 Station : 



Sir — During tlie past year ending Juni' ."id, li)OI), nothing has been done 

 by this department in an experimental way for the exjieriment station, 

 although a large amount of correspondence has been carried on, some of 

 which has been received through your office, some from the secretary 

 and other departments, but the large i)roj)()rtion was received directly 

 by this department. From this corresj)ondence no serious outbreak of 

 contagious disease may be reported although the matter of verminous 

 disease of sheep seems to be somewhat on tlie inci-ease. I believe that 

 much good could be done -along this line and would suggest that a popular 

 bulletin be issued containing the known methods of treatment of the 

 several forms of verminous infestations which are now known to be at 

 least jiartially successful, and further that the experiment station should 

 devote some time and funds to the trying out of these and other treat- 

 ments under typical conditions, or perhai)s in cooperation with sheep 

 owners. 



Respectfullv submitted,
