LINES OF WORK. 



At the Georgia Station the work of the past year has been mostly 

 along the same lines as in former years, including variety, fertil- 

 izer, and culture experiments with corn, cotton, fruits, and vegetables; 

 feeding experiments and dairy work, and study of remedies for crown 

 knot, brown rot, and other plant diseases. Considerable attention has 

 been given to experiments in spraying, with special reference to the 

 more general use of this practice in Georgia. Following tests of a large 

 number of varieties of grapes, a new vineyard is being established to 

 include only those varieties found to be desirable for Georgia, and 

 with a view to restricting the work of the station hereafter chiefly to 

 experiments with these varieties. The station has cooperated with 

 this Department in experiments on grasses, races of peaches, fertil- 

 izers for melons in southern Georgia, and the spraying of peaches in 

 western Georgia. During the year a new plant house has been com- 

 pleted. A. L. Quaintance, biologist and horticulturist, has recently 

 resigned to accept the position of entomologist in the Maryland Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station, and has been succeeded by S. H. Fulton, 

 formerly superintendent of the South Haven, Mich., substation.
