ods of treatment. Many experiments commenced in former 

 years have been duplicated and results verified. The subject 

 of the leaching of manures has received considerable attention 

 and there is now material at hand for the publication of several 

 bulletins upon the subjects which have been under investigation. 



Lime and its action upon acid soils, its value as a conserver of 

 moisture and the beneficial action it exerts on the physical con- 

 dition of soils are all questions now under investigation and to 

 be investigated during the coming year. It is proposed to com- 

 mence a series of cooperative culture experiments. Such marked 

 results have been obtained at the Station by improved conditions 

 -and by increased tillage of farm crops that in order more fully 

 to verify the results obtained and awaken interest in the work 

 among farmers, an extensive cooperative experiment in potato 

 culture will be inaugurated. 



In general, the work of the Division will be largely along the 



lines of securing increased crop production by better methods 



of tillage.
