444 BOAED OF AGRICULTUEE. 



Senior class has studied for one terra the composition of 

 ores, aslies, fertilizers, and soils. 



Besides this regular class exercise, a considerable amount 

 of work has been carried on by special students in chemistry, 

 and by post-graduates of the college. 



The rooms of the chemical department of the college 

 which have been spacious enough during past years, will be 

 insufficient to meet the demands of incoming larger classes, 

 and of the experiment station. 



As it will be impossible to accommodate satisfactorily 

 both institutions a year hence, it seems most desirable that 

 action should be taken soon, to meet the growing wants of 

 the chemical department of the college in regard to addi- 

 tional rooms and permanent assistance.
