AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY. 



During the year 1906-7 the work of the chemical department of 

 the College of Agriculture was done almost entirely by Dr. Jas. A. 

 Bizzell. In July of the present year he was transferred to the 

 work in the experiment station and from that date the writer did 

 the work till October ist, when more assistance was available. 

 The work may be summarized as follows : 



Samples 



Insecticides 15 



Eggs and poultry products 20 



Fertilizing materials 10 



Feeds 24 



Soils 13 



Magnesia pipe coverings 12 



Root crops for agronomy department 118 



Total 212 



The work on root crops for the Department of Agronomy is to 

 be continued and arrangements have been made for the examination 

 of about 1,000 samples during the present autumn.
