A full and explicit account of the work which has been, at- 

 tempted under this State grant is given in Bulletin 110. 



The accustomed work at the home station has taken a secondary 

 place to this State work during the past two years. We have 

 also suffered a serious loss during the past season in the wanton 

 destruction of all our cherr.y orchard, our entire vineyard, nearly 

 our entire collection of native plums, and a large lot of seedling 

 currants and other plants, by the grading which was done to pro- 

 vide for a site for the State Veterinary College. These planta- 

 tions were devastated without warning, and the work of several 

 years was irrevocably lost. The Experiment Station houses are 

 getting old and are much in need of repairs. Our area is now 

 so small that we can not expect to plan much new experimenting 

 therein in fruit-culture; and it is now so com})letely occupied by 

 permanent planting that experiments in vegetable gardening must 

 henceforth be very limited and must eventually cease. 



Respectfully submitted, 



L. H. BAILEYS
