DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE PLANT AND ANIMAL DISEASE AND PEST CONTROL The Agricultural Research Service assists States in suppressing outbreaks of crop pests and animal and plant diseases. These activities do not generally involve Federal financial assistance to State or local governments, but are conducted cooperatively and may be jointly financed. State matching of Federal outlays is required for specified programs. Thus, Federal funds may be used to formulate or administer a brucellosis eradication program for the fiscal year 1964 only if it requires minimum State matching of at least 40 percent. The screwworm eradication program is subject to minimum matching by State and local sources of at least 50 percent of the expenses of production, irradiation, and release of screw-worm flies. (Agricultural Research Service, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.) AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS Annual Federal grants are provided to help support research activities of agricultural experiment stations at land-grant colleges and universities. In addition, a new authorization enacted in 1963 provides for grants for the construction, acquisition, and remodeling of buildings, laboratories, and other capital facilities at State experi ment stations. Support grants.-From the annual appropriation, each State is entitled to receive a sum equal to the amount received for the fiscal year 1955; the total of these fixed allotments is $18,953,708. This includes a flat basic allocation to each State and additional amounts as allocated for 1955 under a formula then in effect. Any excess over $18, 953,708 in the annual appropriation is distributed according to a composite formula, as follows: (a) 20 percent allotted equally to each State and Puerto Rico; (b) not less than 52 percent allotted in proportion to population factors, with half of this part prorated according to rural population and half according to farm population; and (c) not more than 25 percent allotted for cooperative research in which two or more State agricultural experiment stations are cooperating to solve problems that concern agriculture of more than one State. The remaining 3 percent is available to the Secretary of Agriculture for administrative expense. Within the State allotments, not less than 20 percent is to be used by State agricultural experiment stations for conducting marketing research projects approved by the Department of Agriculture. In a State with an agricultural experiment station separate from land-grant colleges or universities, or with more than one college, university, or experiment station, the Federal grant available to the State is divided among these institutions as the legislature directs. |
