The work of this station is conducted on too narrow a basis to fully 

 meet the needs of the aj^-riculture of the State. Its most important 

 work thus far has Ikch jn liejd and orchard experiments and these 

 should be extended to dill'erent regions of the State. The investiga- 

 tions in animal husbandr}' and dairying should be put on a more 

 scientific ])asis. and also l)e conducted on a largei* scah^ as recjards 

 their practical features. The resources of the station might well l)e 

 increased to enable it to enlarge its work along the lines indicated 

 above.
