Report of the Agriculturist. 



To the Director of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment 

 Station: 



Sir. — The work of the agricultural division during the greater 

 part of the year has been under the direction of Mr. G. C. Watson, 

 who resigned his position in August to accept the chair of agricul- 

 ture at the Pennsylvania State College. 



During the year the investigations with reference to the value 

 of feed stuffs have been continued and at the present time we are 

 feeding a lot of twenty-five pigs to determine the value of different 

 rations. The important line of work which was commenced sev- 

 eral years ago with barn manures has been continued and valuable 

 and interesting results obtained. Experiments to determine the 

 relation between cultivation and conservation of soil moisture 

 have been conducted on the permanent plots. It is expected that 

 the experiments with field crops and fertilizers will be continued 

 through a series of years, for in this way only can results of any 



value be obtained.
