REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 13 
_ this country of the type of the Roquefort and Camembert is im- 
ported. Could this cheese be manufactured by our dairymen, 
it would not only supply an ever increasing demand, but it 
would establish a new industry in New England and furnish a 
profitable market for any surplus milk. So important is this 
line of work, that we have secured the cooperation of the Dairy 
Division of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. We acknowledge here valuable 
aid received from Major Alvord, Chief of the Dairy Division, 
and from Dr. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, 
and from Secretary Wilson, through whose active interest in 
this work we have been able to continue our experiments. 
NUTRITION INVESTIGATIONS. 
The Station retains its relations with Dr. W. O. Atwater, 
and the nutrition investigations which have formed a large and 
important part of the Station work since its organization are 
still conducted at Middletown, in the laboratories of Wesleyan 
University. While the amount of money which the Station 
can devote to this work is not as great as we could wish, yet 
one-half of the state appropriation of $1,800 is given to Dr. 
Atwater to aid in his investigations. The results secured are 
far in excess of what could be secured by the Station without 
cooperation. While the results of this nutrition investigation 
may not appeal to the Connecticut farmer as being of special 
value to him, yet these investigations are most far reaching in 
their effects, and may result in economies in the use of food 
which will be of direct and specific importance in the most 
humble home. 
PUBLICATIONS: 
The printing of the bulletins and reports of the Station is 
provided for by the state of Connecticut. Acknowledgment is 
due Comptroller W. E. Seeley for permission to'increase some- 
what the size of our editions. The demand for our bulletins 
has become so great that we have been compelled in some cases 
to publish a second edition. Weare now enabled to increase 
our editions from eight thousand to ten thousand copies; but at 
the present rate of increase in the demand for our bulletins 
the time is not far distant when even larger editions will be 
- necessary.
