This 75th anniversary year of the University of Xew 

 Hampshire in 1940-41 provides an excellent time for the Xew 

 Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station to pause and to 

 take stock of itself and of its work and growth in the past, in 

 order to take a firmer hold on the work looming up in the 

 future. One of the longest continued and basic studies of the 

 agricultural experiment station at the University is now 

 nearing completion, and the anniversary has been accepted 

 as a fitting time to explain publicly something of this piece 

 of work, its purpose, and its value to agriculture.
