Professor J. F. Cox and members of the Crops Department. 



I am ceptaiii that the recently authorized adclitiou of two half-time 

 graduate assistantships aud two quarter-time graduate assistautshi]3s 

 will greatly strengthen the laborator}^ and research work. 



The number of inquiries received from farmers by mail relating to crops 

 questions has greatly increased. Eleven thousand, four hundred and 

 eighty first-class letters were written by experiment station and college 

 workers in the Farm Crops Department, and eight thousand, four hundred 

 and seventy-five first-class letters hj extension men in Crops, or a total 

 of nineteen thousand, nine hundred and sixt\-one letters in answer to 

 crops inquiries. In addition a large number of inquiries were answered 

 by appropriate bulletins or circulars. 



I take great pleasure in reporting the past year as one of progress 

 characterized by the earnest endeavor and loyal support of all members 

 of the Crops Department. 



Respectfully vours, 



J. F. COX, 



Profe.ssor of Farm Crops.
