Project 11. "Determination of the chemical composition, 

 digestibility and feeding value of kiln dried apple pomace." 



Professor Lindsey and Assistant Professor Archibald. 



This project has been completed and results published as 

 Bulletin Xo. 205 of the Experiment Station. 



Project 12. "Attempting to improve the nutritive value of 

 grain hulls." 



Professor Lindsey and Assistant Professor Archibald. 



There has been considerable activity on this project. Data 

 concerning the effect of chemical treatment on oat hulls and 

 rice hulls have been obtained. It is expected to do further 

 work with cottonseed hulls, barley hulls and flax shives. In 

 view of the large amount of these products now produced in 

 the milling industry of the country, and the extent to which 

 such products are used in ]\Iassachusetts agriculture, the eco- 

 nomic significance of the project is apparent. 



Animal Feeding.

Project 10. "Experiments in feeding pigs." 



Professor Lindsey and Assistant Professor Archibald. 



Work on this project was confined to the taking of records 

 on feeding of different amounts of semi-solid and dried butter- 

 milk. Results indicate these materials to be uneconomical 

 when used for pork j)ro<luction. 



Project 10. "Vitamines as aids in the production of growth 

 in pigs." 



Professor Lindsey. 



This investigation was undertaken the past season in co- 

 operation with the Department of Animal Husbandry. The 

 work was under the immediate oversight of a graduate student, 

 with expectation that it would form a part of a thesis for 

 advanced degree. The use of green feed, either because of its
