BULLETIN 151. 



REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 



To the President New Hampshire College, 



Dear Sir: I herewith submit the following report of the work of the Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station of the New Hampshire College for the biennial 

 period from November 1, 1908, to November 1, 1910, together with the fiscal 

 report for the years ending June 30, 1909, and June 30, 1910. 



Changes in Staff. 



There have been three changes in the heads of departments during the period 

 covered by this report and one of these had to do with the administrative 

 affairs of the station. 



Prof. E. D. Sanderson, director and entomologist, gave up his duties as 

 director January 1, 1910, but continued to act as entomologist until his resig- 

 nation September 1, when Mr. W. C. O'Kane, assistant entomologist, was 

 placed in charge of the department. 



Prof. Fred W. Morse, vice-director and chemist, who had been connected 

 with the college and station for some twenty-one years, severed his connections 

 with the institution September 1, 1909. Mr. Bert E. Curry, associate chemist, 

 was made acting chemist and on September 1, 1910, chemist. 



Prof. W. H. Pew, animal husbandman, resigned September 1, 1909, to take 

 up the position of assistant professor of animal husbandry at the Iowa State 

 College. Mr. T. R. Arkell, an '08 graduate from Toronto University, engaged 

 as associate editor of the Canadian Farm, was appointed September 1, 1909, 

 animal husbandman to the station. 



Other changes that have taken place during the past two years among the 

 station workers will be noted later in the departmental reports. 



Administration. 



Since the writer has been in charge of the administrative affairs of the station 

 only a few weeks, he will not undertake to discuss in this report the work of the 

 station during the past two j^ears, but will depend upon the station staff to 

 present in their departmental reports the main lines of station activity, progress 

 made and some of the value and bearing it has on the agricultural interests of 

 the state. 



The business organization of the New Hampshire Station is in excellent 

 shape and reflects credit upon the stewardship of the former director. The 

 station st a IT comprises well-qualified, earnest, hard-working men who are 

 devoting their best and entire energies to their duties. The station is appar- 

 ently in a position where it can and will accomplish even more efficient service 

 than ever before. 



The policy of the station will be to decrease rather than to increase the 

 number of project- that are undertaken in the different departments, even 

 though there are many problems that are known to exist and that are being 

 continually brought to our attention as being worthy of consideral ion. We are 

 compelled to adopt this plan because we feel that the undertaking of more
