 completed during the year, and a small building was constructed on a 

 ranch about 20 miles south of Elko and equipped for laboratorj'^ work 

 on animal diseases (PI. VI, fig. 1). Shortly after the close of the 

 A'ear C. A. Jacol)son, of the Rockefeller Institute, was added to the 

 station staff as research chemist, and A. A. Heller was appointed 

 assistant botanist and horticulturist during the j'ear.

 in the northeastern part of the State for dry-farming experiments, 

 and durinof the year a tract of IGO acres was selected in the northern 

 jDart of Elko Count}'. The management of this farm was intrusted 

 to the board of control of the experiment station. The station con- 

 tinues to participate in the management of the Lincoln County Ex- 

 periment Farm in southern Nevada, being represented on the board 

 of control of this farm by P. B. Kennedy of the station staff.
