 duty of the Station to pubhsh the results of its investigations. 

 Although the correspondence that bears upon general agriculture

 ment of the University the letters attended to by the Station are 

 numerous. By actual count the letters received during the 

 first week in February, 191 2, when this special report was 

 being prepared, numbered 834. Not all of these required let-

 as more pretentious papers that were printed in scientific peri- 

 odicals, both American and foreign.
