All those interf >ted in the Expe

work with cattle and dairy interests,
other investigations will shortly be
commenced which we are sure will
be'acceptable to our people. These
additional investigations will be pos
sible by rea-on uf the Stations re
eoiving the benefit of the Hatch
°
Funds from tho V. S-, and will em- t
brace Botanical and Entomological
investigations under the charge* of
experienced specialists. The Botan
ical work will include the examina
tion of seeds on sale in the St at« .
for it should be the duty of the Sta
tion to protect the farmers against
adulterated seeds as well as adulter- i
tcrated fertilizers, for it will be easi
ly seen that one can be. practised as
well as the other if care is not taken
to prevent it.
A similar work is annouueed in
connection with injurious insects,
and tlx ir ravages, remedies for ,
their prevention. Also identifica
tion ot these insects when sent to .
