New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. T 
Continuation of fertilizer experiments with corn on plats. 
Routine work, involving the superintendence of labor on the 
farm and plats, etc., 
The clerk and stenographer (Mr. Newton) has had his Hite 
more than filled by the increased correspondence of the Station, 
the mailing of bulletins and other publications referred to else- 
where in this report, labor involved in the entire charge of the 
bills, and the regular routine work of the office. 
The following statement of the number of letters written, of 
which copies have been kept, will show the increase in the 
correspondence of the Station since its establishment :

The bulletin list has rapidly increased and almost entirely 
through personal application of the farmers, and without effort 
thus far by the Station, although it is most desirable that such 
effort should be made ; so soon as the means are provided for the 
printing and distributing of a much larger edition. 
Sometimes from fifty to seventy-five names have been added to 
the bulletin list in a single day, and the increase during the last 
nine days, January 1-10, has been 100. During the past year the 
number of names added to the list has been equal to those of the 
first eight years. At present there are 5,500 names on the bulletin
