The committee appointed at the last annual meeting of the 

 Pomological Society to take under consideration the matter of 

 the State Fruit Farm, reported as follows : 



We find that the law passed for the purchase of the farm 

 also put the management of the farm into the hands of the 

 director of the experiment station and the receipts and expendi- 

 tures are kept by the treasurer of the University of Maine, 

 which are open for inspection. Every item goes on, everything 

 sold from the farm and everything that is paid for. We think 

 that those figures would be useful if they were published. 

 We understand an appropriation is to be asked for in the next 

 legislature and when that ma.tter is brought up any amendments 

 to the original law will be in order. 



Respectfully submitted, 



JOHN W. TRUE, 



For the Committee.
