GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



The work of the Minnesota Station has not changed materially during 

 the past 3'ear. Breeding- investigations with cereals and grasses in 

 cooperation with the Bureau of Plant Industry of this Department 

 and with other northwestern stations continue to occup}^ a ver}'^ promi- 

 nent place in the work of the station. The station has also continued 

 to cooperate with the Bureau of Chemistr}^ in studying the available 

 plant food in soils, with the Bureau of Statistics in securing data 

 relating to the cost of growing field crops and to farm management, 

 and with this Office in nutritioji investigations. A study of mosquitoes 

 in cooperation with the Division of Entomology has also been under- 

 taken. The entomologist has succeeded in breeding the Hessian li}^ 

 and has thus been enabled to make some advance in the knowledge of 

 this insect. The station chemist in connection with his investigations 

 on the food and nutrition of man is planning to take up work with 

 macaroni wheats.
