Institutions' Building at the State Fair and one in the Dairy building in 

 connection with the dairy products department. 



4. The ivinter-course instruction considered above may also be included 

 in the extension work. In addition to the actual instruction of the winter- 

 course students, the department gives assistance in placing the present 

 and previous winter-course students in satisfactory positions. During 

 the past year more calls for men have been received from owners and 

 managers of dairy plants than we have had men to recommend. The 

 demand for men with technical training in the different lines of dairy 

 manufactures and farm dairy work seems to be increasing rapidly from 

 year to year. 



5. The cow-test work already described should also be included with 

 the extension activities of the department. 



recommendations. 



The departm.ent is still in need of a refrigerating plant as outlined in 

 the report of this department last year. The installation of a good 

 refrigerating equipment will add materially to the teaching facilities of 

 the department and make it possible to conduct experimental work which 

 we cannot at the present time. The installation of this equipment will 

 probably necessitate a special appropriation. 



The production and handling of market milk is increasing in importance 

 in this State each year. Our department has very limited quarters for 

 teaching this subject and no adequate facilities for carrying on the work 

 on a commercial scale. We should add to our facilities for this instruc- 

 tion greater space and increased equipment just as soon as possible. 



One of the greatest needs of the department is a man to devote his 

 time very largely to field work. The addition of such a person would 

 enable the department greatly to increase its extension work away from 

 Ithaca and it is hoped that the necessary funds may become available 

 in the near future.
