Report of the Director. 

During the past year the work of the Storrs Agricultural 
Experiment Station has proceeded along the same general 
lines as outlined in the report for the year ending June 30, 
1904. ‘There have been no radical changes in the policy of the 
Station and but few in the lines of the work taken up. We 
believe that as a matter of Station policy it is well to confine 
our experiments toa few definite lines, and in these lines to do 
thorough work until we have completed the investigations. 
CHANGHS IN THH STATION STAFF. 
We have been especially fortunate during the past year in 
that we have not been compelled to make many changes in the 
working staff. Professor F. H. Stoneburn resigned his position 
as poultryman in College and Station, and the position has been 
filled by the appointment of Professor C. K. Graham. 
Mr. A. W. Bosworth, who was engaged by the Department 
of Agriculture in our cooperative cheese investigations, resigned 
his position as chemist and has been succeeded by Mr. Arthur 
Meo Ox 
COOPERATION WITH THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
Our work in cooperation with the United States Department 
of Agriculture has continued satisfactorily during the year. 
The special problems in the investigation of the manufacture 
of soft cheese are so difficult in their nature that some time 
certainly must elapse before we are able to reach definite con- 
clusions. Consequently the progress of this work will be 
apparently slow. In spite of this fact definite advance has been 
made during the year. A preliminary bulletin has been pub- 
lished upon the subject of ‘‘The Camembert Type of Soft 
Cheese in the United States,’’ and other bulletins on the same 
general subject are in course of preparation.
