tional laboratory for mechanics and machinery. At least the follow- 

 ing barn structures are needed : a central or administration barn ; 

 horse barn ; dairy barns and other cattle barns ; pig barn ; sheep 

 barns. The animal husbandry, which is of commanding importance 

 to the State, cannot be developed until land and barns are provided. 



A new set of poultry buildings should be provided. 



Glass houses for the hqjticultural department, for investigations 

 in agronomy and in entomology, are essential. 



Live-stock must be secured if the College is to represent the State. 

 Additional teaching force must be provided if we are to meet the 

 needs and demands of the State. The College should have a summer 

 session for teachers in the rural schools. 



It must be remembered that we are now dealing with the problem 

 of establishing an up-to-date college of agriculture from the ground 

 up, not with merely supplementing or extending one that is already 

 housed and equipped. In saying this I do not forget the good work 

 of our predecessors, for if they had not persisted the present growth 

 would be impossible. It is because of the good foundations they 

 laid that the present superstructure can be erected, in a day when 

 popular education is coming to its own. 



I wish to express the sentiment of the members of the staff, and 

 also my owm, in appreciation of the way in which the people of the 

 State and the officers who control the policy of the University have 

 seconded our efforts to further the cause of agricultural education 

 in New York State. 



Respectfully submitted, 



L. H. BAILEY, 



Director of the College of Agriculture.
