 Prof. J. F. Duggar, Director, 



Alabama Experiment Station, 

 Auburn, Ala. 

 Sir: 



Work in the Department of Chemistry for the year li)18 in 

 eluded study of the effects of peanuts, peanut meal, velve' 

 beans, corn, and tankage upon the carcasses and fat of hogs 

 receiving those products in various proportions in the rations. 

 In the study of the composition of cotton seed in breeding 

 experiments designed to develop a strain of cotton with seed 

 high in oil, it has been found possible to correlate the per- 

 centage of oil and ammonia with the amounts of certain 

 inorganic constitulents present in the seed. 



The Department is also correlating the physiological changes 

 within the colton seed with climatic conditions existing dur- 

 ing the growth of the plant. 



Early publication of results of the lalter investigation is 

 contemplated. 



Respectfully submitted. 



C. L. HARE, 

 Physiological Chemist.
