HOLMES HAIvL. 

 • As described in the annual report for 1905, a north wing was 

 added to Holmes Hall for the use of the College of Agriculture. 

 \\'ith the increased appropriation, the Experiment Station 

 needed added room, and the University has turned this wing 

 over for the permanent use of the Station. 



The west room on the first floor of the north wing will be 

 used for the work in breeding. The east room on that floor is 

 used by the Vegetable Pathologist. A laboratory and incubator 

 room for the Vegetable Pathologist has been fitted up in the 

 northeast corner of the basement. 



The west room on the second floor is being used by the Ento- 

 mologist and as a nucleus of a museum; and the east room on 

 the second floor is occupied by the Pomologist. The former 

 office of the Professor of Agriculture has been added to the 

 general offices of the Experiment Station. 



The former office of the chemist has been changed into a 

 nitrogen laboratory, and the office of the veterinarian is being 

 changed into a chemical laboratory. A hallway has been built 

 across the rear of the former nitrogen laboratory and the west 

 room in the wing so that the north and west entrances are now 

 connected bv hallwav.
