DIVISION .OF AGRICULTURE. 
In’ 1903 the weather conditions were not so favorable 
as usual for field and crop experiments. Storms during and 
after harvest made it very difficult to properly save part of 
the grain and forage crops under experiment. Chinch-bugs 
very seriously interfered with the breeding nursery, and with 
field variety tests of spring wheats, also with the wheat experi- 
ments on the general theory of breeding. The cold, wet sea- 
son and the early frosts resulted in loss in some of the experi- 
ments with corn, but in some ways assisted in the selection 
of corn suited to our northern conditions. On the whole, the 
work with breeding, farm management, statistical investiga- 
tions and devising new methods of teaching farm management, 
and of cooperative breeding is progressing most satisfactorily.
