During the year important additions have been made to the area 

 of farm land available for the use of the College. Much of this area 

 has not yet been taken possession of and the remaindei was secured so 

 late in the season that cutting the hay was the only farming attempted 

 on it. The newly acf|uired area comprises about 380 acres of land, 

 nearly all of which is in a neglected and depleted condition, but when 

 brought into good condition will be of great use to the College. Much 

 of this land, as well as the area previously in our possession, requires 

 draining before it can be satisfactory for use. To facilitate this work, 

 the department has secured a Buckeye Traction Ditcher, which is 

 being used- with success. 



Extensive additions have been made to the farm machinery equip- 

 ment.
