AGRONOMY 



G. E. Thompson, R. S. Hawkins, S. P. Claek 



During the period covered by this report, all the projects 

 discussed in the report of the previous year have been con- 

 tinued, and no new projects have been added. A small amount 

 of miscellaneous laboratory and office equipment has been pur- 

 chased but no items of great importance have been added. 



On the various Experiment farms where agronomic work 

 is carried on, a number of improvements have been made. On 

 the Salt River Valley Farm a substantial brick cottage has 

 been built as a foreman's residence, and a large, well-constructed 

 brick barn has just been completed. This barn houses the work 

 stock of the farm, provides storage room for hay, and two seed 

 rooms, all of which will be of material advantage in handling 

 the work of the farm. On this farm considerable work has 

 been done in the leveling of land, thus making it possible to do 

 more accurate experimental work ; and about one thousand dollars 

 have been spent in improving and extending cement ditches.

 chinery shed has been built and plans have been prepared for 

 the construction of a new cottage for the farm foreman.
