 technical results will be published in a new series of bulletins entitled 

 Research Bulletins.

The Wisconsin Station has now completed a quarter century of en- 

 deavor and progress, having been founded by the State in 1883. The 

 practical and scientific work accomplished by the institution during 

 this period is of incalculable value to the agricultural interests of 

 the Commonwealth and to regions beyond its borders. The record of 

 the station forms an excellent foundation for future achievements 

 and promises the continued support and appreciation of the people.
