REPORT OF THE TREASURER. 



The Station is a department of the University and its 

 accounts are kept in the office of the Treasurer of the University. 

 The books, voucher files, etc., are, however, all distinct from 

 those of the other departments of the University. The classi- 

 fication of accounts is that prescribed by the auditors on the 

 part of the Federal Government, and approved by the State 

 Auditor. All of the accounts are audited by the State Auditor, 

 and the Hatch Fund and Adams Fund accounts are also audited 

 by the Office of Experiment Stations acting for the United 

 States Secretary of Agriculture in accordance with Federal 

 Law. 



The income of the Station from public sources for the year 

 that ended June 30, 1917, was: 



U. S. Government, Hatch Fund appropriation $15,000 00 



U. S. Government, Adams Fund appropriation 15,000 00 



State of Maine, Animal Husbandry investigation 



appropriation 5,ooo 00 



State of Maine, Aroostook Farm investigation 5,000 00 



The cost of maintaining the laboratories for the inspection 

 analyses is borne by analysis fees and by the State Department 

 of Agriculture. The income from sales at the experiment farms 

 is used for the expense of investigations. The printing is paid 

 for by an appropriation to the University.
