The Avork in dairy husbandry consisted of a study of the produc- 

 tion of dairy cows under present dairy conditions in Oklahoma and 

 the testing and calibrating of glassware used by commercial dairies

 the control of the chinch bug and San Jose scale by means of infec- 

 tion. Cooperative work with the district agricultural schools at 

 Warner, Tishomingo, Broken Arrow, Lawton, and Helena includes 

 variety tests and a study of plant-food requirements. In cooperation 

 with this department the station is studying the effect of different 

 climatic conditions upon the composition of red Kafir corn, black 

 Kafir corn, and milo maize upon the diseases attacking the sorghum 

 plant and upon the permanency of the beardless characteristic in 

 breeding barley. The station officers perfomied some extension work 

 in connection with farmers' institutes, meetings of agricultural and 

 live-stock organizations, and agricultural demonstration trains. 



The following publications were received from this station during 

 the year: Bulletins 84, Variety Test of Peaches; 85, Bermuda Grass; 

 86, Tree Culture; 87, Corn Culture; 88, The Southern Plum Aphis;
