 neglected on account of the shortage of help, as well as the necessity of 

 spending a great deal of time in the extension field. Mr. Stanley J. 

 Brownell, Research Assistant in Dairying, has published the bulletin 

 "Studies in Milk Distribution." Other work conducted has been the 

 situdies with sweet clover as a pasture foi* dairy cattle. The first trial 

 was in June and July, 1921, and the results were reported in the 

 Quarterly Bulletin, The breeding experiments conducted in co-oper- 

 ation with the U, S. Department of Agriculture have been continued 

 and are still being carried on. Minor investigations in the study of 

 the production of clean milk have also been started in co-operation 

 with the Bacteriology Department.
