. Agri-news. Agriculture. August 11, 1975 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DUAL ROLE FOR AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES The significance to agriculture of applied research was emphasized today in an Alberta government endorsement of the research function in the province's agri- cultural colleges. The announcement, issued jointly by agriculture minister Marvin Moore and Dr. A. E. Hohol, minister of advanced education and manpower, encourages a dual- role purpose for farms at Fairview, Lakeland-Vermilion and Olds Colleges. Without undermining education as the primary function of these college farms, recognition is given to the potential of the laboratory setting for agricultural research. Meaningful results from experimental programs have repeatedly influenced techniques and provided valuable knowledge to the farming community. In addition to the projects initiated internally by faculty and students, the colleges will respond to requests for co-operative research from outside government agencies, private companies and individuals. External agencies and individuals wishing use of college farms for applied research will negotiate conditions with the college president or principal. Respon- sibility for funding rests with the requesting group or person. Formation of an Applied Research Advisory Committee is planned, to establish guidelines for current activities and future needs of applied research. The initial proposal suggests a maximum of 12 members, dr-awn from the farming community, concerned private agencies, related government departments and participating colleges. -30- Phone (403) 427-2127 ydlbcrra AGRICULTURE COMMUNICATIONS.
