Twouty-five bulletins, of eight to ten thousand copies each, and two annual reports 

 have been issued during the 'A2 uu)uths that the station has been established. A 

 large amount of worlc, which is believed to have been of direct and immediate value 

 to agriculture, but which can not be set forth in buUelius, has been done during the 

 year. The statioji staff have given many addresses at the various meetings of agri- 

 culturists, liave answered numerous inquiries through the press and by letter, and 

 have visited several sections of the State in order to render assistance in solving 

 difficulties of a general character. 



The mailing list has reached 12,000, and 0,000 jiersons have acknowledged the 

 receipt of the bulletins. Several hundred letters received anunallj' from the pro- 

 gressive farmers of the State in commendation of the work done, testify to the full 

 appreciation of the value of the station. 



In accordance with the law, one copy of each publication is sent to each of the 

 1,700 papers published in the State ; this wise provision enables us to reach nearly a 

 million readers monthly.
