IV. RECOMMENDATIONS. 



The most pressing need of the Department is increased working 

 <?pace, especially in the laboratory. During the past year every 

 student laboratory was overcrowded. Only one room is available 

 for analytical and investigational work. Often only one kind of 

 work can be conducted at one time owing to the character of the 

 work. 



The writer recommends that as soon as the funds are available, 

 there be appointed another assistant chemist to take up the mis- 

 cellaneous chemical work, inasmuch as there is enough work of an 

 investigational character to take all the time of the chemist now 

 employed.

 Professor of Agricultural Chemistry.
