J. H. Worst, LL. D.. Director. 



General progress was made in the various lines of work at the 

 North Dakota station during the year. The station staff remained 

 practicallj'^ the same as the. year before, and several of the station 

 departments entered upon the use of the facilities afforded by new 

 buildings recently completed. The new fire-proof chemical building, 

 costing $125,000, was occuj)ied. This building is well equipj^ed for 

 research work, but the chemical library destroyed by the fire has 

 thus far been replaced only in a small way. Additional quarters for 

 the botanist were secured during the past year, and private parties 

 provided funds for securing assistants in the pure-seed work of the 

 department, its field-breeding experiments, and its studies on the 

 histology and physiology of plant diseases. The State made biennial 

 appropriations of $25,000 for maintaining five substations, $24,000 

 for the support of the demonstration farms, and $15,550 for addi- 

 tional buildings and other equipment at the substations. For the 

 enforcement of the pure-seed law, the State appropriates $2,500 per 

 3'ear.
