publication which will relate to one specific subject only, that may be 

 directly helpful to the fanners. 



Fifth, Press Bulletins. For several years the institution has been 

 issuing from two to five hundred word articles to the press of the state. 

 The object of this has been to disseminate information through the 

 press to the farmers of the state, thereby getting it into their hands 

 quickly in case of emergency as the demand may arise through special 

 causes.

 Experiment Station:

Owing to the fact that no Experiment Station funds were used in 

 conducting experimental work in connection with the Departments of 

 Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Poultry, Farm Mechanics and 

 Farm Crops, mention will be made of the work carried on in these 

 departments in connection with the report of the Dean of Agriculture. 

 During the year special state funds were available for live stock ex- 

 perimental work and also work in connection with the poultry depart- 

 ment. This has been true in the past four years, but the results of the 

 experimental work derived in this way have been turned over to the 

 Experiment Station for publication when completed, and a somewhat 

 complete description of these lines of work will, therefore, be given in
