and giving briefly some of the results obtained, including miscella-

Annual Report, 1900, pp. 32. — A report of the director, a financial 

 statement for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, outlines of station 

 work by the heads of departments, and results of cooperative 

 experiments with sorghum. 



GENERAL OUTLOOK. 



The station is wisely directing considerable effort to the develop- 

 ment of means for advancing the important fruit interests of the 

 State. The utilization of secondary fruit products is an important 

 factor for the fruit grower to consider, and is well worthy the atten- 

 tion of the station workers. The efforts of the station to introduce 

 stock raising and dairying as a means for diversifying farm operations 

 in the grain-producing sections are also praiseworthy and have met 

 with encouraging results. The station is making a vigorous cam- 

 paign against summer fallowing and is trying, with considerable suc- 

 cess, to introduce the growing of legumes to improve soils. Much of 

 the station work is being vigorously and intelligently carried on and 

 the institution is growing in public favor. The college with which it 

 is connected has recognized the increasing importance of its investi- 

 gations by releasing several members of the staff from all college 

 work, and the prospect for good work in the future is very promising. 

 The division of dairying should have an equipment better adapted to 

 station purposes, to the end that a larger amount of investigation in 

 this line may be conducted. The offices of president of the college 

 and director of the station have recently been separated.
