CONCLUSION. 



An examination of the reports of the Division ofEicers shows, not 

 only the great amount of work performed during the past year, but 

 also, its variety and importance, to the people of the State. The 

 Department comes into direct contact with practical agriculture, in 

 many different directions. Its work, consequently, is of necessity, 

 wide extended and must be of a helpful nature, in order to be of ser- 

 vice. This service is rendered through the use of bulletins of infor- 

 mation, Farmers' Institutes, nursery, food and fertilizer inspections.
