b) The State Chemical and Bacteriological Institute 

 The State Analytical Laboratories 



The State Agronomic Station was instituted in 1871 by 

 the association for the institution of agricultural stations 

 in Belgium and taken over by the State in i883. 



Since the i5 th of June 1901 it has been called the State 

 Chemical and Bacteriological Institute. 



STATE CHEMICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GEMBLOUX 



The personnel of this institute includes : a Director, a 

 chief for the chemical service and one for the bacte- 

 riological service, assistants, a book-keeping clerk and 

 several attendants. 



As the Institute does not perform analyses for the public 

 and as those required by the technical services of the 

 Department of Agriculture are not paid for, it has to be 

 entirely maintained by the State.
