36 HATCH EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



of the United States. A phenological record was also kept 

 dui-ing the growing season, and two copies furnished the 

 section director as requested. 



As a part of the college exhibit for the Louisiana Purchase 

 Exposition at St. Louis, this division prepared a number of 

 charts in water colors, showing many of the meteorological 

 features of the station. Photographs of most of our self- 

 recording instruments were also sent. 



Two new clocks for the Draper instruments were pur- 

 chased during the year, to replace others that had become 

 unreliable. 



Mr. F. F. Henshaw retired as observer upon his graduation 

 in June, and was succeeded by the assistant observer, Mr. 

 G. W. Patch.
