GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



No material changes in the work of the West Virginia Station have 

 been made during the past j-ear. The usual amoimt of institute work 

 has been done and addresses have been delivered by members of the 

 station staff at various educational and farmers' meetings throughout 

 the State. The constantly increasing correspondence indicates a 

 larger interest and confidence in the work of the station among 

 citizens of the State. The chemist has discontinued temporarily the 

 work on the preservation of fruit juices by means of pressure in order 

 to devote all of his energies to the possibilities of pressure in the arti- 

 ficial fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, which investigation was begun 

 over eight years ago and has been receiving nmch attention ever since.
