14 Dibectob's Report ok the 



entire country. The next volume to be issued will be entitled the 

 " Cherries of New York." This will probably not be out of the press 

 for at least two years. If circumstances permit, this volume will 

 be followed by the " Peaches of New York; " the date of publication 

 of which is at present quite uncertain. 



It should be understood by the public at large that the demand 

 for the " Apples of New York " was so great that the Legislature 

 of 1913 authorized the printing of another edition of 5,000 copies, 

 these copies to be sold at the cost of printing, which will probably 

 be not far from $2.25 per set. This arrangement will enable those 

 interested in apples to secure this publication whether residents 

 of the State or not. Application for these should be made to the 

 Commissioner of Agriculture at Albany, not to the Station. 



INSPECTION WORK PERFORMED IN COOPERATION WITH THE STATE 

 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



As is well known, the samples of fertilizers, feeding stuffs, fungi- 

 cides and insecticides and seeds, collected by the Commissioner of 

 Agriculture in the performance of his duties, are forwarded to this 

 institution for analysis. The Station is also required by law to test 

 the accuracy of, and brand, the Babcock glassware that is used in 

 the State in those creameries and cheese factories where milk is 

 purchased on the basis of the fat which it contains. 



The following is a statement of the samples examined by the 

 Station during the year that has now ended. We have also examined 

 many samples of agricultural seeds, sent in by farmers, that were 

 not official.
