SUMMARY OF STATISTICS OF THE STATIONS. 



Agricultural experiment stations are now in operation under the 

 acts of Congress of March 2, 1887, and March 16, 1906, in all the 



States and Territories, and under special appropriation acts in 

 Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and Guam. 



In Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jer- 

 sey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia separate stations are 

 maintained wholly or in part by State funds. A number of substa- 

 tions are also maintained in different States. Excluding the substa- 

 tions, the total number of stations in the United States is 62. Of 

 these, 55 receive appropriations provided for by acts of Congress. 



The total income of the stations maintained under the acts of 1887 

 and 1906 during 1910 was $3,537,700.25, of which $1,344,000 (Hatch 

 fund, $720,000; Adams fund, $624,000) was received from the Na- 

 tional Government, the remainder, $2,193,700.25, coming from the
