problems in the investigations on Texas fever and to the development 

 of horticultural interests, especially truck farming in the southern 

 part of the State. The college and station have succeeded in enlisting 

 the cordial support of farmers, stockmen, and horticulturists. Tn 

 Jul} 7 of this year the annual session of the Texas Farmers' Congress, 

 of which Director Connell is president, was held at the college. It was 

 attended by about 450 delegates, representing the following 12 associa- 

 tions: State Horticultural Society, Texas Jersey Cattle Club, Texas 

 Dairymen's Association, Texas Cotton Growers' Association, Texas 

 Live Stock Association, Texas Truck Growers' Association, Texas 

 Floral Association, South Texas Truck and Fruit Growers' Association, 

 Central Texas Beekeepers' Association, Texas Poultry, Pigeon, and 

 Pet Stock Association, Texas Nurserymen's Association, and the 

 Women's Industrial Section. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the 

 work of the station, favoring the establishment of more substations, 

 and urging the organization of farmers' institutes in all parts of the 

 State. In this and other ways it is evident that the work of the sta- 

 tion is making a strong impression on the farmers of the State, and, 

 with its improved facilities and enlarged resources, the outlook for its 

 greater usefulness is very promising.
