New York Agricultural Experiment Station. 11 



tilizer inspection, for which |10,000 was formerly appropriated 

 annually, is now self-supporting. 



There is no good reason why the income of the Station should 

 permanently remain at its present amount. So long as our efforts 

 can be enlarged and strengthened in the service of the agriculture 

 of the State and to its satisfaction, it will be found profitable to 

 iucrease the expenditures in the interests of out greatest indus- 

 try. In consideration of its environment and opportunities and 

 of the wealth and position of the commonwealth which maintains 

 it, this Station is entitled to attain a leading position in its equip- 

 ment and in the character of its work. The citizens of this State 

 may well make it a matter of pride to insist that this high con- 

 dition of efficiency be reached and maintained.
