ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 

 The undersigned desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to the Presi- 

 dent of Purdue University and to the Directors of the Experiment Station, 

 for many valuable suggestions. As heretofore the services of the Secretary 

 of the University and of the auditing committee, in keeping the accounts 

 and auditing the bills, have been rendered without charge against the 

 institute fund. The attitude of the press of the State has continued to be 

 cordial and very helpful indeed. The railway companies have granted 

 special rates as heretofore, to speakers, upon request of the Superintendent. 

 In most cases the county institute officers have labored as heretofore 

 without compensation and the success of the work in their respective 

 counties has been largely due to the pubUc spirit and the generosity with 

 whicli these gratuitous services have been rendered.
