Total brought forward $60,500 



For fertilizer inspection (from license fees).... $ro,ooo 

 For feeding stuff inspection (from license fees). 3.500 



For inspection i3' 5oo 



Total $74' 000 



For building for storage farm machinery and grain... $4,500 



The above estimates are carefully made upon the basis of present 

 needs, without allowing for much growth. The sum asked for out- 

 side of inspection work is $2,500 more than the Station has been 

 receiving for the last four years but is $7,500 less than the sum ap- 

 propriated for several years previous to 1899 from money raised by 

 taxation. The sum named for feeding stuff inspection is increased 

 by $1,000. The receipts from license fees justify this and the addi- 

 tional sum can be well used. 



The building for farm machinery and grain is certainly a real 

 need. The farm machinery is now scattered in out of the way places, 

 partly outside of the Station grounds, and during the working season 

 it cannot be housed if kept where it is convenient for use.
