REPOET OF THE YICE-DIRECTOR. 



Fred W. Morse. 



The working year of the Agricultural Experiment Station has 

 been fixed to include the time between November 1 and October 

 31, in order to comply with the statutes governing the annual 

 reports of state institutions. The financial year covers the 

 period from July 1 to June 30, to conform to the fiscal year of 

 the national government, from which the Station receives its 

 funds. 



During ten months of the year just closed, viz., from Novem- 

 ber 1, 1902, to September 1, 1903, the Agricultural Experiment 

 Station was in charge of the vice-director and chemist. During 

 the spring and summer, he was also obliged to assume charge 

 of the agricultural department, owing to the resignation in 

 March of the agriculturist, Prof. Harry Hayward, who was 

 appointed assistant chief of the dairy division, United States 

 department of agriculture.
