time be made, this will constitute one of the most important 

 agricultural meetings of the year. The details of the seed im- 

 provement field work will be discussed more fully in the report 

 of Mr. Cook, agent in charge. In closing my report upon this 

 particular section of departmental work coming under my offi- 

 cial supervision, I desire to express my appreciation of the 

 extremely valuable services rendered by ]\Ir. Cook to the De- 

 partment and to the farmers of the State during the .short time 

 that has elapsed since liis official relations with the Department 

 began. 



MEETINGS. 



Following the plan adopted for several years past the Dairy 

 Division force have responded to as many calls for lectures 

 upon agricultural subjects as possible. The ever increasing 

 demand for lectures and demonstrations is the justification 

 for continuing this line of work. In my report only such 

 meetings as were attended by the Dairy Instructor personally 

 or where speakers were furnished from outside the Dairy 

 Division force will be tabulated. Those attended by tire other 

 representatives of the Division will be reported upon by them 

 individually.
