CONCLUSION 



In dealing in this hasty way with such a variety of topics in an 

 attempt to cover the ground, I realize that this discussion must read 

 somewhat like a dictionary. I also fully recognize the fact that I 

 have been unable to do justice to many of the topics mentioned; and 

 further, that injustice has been done in the omission of many topics 

 that might have been mentioned. The particular points mentioned 

 were selected largely to serve as illustrations. Another person would 

 doubtless have selected other points for mention. Therefore no one 

 should infer that this brief review is intended to be a perfect epitome 

 of the Experiment Station's most valuable work. 



It is unfortunate that we have no very satisfactory device for 

 measuring, either in terms of bushels or of dollars, the tremendous re- 

 turns resulting from these investigations. Stories of this kind are 

 usually made more interesting by translating into terms of millions 

 of dollars. Having at hand in most cases no sound basis for such a 

 translation, I have necessarily been contented in setting forth the 

 economic value of these investigations in rather general terms. 



If in this hasty review there has been left a general impression of 

 the nature and the scope of the Experiment Station work, during its 

 thirty-four years of existence, the purpose will have been accomplished.
