This Department is greatly in need of proper cold-storage facilities. 

 Much work is being done with the potato, one of the most important 

 crops of the State. This work is greatly hindered by the lack of proper 

 cold-storage. It seems possible that one cold-storage plant could be 

 built, large enough for the use of all departments. Such a plant could 

 be operated more cheaply than could separate storage rooms for each 

 department. 



The Department also needs a storage house for tools and crops, 

 near the experimental plats on the farm. Much valuable seed was lost 

 this summer because there was no building in which to store it until it 

 could be threshed. 



The experimental work of the Department is still handicapped by lack 

 of space for laboratory work.

 Professor of Plant-Breeding.
