 Sir: — I respectfully submit the following report for the 

 past year of the work under my charge as Director and 

 Agriculturist of the Alabama Experiment Station. 



Publications. 



During the calendar year 1009 the publications of the 

 Alabama Experiment Station consisted of the annual re- 

 port, five bulletins and one i)ress bulletin. The titles and 

 authors are given below : 



Bulletin No. 144. — The San Jose Scale and Lime-Sulphur 

 Wash ; by the Entomologist. 



Bulletin No. 14."). — Local Fertilizer Experiments With 

 Cotton in 100."). lOOO. 1007 and 1008; by the Director. 



Bulletin No. 140. — Facing the Boll Weevil Problem ia 

 Alabama ; by the Entomologist. 



Bulletin No. 147. — Crimson Clover; by the Director. 



Bulletin No. 148. — Raising Lambs in Alabama, Mainten- 

 ance, Rations for Ewes, Feeding Cotton Seed Meal to Preg- 

 nant Ewes ; by the Chief and Assistant in Animal Industry. 



Press Bulletin No. 34. — Tests of Varieties of Cotton in 

 1908; by the Director nnd Farm Superintendent. 



Press Bulletin No. 3.5. — Tests of Varieties of Corn in- 

 1900 ; by the Director and Farm Superintendent. 



As stated in each of my reports for the last two years^ 

 a large percentage of the bulletins of the Alabania Experi- 

 ment Station are now out of print. There is urgent need 

 that a number of the bulletins now out of print be reprinted. 

 However, this cannot be done unless a special fund be ap- 

 propriated for this purpose. 



An increase in the printing fund is also needed in order 

 thai li'.e mailing list of the Station be permitted to grow
