The budget as given above is in the one filed with the Commission 

 of Efficiency and Economy and the Comptroller's office, excepting 

 that in all cases outside of common labor the salaries of the various 

 positions in the scientific, clerical and labor staffs are individualized. 



The appropriations requested for the fiscal year 1915-16, are in 

 total $5,000 more than the appropriations that were made for the 

 fiscal year 1914-15. This is due to the fact that previous to January 

 1, 1914, the proceeds from the farm were directly applied to Station 

 expenses. Since January 1, 1914, all farm products have been turned 

 into cash and the proceeds forwarded to the Comptroller's office. 

 The amount of such proceeds is not far from $4,000 per year. 



For various reasons, I have in addition submitted a substitute 

 schedule of expenses consisting of but four items, as follows: 



Salaries of Scientific and Clerical Force. 



For the payment of the salaries of director, agronomists, bacteriologists, 

 botanists, chemists, dairy experts, editor and librarian, entomologists, 

 horticulturists, field agents, stenographers, clerks and other scientific 

 and clerical help necessary to the carrying out of the purposes of the 

 institution through investigations and experiments at the institution 

 and throughout the State $70,000
