cooperated with this department in ]ilant-breeding work, but nothing 

 very extensive was entered upon during the year. A large amount of 

 extension Avork was undertaken in dilFerent parts of the State with 

 a view to getting the fanners to follow some definite method of 

 oultui'e or some program in their feeding oi^erations. In this work 

 the farmers record such data as can best be kept and report the same 

 to the extension department of the institution. 



The extension department of the college was greatly enlarged dur- 

 ing the year with the increased funds available for this purpose, and 

 movable schools on different subjects were organized. E. L. Holton, 

 of the Teachers' College of Columbia University, was added to the 

 extension department during the year, for the purpose of introducing 

 industrial training into the public-school system of the State. 



The publications received from this station during the year were as 

 follows: Bulletins 158, Analyses of Registered Feeding Stuffs; 159, 

 AnaWses of Eggs; 160, CoAvpeas; 161, The Influence of Depth of
