treasurer, and heads of departments. Appendix I is made up of 

 reprints of Bulletins 171-182 of the station. Appendix II gives a 

 detailed statement of receipts and expenditures of the station for the 

 fiscal year ended June 30, 1900. Appendix III contains reprints of 

 publications on nature study. 



GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



Many of the important crops of the State are being studied by the 

 station, especially from the point of view of field practice, as best 

 suited to the different sections of the State, and special attention is 

 being given to bringing the results of experimental work home to the 

 farmer through the extensive system of cooperative experiments ren- 

 dered possible by the State appropriation. The college with which 

 the station is connected continues to be active in university-extension 

 work in agriculture and in the effort to introduce nature study in the 

 rural schools. The publication of the Nature Study Quarterly has 

 been suspended, but the Junior Naturalist Monthly and the Reading 

 Lessons for Farmers have been continued, and the publication of 

 Reading Lessons for Farmers' Wives has been started. Both the 

 cooperative experiments and the university-extension work have aided 

 in bringing about the most cordial relations between the station and 

 the people of the State, and this condition has been very helpful to the 

 station, not only in facilitating the dissemination of information but 

 also in furnishing an easy and reliable means of learning what the 

 station can do for the farmer along investigational lines.
