DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY. Ill 



additional reason why this Bureau should have the supervision of the 

 work and its preparation for publication. 



CONCLUSION. 



In closing this part of the report, I desire to call your attention to 

 the fact that the Bureau of Chemistry is now organically connected 

 not only with other Bureaus and Divisions of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, but with at least three of the great Departments of the Gov- 

 ernment. Its work is of the utmost practical importance to the farmer 

 and to the public at large. It should receive generous support at the 

 hands of Congress, and the estimates submitted are as modest as is 

 consistent with the actual work which the Bureau will be called upon 

 to do during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903.
