Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public-Supported Cotton Research: Proceedings of Conference of Collaborators From Southern Agricultural Experiment Stations, New Orleans, La., April 2 and 3, 1973 Have we made a real effort to get the farm story into the big consumer magazines? Have we5. Last, we must be dedicated to serving the people. The general public pays our salaries and furnishes our laboratories, and has a right to expect a payoff from its investment. We cannot afford the luxury of doing research for re search's sake, or doing research just because it interests a particular individual. In my opinion, there is no conflict here between basic and ap plied research because both should be pursued with a payoff in mind. Mission-oriented research often will demand some very basic studies. The balance between fundamental research and ap plied research will depend upon the particular problem being solved.
