The work of the Colorado Station has been well maintained during 

 the year notwithstanding numerous changes in personnel and organi-

 well supported by state appropriation. The conditions and agri- 

 cultural interests of the State are, however, extremely varied, and 

 the station has a very wide field to cover.
