized to help families improve their home situations and manage their resources to be productive in employment situations and develop values of good citizenship. Extension can also effectively engage its programs in community development whereby citizens participate in the economic strength of their territories. Extension can also help develop the skills necessary in the devel- opment of agricultural potential which will assist immeasurably in reducing dependency on food imports, improve marketing procedures and farm management practices. Under the Hatch Act, a variety of practical and applied research activities will complement such needs as introducing and testing improved varieties of fruits and vegetables and forage crops, fertility trials, insect and disease controls, and improvement practices for the animal husbandry industries of both territories.

It is the policy of Congress to continue the agricultural research at State agricultural experiment stations which has been encouraged and supported by the Hatch Act of 1887, the Adams Act of 1906, the Purnell Act of 1925, the Bankhead-Jones Act of 1935, and title 1, section 9, of that Act as added by the Act of August 14, 1946, and Acts amendatory and supplementary thereto, and to promote the efficiency of such research by a codification and simplification of such laws. As used in this Act, the terms ‘‘State’” or ‘States’ are defined to include the States, Alaska, Hawaii, [and] Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. As used in this Act, the term “State agricultural experiment station” means a department which shall have been established, under direction of the college or university or agricultural departments of the college or university in each State in accordance with an Act approved July 2, 1862 (12 Stat. 503), entitled “An Act donating public lands to the several States and Territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the machanic arts’; or such other substantially equivalent arrangements as any State shall determine. * * * * * * * Sec. 3.
