-therefore proposes a general plan of cooperation to cover all work of similar kind 3iow or in the future to be undertaken. As the plan can be terminated at any time, I recommend that the President.of the University be empowered to authorize -the Director of the Agricultural Extension Service to enter into such cooperative •plans, provided the cooperation and joint control does not extend to the outside -activities necessarily arising out of the needs of research work, as in soil experiments carried on outside the University; that is to say, that extension work should not be made to cover everything undertaken off the University campus; and provided further than the cooperation should not interfere with any plans which the University may desire to develop for the general system of extension •service. I append a copy of the report of a committee consisting of the leading department heads now on the ground. Dr. Hopkins by letter strongly advocates the holding of all work within the limits of a single administrative machine as now, though when the matter was last discussed, he did not believe that there is such -•a thing as economics in agriculture aside from "common sense."
