tion with arsenite of soda as a sjDray solution, the utilization of the 

 pulp from sisal mills, fiber in banana stalks and pineapple leaves, the 

 production of oil from kukui nuts, etc. 



Arrangements were made with private individuals and companies 

 for cooperative experiments with fertilizers for different crops, the 

 growing of sweet potatoes, corn culture, and other forms of diversi- 

 fied agriculture. During the past year under territorial funds the 

 station established three demonstration farms, one on Kauai and 

 two on Hawaii. 



The publications of the Hawaii station during the past year were 

 the Annual Report for 1910; Bulletins 22, Insects Attacking the 

 Sweet Potato in Hawaii; 23, Leguminous Crops for HaAvaii; 24, 

 The Assimilation of Nitrogen by Rice ; 25, The Avocado in Hawaii ; 

 Press Bulletins 28, Peanuts in Hawaii; 29, The Management of 

 Pineapple Soils; 30, Killing Weeds with Arsenite of Soda; 31, Brief 

 Instructions for Farm Butter Makers ; and 32, Cultural Methods for 

 Controlling the Cotton Bollworm. 



The revenues of the station for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1911, 

 were as follows: 



United States appropriation $28,000.00 



Sales and other funds 18,494.47 



Total ; 46, 494. 47 



The work of the Hawaii station is continuing to attract favorable 

 attention and to create greater interest in the culture of a number of 

 important crops adapted to the islands. This is notably true of its 

 work with cotton, which seems to have demonstrated the profitable- 

 ness of growing the crop in Hawaii, and which enjoys the confidence 

 of the planters, as shown by the increase in the acreage for com- 

 mercial production.

The Idaho station made progi-ess during the year in its various 

 lines of work. The station staff was enlarged by the addition of a 

 plant pathologist and assistants in bacteriology, horticulture, and 

 animal husbandry. While the State made no direct appropriation 

 for experimental work, an allowance of $13,500 was made for the 

 purchase of 120 acres of additional land adjoining the present ex- 

 periment farm. The State also gave $6,000 for the construction of 

 modern and thoroughly equipped dairy bams.
