PART V. _73 Technical specialists have nothing to do with the framing of such policy or procedure. This is a matter lying between the Director of Agriculture and the Government which he serves, with due regard to the desires of, and co-operation with, institutions (such as the British Cotton Growing Association and the Empire Cotton Growing Corporation) organised at home for large treatment of the work in hand : institutions which may or may not assist with provision for the supply of the technical officers concerned. Where technical officers are supplied by such institutions as the above, their work will of course be devised according to the wishes of those institutions, which will doubtless desire to consult the Director of Agriculture concerned, before deciding the matter. These technical officers will submit their schemes of work, based on the general plan, to the Director, for consultation. In such a case as this, if the technical officers are using part of an agricultural station belonging to the Department of Agriculture, experience has shown that the labour required for their work should be allocated to those officers by the agricultural officer in charge of the station, on a scale decided in mutual consultation, with reference to the Director of Agriculture if and as required. It has shown, further, that it is best for the agricultural officer to be in general charge of all labour employed, recruiting, care of labourers, payment of wages, etc., all being in his hands alone, with the manifest exception that technical officers will obtain any skilled labour that they may wish for, and that may be available, the care, ete., of such labour being in the hands of the Agricultural Officer, as for ordinary labour. Where technical officers are supplied from the funds of an Agricultural Department, the control of them and their work will be in all respects the same as that for ordinary agricultural officers. Where there is allotted to such officers for their work part of a general agricultural station, the care, ete., of the labour will be in the hands of the agricultural officer as above, the division and supply of labour being decided among those officers in mutual consultation with reierence as requisite, as described already. Technical specialists provided institutionally (see above) will report to the supplying institution, with copies to the Director of Agriculture who will comment and recommend on them to the the Chief Secretary who will in turn communicate the comments, ete., to the Secretary of State for transmission to the institution concerned. Technical specialists supplied Governmentally will report in the manner of an ordinary agricultural officer. In the case of technical specialists provided institutionally at first, and then acquired by Government after a period of time, it seems fair that after such acquisition copies of their reports should continue to be supplied direct to the institution originally providing them, and that the institution in question should continue to possess the right to comment and recommend on such reports, as considered requisite, through the Secretary of State, the Director of Agriculture concerned giving through his Government any requisite information and the reasons why any activities under the above recommendation have not been or will not be undertaken. on
