four different sections or divisions, and try each one of 

 these divisions in a different way. These experiments, 

 you can see, will be of great benefit to the individual fruit 

 grower on whose farm the experiment is to be conducted. 

 They will not necessarily be of any value to the man who 

 owns the next farm, but they will be of use to individuals, 

 and they will also be of use, if we have a large number of 

 them, because by comparing results from a large number 

 of them, we will be able to throw considerable light on 

 many general questions of apple growing. 



I do not believe there is anything else that I need to 

 say at this time. This subject has been very thoroughly 

 treated in what President Beach has said but if there are 

 any questions pertaining to the details of the plan as out- 

 lined, I will be very glad to answer. 



President Gold : Dr. Jenkins, Director of the Connec- 

 ticut Experiment Station, at New Haven, is here, and we 

 would like to hear a few words from him. 



Dr. Jenkins : Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : 

 I will not detain you by any extended remarks because the 

 plan of operation has been so fully and so well described 

 that nothing more on that question is necessary. I want 

 to say, however, that the Station at New Haven, and I 

 am sure also the Station at Storrs, enters most heartily 

 into this plan of cooperation, and we want it understood 

 through the state that the two Stations and the Agricul- 

 tural College in this matter, and in other matters, are 

 standing together. They have stood together, and they 

 propose to stand together, and to work in entire harmony, 

 because there is plenty of work for us all to do. The only 

 thing that could occur would be that we might in some 

 way, unintentionally, tread on each other's toes, but we 

 intend to avoid that. 



Now the work which has been outlined, it seems to 

 me, covers the ground, because it is my belief that work 

 of instruction is work which properly belongs to the Agri-
