 ern mailing list of 2500 names. The labor of doing this twice 

 each month has been very considerable, involving an output of 

 some 45000 pieces of mail in addition to our regular correspon- 

 dence and bulletins. The many expressions of regard and ap- 

 preciation, however, which have been returned to us by the farm- 

 ers of the Territory have amply rewarded the labor. The sub- 

 jects treated and the times when issued are as follows:

INSTITUTE WORK. 



The Station staff has organized or assisted in eight farmers' 

 institutes during the year as follows: Tempe 1, Mesa City 2, 

 Buckeye 1, Glendale 1, Safford 1, Thatcher 1, Pima 1. These 

 institutes were for the most part productive of interested discus-, 

 sion on the part of those present and were especially valuable to 

 the Station in improving the acquaintance of the members of the 

 staff with the different agricultural districts in Arizona. 



ADDITIONS TO THE EXPERIMENT STATION FARM. 



The Experiment Station farm on Grand Ave. , northwest of 

 Phoenix, has been maintained and added to during the year.
