New YorK AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 9 
by all friends of the Station as giving evidence of a spirit of con- 
fidence in our institution. The various funds that were appro- 
priated for the maintenance of the Station during the fiscal year 
beginning October 1, 1906, were as follows:

By action of your Board the Legislature is to be asked to appro- 
priate the same sums for the fiscal year beginning October I, 1907. 
While larger amounts of money could be efficiently and profitably 
used, it is telt that the constituency of the Station should be given 
convincing evidence that the increase with which we have just 
been favored is being used to good advantage before asking for 
any further endowment.
