The Farmers’ Institute Bulletin. 
In addition to the above regular bulletins there was prepared by 
_ the director, at the request of George T. Powell, director of the 
farmers’ institutes, an address upon the subject, “What is the 
New York Agricultural Experiment Station doing for the 
Rarmer?” which address was delivered at the institute held at 
Auburn, and was afterwards printed and distributed widely at 
the remaining institutes held about the State. 
| ‘The result of such distribution has been manifest in a very great 
increase in the requests of the farmers for copies of those bulletins 
and reports which contained information concerning matters of 
- special interest to them, and in certain cases appears to have been 
the first evidence to many of our farmers that such an 
institution as the New York Agricultural Experiment Station — 
existed. 
It has appeared desirable, therefore, to reproduce this bulletin 
. , in order that our farmers may know what work is being done in 
their behalf and that they may avail themselves of whatever of 
eB benefit there is to them in these investigations continued now for 
__ the past twelve years.
