No. 4.] WORK OF COLLEGE AND STATION. 211 



Professor Brooks. To some extent. 



Mr. Moore. Did they employ students to carry on the 

 engineering in the tile draining? 



Professor Brooks. Yes, the work has been done entirely 

 by the students ; and I have students now employed under 

 the labor fund in making a careful survey of the whole estate 

 and mapping it. 



President Goodell. How many miles of tile drain were 

 made by students? 



Professor Brooks. We have something like ten miles, 

 done within the last three or four years. 



The Chairman. Gentlemen, we must pass on to the next 

 subject, as the time is going fast, — the " Work of the State 

 Agricultural Experiment Station." We have a gentleman 

 with us who is very familiar with that subject, and I take 

 pleasure in introducing to you Dr. C. A. Goessmann, director 

 of the Massachusetts State Agricultural Experiment Station.
