potatoes and 29 of tomatoes tested during the season. The report of 

 the agriculturist includes a summary of the record of the college dairy 

 herd during the year. The report of the bacteriologist gives notes on 

 the decay of apples, with the results of experiments in cold storage, 

 and a record of silo temperatures taken by electricity, with a descrip- 

 tion of the apparatus used. A subject list of station publications 

 available for distribution and a summary of meteorological observa- 

 tions complete the report. 



GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



The efforts of the New Hampshire Station are directed toward the 

 improvement of agricultural practice in that State. Farms are old, 

 hence the importance of fertilizer investigations, tests of methods of 

 renovating old orchards, and the experiments in the improvement of 

 old meadows taken up in cooperation with farmers. Apples, strawber- 

 ries, potatoes, hay, dairy products, and garden truck are staple prod- 

 ucts, and their culture and improvement hold leading positions among 

 the subjects for investigation at the station. The transfer of part of 

 the inspection work to the State Laboratory of Hygiene relieves the 

 station staff of burdensome duties. The station was seriously crippled 

 in its work during the summer by the resignation of the agriculturist 

 and his two assistants, as well as by other staff changes. Several 

 series of experiments covering a term of years have, however, been 

 completed, and it is hoped that the results will be published before long.
