REPORT. 



Ithaca, N. Y., July 29, 1898. 



To His Excellency y the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of 

 New York, Albany, N. Y. 



Sir :— 



I have the honor to transmit herewith the eleventh annual report 

 of the Agricultural Experiment Station of Cornell University, in accord- 

 ance with the Act of Congress of March 2, 1887, establishing the 

 Station. 



This document contains the report of the Director and the special 

 reports of his scientific coadjutors, as well as copies of the bulletins 

 published by the Station during the year and a detailed statement of 

 the receipts and expenditures. 



The Experiment Station of Cornell University is supported by an 

 annual appropriation from the Federal Treasury, and its influence has, 

 in recent years, been gready augmented by reason of supplementary 

 appropriations made by the Legislature of the State of New York. I 

 believe that the showing of the Director's report abundantly vindicates 

 the wisdom of these expenditures. 



I have the honor to be your obedient servant, 



J. G. SCHURMAN, 

 President of Cornell University,
