A report of the receipts and expenditures for the United States 

 funds has been rendered in accordance with the schedules prescribed 

 by this Department and has been approved. 



This station lacks state funds, which are much needed for the 

 development of its work. It is doing thorough and high-grade work 

 in a number of lines, and is in close touch with the problems of 

 agricultural practice. Its extensive cooperative trials with farmers 

 serve to extend the experiments made at the station to various 

 localities and conditions throughout the State, and call wider atten- 

 tion to the results.

The definite separation of the station from the agricultural de- 

 partment of the college, which was put into effect at the beginning 

 of the fiscal year, involved the equipment of some new laboratories 

 and the laying out of new horticultural and agricultural grounds. 

 The time required for this work interfered in a measure with experi- 

 mental work during the season, but the new arrangement gave good 

 promise of working out satisfactorily, and it is the intention to make 

 it permanent. The new fields for the agricultural and horticultural 

 departments are for the exclusive use of the station, and 30 acres of 

 the area have been terraced and prepared for permanent plat work. 

 A house for the horticulturist and a field laboratory building for the 

 different departments have been erected on the new horticultural 

 grounds. 



The farm of the substation at Jadburg was drained according to 

 plans made by this Office. The clearing of the land and other general 

 preparations to get the station in readiness for work were continued. 

 Experimental work has been planned and will be taken up as soon 

 as conditions permit. The annual income of the substation is $10,000, 

 which is derived from the fertilizer tax and covers buildings, equip- 

 ment, and general maintenance. 



Progress was made in all Adams fund projects. The study of the 

 effect of pollen from barren corn plants was continued, and a large
