Description

In this letter, dated February 6, 1934, from North Dakota Governor William Langer to New Mexico Governor Arthur Seligman, Langer refers to the elimination of appropriated funding for dry land experiment stations from the 1934-1935 federal budget. Langer notes that these stations are funded by both their host states and the federal government, and writes that without this appropriation of $250,000.00 some of the states included in the experiment must bear the full cost or close their stations. Langer asks Governor Seligman to write the President urging reinstatement of the appropriation.

Identical letters were also sent to other governors including Governor Leslie Miller of Wyoming, Governor Edward Johnson of Colorado and Governor Miriam Ferguson of Texas.
