Nothing in sections [361a](/usc/7/361a.md) to [361i](/usc/7/361i.md) of this title shall be construed to impair or modify the legal relation existing between any of the colleges or universities under whose direction [State](/usc/7/198.md?p=5) agricultural experiment stations have been established and the government of the [States](/usc/7/198.md?p=5) in which they are respectively located. [States](/usc/7/198.md?p=5) having agricultural experiment stations separate from such colleges or universities and established by law, shall be authorized to apply such benefits to research at stations so established by such [States](/usc/7/198.md?p=5): Provided, That in any [State](/usc/7/198.md?p=5) in which more than one such college, university, or agricultural experiment station has been established the appropriations made pursuant to sections [361a](/usc/7/361a.md) to [361i](/usc/7/361i.md) of this title for such [State](/usc/7/198.md?p=5) shall be divided between such institutions as the legislature of such [State](/usc/7/198.md?p=5) shall direct.
