STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



endeavor, not only for the college, but for the horticultural interests of 

 the state. Mr. O. K. White, a graduate of the college, and a successful 

 fruit grower, was secured for the work. Mr. White spends almost his 

 entire time in looking after experiments that have a direct bearing upon 

 local industries, and in demonstrating horticultural practices through- 

 out the state. Demands for his attendance at meetings of farmers in- 

 terested in better horticulture are great, and will soon be more than he 

 can meet. 



The spirit among all connected with the department is of the best; 

 no man incapable of getting along pleasantly with his fellow workers 

 can expect to remain in this department. The duties are exacting and 

 demand longer hours and closer attention than in most other depart- 

 ments, and to be of the most value, it is imperative that all work to- 

 gether. 



I take great satisfaction in reporting to you that the work of Assist- 

 ant Professor Halligan, Instructors Gunsou and Gregg, Mr. White, 

 College Field Agent in Horticulture, and Mr. Davis, foreman, has been 

 thoroughly satisfactory. 



Respectful Iv submitted, 



H. J. EUSTACE, 

 Professor of Horticulture.
