REPORT OF THE 
DIRECTOR OF THE EXPERIMENT 
STATION. 
To the President of the Board of Regents: 
I have the honor to transmit herewith the eleventh annual 
report of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the Univer- 
sity of Minnesota, in accordance with the act of congress of 
March 2, 1887, establishing the station, giving somewhat in 
detail the work accomplished here, and at the farm of O. C. 
Gregg, superintendent of the Farmers’ Institute of Minnesota, 
near Lynd, Lyon county; also of the stations established by 
an act of the legislature in 1895—one located near Crookston 
and one near Grand Rapids. This report includes bulletins 
77, 78, 79, 80, 8t and 82, published during the government 
fiscal year, July 1, 1902, to June 30, 1903, inclusive; and a 
full account of the disposition of the annual appropriation from 
the U. S. government, as well as of the amount received from 
the current expense fund of the University. 
In carrying on the experiment work the Hatch fund of 
$15,000, received from the United States government, has been 
supplemented by $33,882.06 from the current fund of the Uni- 
versity. Following this report is a financial statement of the 
Northeast and Northwest farms that are maintained by special 
appropriations made by the legislature.
