indicate these interrelationships graphically, but those who administer research must be aware of them to maintain a cohesive and wellcoordinated program.

As indicated earlier, this analysis shows research relationships prevailing during the current fiscal year. It is one in a series of pictures needed to aid in measuring progress as our program of agricultural research is shaped to meet changing needs.

As suggested earlier, I am prepared now to present to the committee photostat copies of these charts, supplemented with a summary of the financial data upon the basis of which the charts were prepared. These data and key segments of the charts are essentially in the order which I have referred to them.

Mr. Chairman, if it were your desire to insert these in the record I recognize that charts 2 and 3 might not reproduce well. We have had new negatives made and I suggest the new negatives be utilized if desired.

Mr. WHITTEN. We will be glad to have them inserted in the record as you suggest. I think they will be very helpful, and we will leave it to you to make such substitutions as may be appropriate.

Mr. ANDERSEN. I would like to say, Mr. Chairman, that these charts are very interesting.

Mr. WHITTEN. They certainly give us a graphic picture of the broad field of agricultural research. When we realize that each title has its many parts it makes us realize how far reaching the work is. (The charts referred to follow:)

Mr. HORAN. May I ask a question here?
Mr. WHITTEN. Certainly.

RESEARCH ON INSECTICIDES

Mr. HORAN. On figure 2 I note that you have listed here research on insects?

Dr. CARDON. Yes.

Mr. HORAN. Of course that involves the development of new insecticides and sprays, all of which are manufactured by companies who in turn either contribute to or have their own research laboratories?

Dr. CARDON. Yes.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER AGENCIES ON TOXICOLOGICAL WORK

Mr. HORAN. Which brings in the whole field of public relations in the United States on insecticides to combat pests. It brings into the picture the net effect of what Mr. Delaney's Select Committee on the Use of Chemicals in Foodstuffs might be doing now in attempting to appraise the use and regulation in foodstuffs; what is the relationship between the development of new insecticides, those who discover and develop new synthetics and new insecticides and the problems that are involved in public relations of marketing farm crops or farm products where it is necessary to use that sort of thing? There is a relationship there that is quite vital to us, and I will give you the question and you can pose your answer. On the basis of the fact that the subcommittee last year inaugurated the transfer of $50,000 to the Public Health Service in order to assist in solving the problem which might vitally concern the marketing of certain crops where the public may be improperly advised where those foodstuffs were adulterated.

I had in my office the other day, and I want you to know this, Dr. Simmons of the Savannah Public Health Laboratory and we got into a discussion of what could be done.

I asked Dr. Simmons if he had eaten oysters in July, and he said he had, but the public thinks that only in months containing an "r" can you eat oysters, and as a result of that misinformation a great deal of harm has been done to oyster farmers.

There is a relationship here that I think is very vital because we have not yet found the budgetary answer to the needed work in determining toxicity, one of the things that caused this committee to inaugurate the program last year.

Dr. CARDON. We are quite aware of the interrelationship to which you refer and of the importance of that interrelationship.

We have attempted, and I think with considerable success, first to keep in closer liaison and working relations with Food and Drug, and Public Health insofar as governmental agencies are concerned; and also from the industrial standpoint with the representatives of industry in the agricultural chemical field. I myself have met with these different groups, and we were just developing a very close relation through Mr. Rohwer which we are hoping to continue, because we recognize that in the use of insecticides, on many crops, or for any
