GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



The Tuskegee Station has continued field and feeding experiments of 

 a nature that will be of immediate practical benefit to the colored peo- 

 ple of the South who come in contact with the work. Once a month 

 the staff conducts a farmers' conference, where problems relating to 

 the farm, stock, garden, orchard, and kindred subjects are discussed 

 by the staff and by farmers, who come often a distance of 15 miles. 

 The station also issues nature-study leaflets to teachers who will use 

 them and keep up children's gardens in connection with their schools.
