NOTES. 



Alabama College. — G. H. C. Williams, a graduate of the Pennsylvania State College, 

 has been appointed instructor in agriculture. 



Alaska Station. — Fred E. Rader, who has been an assistant at the Sitka Station 

 since the spring of 1900, assumed charge of the station at Rampart July 1. For want 

 of means this station has never been equipped, although Isaac Jones was stationed 

 there from August, 1900, to September, 1901. He cleared a patch of ground and suc- 

 cessfully raised winter rye, barley, oats, ami hardy vegetables. When he resigned in 

 1901 the funds did not admit of putting another man in his place, but now that the 

 most necessary pioneer work has been done at the other stations, the Rampart Sta- 

 tion will be equipped with implements. Land will be cleared, a house built, and a 

 determined effort will be made to show what the agricultural capabilities are in that 

 region. The station is located in latitude 65° 30', and is probably the most northern 

 agricultural experiment station in the world. 



Arizona Station. — V. A. Clark, recently assistant in horticulture at the New York 

 State Station, has been elected horticulturist to the Arizona Station, and will be 

 located on the station farm at Phoenix.

 keeping in the college, has been elected to succeed C. L. Newman, agriculturist in the 

 college and station, who has severed his connection with that institution. 



California University and Station. — C. W. Woodworth has been promoted from 

 assistant professor to associate professor of entomology. C. M. Haring has been 

 appointed instructor in veterinary science and bacteriology. F. T. Bioletti, formerly 

 of this station, and now of the Elsenburg School of Agriculture, Cape Colony, has 

 been appointed assistant professor and viticulturist, vice E. H. Twight, resigned. 



Colorado College. — According to press reports, the college has purchased what is 

 known as the "Model Colorado Farm,*' adjacent to the college grounds, to be used 

 for extending the work of the college and station. The farm comprises 80 acres of 

 land, and the price paid is reported as S26,000. 



Connecticut College and State Station. — Owing to the large number of applicants for 

 admission to the Connecticut Agricultural ( 'ollege, a press bulletin has been issued 

 by this institution announcing the discontinuance of the customary August entrance 

 examinations at Hartford, New Haven, Danbury, and Norwich. Already more stu- 

 dents than can be accommodated in the dormitories of the institution have qualified 

 for entrance on the opening of the fall term, September 21. Alfred Akerman suc- 

 ceeded Walter Mulford as station forester on July 1.

 of June, the resignations of T. H. Taliaferro, president and director, H. A. Gossard,
