WORK UNDER THE ADAMS FUND 
During the past year the experiment station has received 
through what is known as the Adams Act $3,500. Our 
receipts from this fund will increase $1,000 per year until we 
finally receive $7,500 ‘per year. 
Only original, scientific, experiment work can be con- 
ducted under the benefits of this fund. At present we are 
devoting the entire fund to work along the lines of dairy 
bacteriology, soft cheese investigations in co-operation with 
the Department of Agriculture, and work in plant breeding 
especially with beans and sweet corn. All of these lines of 
work have been approved by the Office of Experiment Sta- 
tions, at Washington. The exclusive use of the Adams fund 
for this work has released certain other funds which has 
enabled us to strengthen the other departments of station 
work. We must, however, depend upon state aid for build- 
ings and repairs, and for any extension work that may be 
done throughout the state.
