farmer. The erection of a suitable dwelling house for the farm 

 superintendent is provided for by money raised by the citizens 

 of Presque Isle. 



The Station came into possession of the farm late in Decem- 

 ber 191 3, and work was begun in the season of 19 14. 



High MOOR Farm. 

 Highmoor Farm, purchased by the State for the use of the 

 Station, is located in the town of Monmouth, 21-2 miles from 

 the Monmouth station and the same distance from the Leeds 

 Junction station. It is on the Farmington branch of the Maine 

 Central Railroad. A flag station, called Highmoor, is on the 

 farm. Monmouth is the post, telegraph and telephone address 

 for Highmoor Farm. Both Leeds Junction and Monmouth are 

 freight and express addresses. 



The Aim of the Station. 



Every citizen of Maine concerned in agriculture has the right 

 to apply to the Station for any assistance that comes within 

 its province. It is the wish of the Trustees and Station Council 

 that the Station be as widely useful as its resources will permit. 



In addition to its work of investigation, the Station is pre- 

 pared to make chemical analyses of fertilizers, feeding stuiTs, 

 dairy products and other agricultural materials ; to test seed^ 

 and creamery glassware; to identify grasses, weeds, injurious 

 fungi and insects, etc. ; and to give information on agricultural 

 matters of interest and advantage to the citizens of the State. 



All work proper to the Experiment Station and of public 

 benefit will be done without charge. Work for the private use 

 of individuals is charged for at the actual cost to the Station. 

 The Station offers to do this work only as a matter of accom 

 modation. Under no condition will the Station undertake 

 analyses, the results of which cannot be published, if they prove 

 of general interest. 



Correspondence. 

 As far as practicable, letters are answered the day they are 

 received. Letters sent to individual officers are liable to remain 

 unanswered, in case the officer addressed is absent. All com- 

 munications should, therefore, be addressed to the Director or 

 to the Agricultural Experiment Station, 



Orono, Maine.
