The various Experiment Stations have 

 proved a great stimulus to the increase 

 and success of these structures, by means 

 of scientific investigations diligently 

 pursued, the results of which are given 

 by publications, many of which being 

 well written, prove satisfactory, practical 

 guides. 



In contending with the various insects 

 and diseases which have so rapidly in-
