SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



Samples Received for Analysis. — In the following tabular statement the samples 

 received from farmers during the past year are enumerated and their nature indicated. 

 Every year sees an increase in this branch of our work, which is sufficient evidence of 

 its usefulness and popularity : — 



Samples Received for Examination and Report, 

 November 30, 1901, to December 1, 1902. 



Acknowledgments. — The very large amount of analytical work accomplished in the 

 Farm laboratories during the past year has only been made possible by the hearty co- 

 operation of the Assistant Chemists, Mr. A. T. Charron, M.A., and Mr. H. W. Charlton, 

 B.A.Sc. My thanks are due to these gentlemen for their prompt and skilful assistance 

 on all occasions, as well as for their warm interest in the various investigations under- 

 taken by this division. 



To Mr. J. F. Watson I am also much indebted for valuable help in connection with 

 the clerical work of the division. His duties have always been performed with assiduity 

 and care, and I am pleased to bear testimony to the excellence of his work. 



I have the honour to be, sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



FRANK T. SHUTT, 

 Chemist, Dominion Uxperimental Farms.
