this investment should have worthy representation in the work of the 

 Institution, and a center for these interests in the way of housing which 

 can be recognized as such. 



It is j)erhaps not necessary for me to recite other needs of the depart- 

 ment at this time. However, some expansion must come if we are pre- 

 pared to do the work which we may be called upon to do. 



The application of farm mechanics to practical conditions usually 

 means the solution of a specific problem for an individual. A great deal 

 of our time must necessarily be spent this way if we are to keep in touch 

 with developments. Also, problems are varied and small in single appli- 

 cations but great in the aggregate. 



The reports of this department on Extension and Experiment Station 

 work will be found with the reports of these Divisions respectively. 



I am indeed grateful for the support I have been accorded in the de- 

 partment and the assistance I have received from other departments. We 

 are especially indebted to the Engineering Division for the use of space 

 and for assistance rendered through Prof. Dirks in conducting our 

 Tractor Courses. 



Yours respectively, 



H. H. MUSSELMAN, 



Professor of Farm Mechanics.

 has necessitated dividing some of the classes into two sections owing to 

 limited laboratory space, but it has been possible to arrange these sections 

 so that the work could be efficiently handled. No changes were made in 

 the personnel of the department during the year.

 Jordan Lumber Company near Green River, the Company furnishing 

 us with the use of much equipment needed to operate the camp, A high
