 funds has been rendered in accordance with the schedules prescribed 

 by this Department and has been approved. 



Much progress was made in organizing the business and various 

 activities of the New Hampshire Station, and at the close of the year 

 it was regarded as in a prosperous condition and doing more effective 

 work than at any previous period in its history. Difficulty between 

 the director and the board, arising largely out of the disposition of 

 members to take the direction of the station into their own hands, 

 led to the enforced resignation of the director in the earh' fall. This 

 action was taken in the face of the improved administrative condi- 

 tions, the interest the station was arousing in its work in the State, 

 and the protest of the president of the college. It was a distinct 

 blow to station administration through the director, and the result 

 of a wrong conception of the duties and functions of board members. 

 So long as conditions continue in the board which make such an act 

 possible the future of the station will remain uncertain, and it can 

 not attain its highest efficiency.

No new experiments were planned or carried out during the year, 

 the lines of work being practically identical with those heretofore 

 reported. The State Station is in charge of inspection work and the 

 analyses of fertilizers, feeding stuff's, insecticides, and similar mate- 

 rials. On April 1, 190'J, B. H. A. Groth was appointed plant physi- 

 ologist of the station and has, since the close of the fiscal year, entered 

 upon his duties. With full facilities for work both in the field and 

 the laboratory, he is devoting his entire time to research. In order to 

 enlarge the facilities of the department of soil chemistry and bacteri- 

 ology a new greenhouse was added to its equipment.
