REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF 

 AGRONOMY. 



F. W. TAYLOR. 



I. ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT. 



The principal change in the organization of this department since the last 

 hiennial report resulted from the administrative change in the management 

 of the college farm beginning July 1, 1909. By the new arrangement the 

 college farm is run as a commercial proposition under the direct supervision 

 of a college farmer, thus relieving the station agronomist and animal husband- 

 man of the managerial activities formerly necessitated by that work. 



The following letter addressed to the director of the station, at his request, 

 sets forth the records of the farm and agronomy department since the writer's 

 connection with the institution. 



Durham, N. H., June 1st, 1909. 

 To E. D. Sanderson, Director, 



New Hampshire Experiment Station, 



as Superintendent of New Hampshire College Farm. 



Dear Sir: — I have the honor to transmit herewith a summarized report 



of the crops, finances and permanent improvements of the New Hampshire 



College Farm from September first, 1903, to May first, 1909. 



I'. W Taylor, Agronomist, 

 as Manager of N. //. College Farm.
