As the provisions of an act of congress approved March 2, 1887, under 

 which this experiment station is organized, limit the amount of each 

 year's appropriation which may be used for building purposes to 5 per 

 cent of such appropriation, and also require that the entire appropriation 

 for each year shall be expended during that year in order to entitle the 

 station to receive the full amount of the following year's appropriation, it 

 is necessary to make the following divided statement of the above account.
