Annual Reports, 1899 and 1900, pp. 9Jf. — Reports of the director 

 and heads of departments reviewing the different lines of station work 

 and financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1899 and 

 1900; also notes on the discovery of a deposit of bat guano in the Ter- 

 ritory; list of publications of the entomologist, and reports of the 

 superintendents of the San Juan and Las Vegas substations outlining 

 work in progress. 



GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



The work of the New Mexico Station is assuming more definite form 

 and is better planned. Its scope has been considerably extended, 

 especially with reference to irrigation investigations and stock raising. 

 In order to better understand the conditions of soil, water supply, 

 timber and grazing interests of New Mexico, tours of inspection have 

 been made to the southern and southeastern parts of the Territory. 

 The difficulties of making satisfactory progress in studies on soil mois- 

 ture and irrigation have been surmounted, it is hoped, by the construc- 

 tion of a windmill pumping plant with tank and storage reservoir. In 

 this connection plans have been made for a thorough investigation of 

 the best methods of irrigating from wells. The work of the station is 

 better organized and in better condition than ever before, but the 

 uncertainty regarding the head of the institution during several months 

 of the summer and autumn, and the limited tenure of office of the men 

 in charge of the work, has seriously interfered with its vigorous 

 prosecution.
