The income of the station during the past fiscal year was as follows: 



United States appropriation, Hatcti Act $15,000.00 



United States appropriation, Adams Act 5, 000. 00 



State appropriation « 18, 500. 00 



Fees 2,600.00 



Total 41,100.00 



Eeports of the receipts and expenditures for the United States 

 funds have been rendered in accordance with the schedules pre- 

 scribed by this Department and have been approved. 



During the year provision has been made for the erection of farm 

 engineering and agronomy buildings for the college of agricultm^e. 

 A tobacco shed has been built solely for experimental purposes, and 

 several tracts of land have been secured and improved. Through the 

 efforts of the college and station a law has been enacted requiring the 

 licensing by the college of all stallions in the State for which service 

 fees are charged. This law, which is the first of its kind in this coun- 

 try, has already resulted in the elimination of a large number of low- 

 grade stallions. 



The college continues to make rapid growth, and a number of addi- 

 tions have been made, both to its staff' and to that of the station. An 

 attempt is being made to differentiate the work to a greater extent 



than formerly.

The work of the Wyoming Station has in a large measure passed 

 the pioneer stage of merely testing the adaptability of crops and meth- 

 ods of farming to high altitudes and arid region conditions. The 

 station has shown that oats, barley, wheat, rye, and other cereals, 

 potatoes and other root croj3s, alfalfa, peas, spelt, and a great variety 

 of other forage plants and many kinds of fruits and vegetables can 

 be successfully grown under conditions which were formerly thought 

 to debar successful farming, and has convinced the ranchman that 

 many of these products can be utilized to make his stock raising more 

 profitable. In consequence, stock feeding for marketing in finished 

 form has been added to stock raising as formerly carried on. This has 

 brought about better methods of management, increased care of ani- 



a Including $2,000 for cranberry investigations and $1,500 for tobacco investi- 

 gations.
