Report of Agriculturist. xvii 



acquainting the farmers of the state with the results which have 

 been secured in our work. Co-operative experiments through- 

 out the state are now being conducted by Mr. J. L. Stone, 

 Assistant in Agriculture under the ' ' Nixon Fund. ' ' Several hun- 

 dred farmers are conducting under his supervision tillage and 

 fertilizer experiments with potatoes, sugar beets and beans. 

 These co-operative experiments are most valuable in that they 

 enable us to test methods under various conditions, and they also 

 serve as object lessons to the farmers of the state. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Iv. A. Clinton.
