Maintenance. 



There has been no change during the past year in the sources 

 of revenue supporting the various lines of work of the experi- 

 ment station. The appropriation for general expenses from the 

 State, in accordance with the provisions of the Acts of 1912, 

 has been S5,000 greater than in the previous fiscal year. There 

 has been a large increase in the receipts from the sales of fruit 

 from the Graves' orchard. On the other hand, there has been 

 a falling off of practically S1,000 in the receipts from analysis 

 fees under the fertilizer law. This falling off has undoubtedly 

 been due to the abnormal conditions created by the European 

 war. These conditions have resulted in an embargo on ex- 

 portation of potash from Germany. As there is at present no 

 other adequate source of supply the result has been a con- 

 siderable reduction in the number of brands of fertilizers offered 

 in our markets. 



The total revenues are shown in the following table: —
