Under the auspices of the National Sci Foundation, studies have been made of the nature of sci'fic activities carried on by the state gov's in the 6 states of Calif, Conn, N.M., N. Y., & N. Carolina & Wisc. The studies cover the fiscal yrs of 1953 & 1954 & indicate the expenditures for sci'fic activities in money & man-hours. This article briefly reports some of the findings. Each of the 6 states spent between 1.3% & 2% of its total expenditures for sci'fic activities in 1954. With the exception of N. Y. & N. M., more funds were spent for sci'fic activities in the field of agriculture than in other areas. N.
