pigs. The cattle-breeding work was begun with grade Shorthorns, 

 Herefords, and native stock, and two calves of each were under 

 observation. 



Kesults of the work in agronomy have demonstrated that Japanese 

 cane is a very satisfactory forage plant. The Kudzu bean (Pueraria 

 thunbergiana) did not prove satisfactory, as the plant did not recover 

 well after cutting. Experiments were in progress in testing varieties 

 of corn and cotton, together with plant-breeding experiments and 

 breeding experiments for the improvement of these two crops in 

 yield and quality. The station carried on cooperative work with the 

 extension division of the college and with fruit growers in connection 

 with several projects carried on to solve some of their difficulties. 

 The director is the only officer of the station connected with the ex- 

 tension work, which is conducted principally by two officers engaged 

 specially for that purpose. Occasional lectures on specific lines of 

 investigation, however, were given during the year by station officers. 



The publications received from the station during the year were as 

 follows: Buletins 103, White-fly Control; 104, Pineapple Culture — 

 VII, Nitrates in the Soil ; 105, Japanese Cane for Forage ; 106, Scaly 

 Bark or Nail-head Rust of Citrus; and the Annual Report for 1910. 



The income of the station during the past fiscal year was as follows : 



United States appropriation, Hatch Act $15,000.00 



United States appropriation, Adams Act 15,000.00 



Fees 70. 00 



Farm products 709.96 



Miscellaneous 18. 27 



Balance from previous year 555.85 



Total 31, 354. 08 



The Florida station has in hand many problems peculiar to the 

 State, and the institution may be regarded as having a field distinctly 

 its own in which it pursues energetically and systematically the solu- 

 tion of questions concerning the farmer, truck grower, and orchardist.
