form are sent to the newspapers and farm journals. A total of 34 of these 

 articles in addition to the regular extension series was issued during the past 

 fiscal year. There has been a generous attitude on the part of most of the 

 papers in the state to these reports ; and the importance of service to the agri- 

 cultural interests of the state is quite generally recognized by the press. 

 Xew Legislation, Personnel and Equipment. 



The New Hampshire Legislature of 1921 included in its appropriation 

 to the State College a special appropriation as follows: "for agricultural 

 research work $5,000.00 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, and $7,000.00 

 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923." This is the first appropriation 

 to the Station for research work in the history of the institution. 



There have been no changes in personnel since our last report except in 

 the entomology department, from which C. R. Cleveland, assistant ento- 

 mologist, resigned at the close of the fiscal year to take up research work at 

 Purdue University. P. R. Lowry of the Ohio State University, has been 

 appointed assistant entomologist in his place. 



Apparatus added to the Station inventory during the past year includes 

 a Leeds and Xorthrup equipment for determining the hydrogenion 

 concentration by the gas chain method; an electric vacuum oven; a Millionaire 

 calculating machine; a standard telescope and scale; and a Potter freezing 

 apparatus, with which materials may be frozen at any automatically con- 

 trolled rate. Electric heaters have been installed for making the diges- 

 tions and distillations in connection with the nitrogen determinations, and 

 an electric water bath with temperature control to 0.1 °C. has been con- 

 structed. 



The financial statement for the year is given in the following pages.
