RE. liT W TH:<; PRESIDENT 0 THE BIiK'{ PJLY'l'E;SIINIC II bTITUTE TO TH BOAltD OF TRUSTEES
Gentlemen: -
I ha~ the honor to submit to the Board of Trustees of the lab
Institute report of the work of t he college for the y ar 1 12- 13 . The co tinued
pro perity of the institution has b en evidenced by the e cellent atten oe ~~ring
the yea , the general spirit of good work, and observa ce of the laws of th college
by the student boqy; which facts are a so ce of deep gratifi at'on t th friends of
the institution and thos interested in its wel fare and development . though the
college authorities last session advanced the requirement for admission by an entire
ye r 0 gh sc 001 preparation, the en ollment or the pres nt ar ha been 805 .
At the final examinations there are thirty (30) more students in attendance than at
the corresponding exanQnations last year, indicating better preparation, aswall as a
persevering purpose to secure an education . The Seni r Junior classes are t he
largest in the history of the institution. It is also r atif ' lg to ~ote that a
large number of students, being unable to pursue a full course, are entering with gr eat
interest upon the two-year courses in Agriculture, Mechanics, and Applied Electricity.
Attendance :
The attendance is distributed throughout t he entir tate of Alabama, sixty-fi ve
(65) counties being epresented. Some of the largest county delegations are as follows:
Lee 03; Jefferson 89; Montgomery 38 ; Wil ox 22; ~obile 19; s mbia 18; bb 16; Marengo

he app "' cation on the part of students to 3t-udy throughout t he year has: been highl
satisfactory; As I have remarked on f ormer occasi ons, there i s a not able spirit of
seriousness .,.le might say, f r of s sionalism on the part of . stUdents pursuing technical
studies . There is a feeli ng on their part t hat colleee work is immediately pertinent
o i fe -work, and this p actical view erts a highly steaQying infl uence an 6ives a
most notable z al and earnestness. Our udents, as a whole , are tru tworthy, industri.
ous, an ambi ious . In all yea s of de ali ng \·Ii th t hem I have ever found
th em keen y susceptible to ppe&l s t o what is best, and this sensi bility is , I t hi nk,
cne of the finest ~alities of a gOod citizen. Tho attendance a~ c asses is quite
r emarkable . Each pr of essor makes a daily report to the President 's office of all
absences f om ach reci tation . There are ovor fift professor nd instructors who
report on over 70C s tudents daily. In an a verag of fi vo assien d quti es 1 er st 'J.dent ,
maki n ~ a otal of over 3500 it roB ·in t e aily eports , t~ere i I s , t han 0 e per

ati ons i ncurri ng enal ies of dl smissal or susr epsion or droppin ' f om t he college
rolls . , .
Health
'r t ake pleasure in stati ng that the general condition of health t hroughout t he
ses on has been good . There has been some slight interruption frqm mumps a~d
rr ea gles but owi .g 0 the dilieence and skill of 0 r surgeon, these ep' arnics have
been confined within narrow limi ts . I ~" sh t o not that there has been no recurrence
o any fever mong the student body, demonstrating that the o~ tb eak ast year was
: mported . S nitar condi tions of t he co lege and the ccllege co~unity are suti -
fa ~t. ory . The water supply for dri nkine pur pose:; offered th roughou t he comrrr..m:i ty
by be ccllege syst m is excellent . T~e Town of Auburn has i nstalled an extended
s ~r steJ11 of sanitary s ewerage , which will promot e condi t i ons favorable to g"oocf health .

2. Th Morrill Fund (or t he a propriation of 1890) supplements the origina

Impr ovements :
From t i me to t i me t h oughout t he year J i mprovements .neces sary for the l.ID-ke p .
and development 0 the college pro erty have been made . Among t he more important ones
rna not ed th ext nsi on of the syst m of nitary cloa t a, the xtension of t he
private and' public elect ric lighting s stems i n t he communi y, the general nting
of -college roperty , and i mp~ovements on t he campus .of the gr!cultural b ng .
Wi reless Telegraph Station:
I beg leave t o call spec ' a1 attention to t he i nstalling of t he stat i on for wirel
ess t 1 gra hy . The college has come i nto ossassion of a f i rst-cl ss equipment fo
t his purpose through the generosi t of 1· . ' l l e Reece HutChinson, Orange, N. J . , a
former student in elect l cal engineering in thi Inst! t ution. Nr . ~Iut chi oson has
achi eved not only national but ' nternational di st inction in el ectrical engineeri ng
through his n rous notable invent i ns i n 1 ctri cal app 'anc e . He's now Ch' f
Engineer to Thomas A. dison . n has :w ys ept i n aff cti onate remembrance his Alma
Mater, . and ~r desire to make this special memorandum of his generous thoughtfulness of
the Institution.
Authorship .!?z. Professors:
I take pleasure in calling attention to t he several books published during the
year by members of the college staff. Prof . J . R. Rutland has issued a most excellent
edition o! Irving's Tales of a Traveler, which has been recognized ~n academic circles
as a scholarly commentary upon this piece of stqndard American literature. Prof. L.N.
Duncan has issued a notable series of farm readers adapted for use .in all schools
interested in rural life : The idea is entirely original and has been worked out in a
very striking fashion, h,aving attracted the attention of the entire educational world .
Prof . M. T. Fullan has issued a pamphlet upon t he construction of physical apparatus
f~r schools. ,In this connection, I wish to call attention to the work done in this
line by Prof. Fullan. His suggestion as to home-made physical apparatus constructed
by manual training cJ:asse's, together with the actual specimens which he exhibits, have
created a deep impression on the entire school system, especially in Alabama and Georgia .
Furthermore, his artistic productions in concrete and brass also illustrate the aesthetic
and useful end to which we may put the commonest materials. ,
Employment of Students:
Perhaps one of the most satisfactory evidences of the high quality of technical
traimng given by the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, is afforded by the great demand
in all quarters for Auburn men . It is impossible for the college to supply t he demand
for hi ghly trained men in every line in every line of industrial work. Within the last
few years, for instance, there has been remarkable growth in the dema~d for young men
trained in scientific agriculture. This demand is in governmental scientific work, in
state scientific work, in educational institutions , and in a large number of cases, in
active farming conducted for profit. Already many of the young men in our Senior Class
have been engaged for next year, as principals of county high schools, in di strict
agricultural"schools, in industrial plants like the General Electric Comp~ny, Schenectady
anti Lynn; the lilestinghouse Company, Pittsburgh; Tennessee Coal and ~ Iron Company, Birmingham;
etc ., etc ., in Horticultural work , dairying , and general farming . It is
gratifying also t o note t he high appreciation of the college exhibited by the entire
press of the state, both by the leading daily journals of t he cities and t he weekly
press of the rural r egions .
The ability of a young man t o capitalize his education, while it is not the whole
end of education, is, I think, a highly valuable end . 1hovs~ds of you~g ~e~ ' w~o ,
have gone out from Auburn are thus engaged in developing t he materi al resources of the
state that go to ameliorate the conditions of human life .
College -of Engineering and Mines : ,),
The college of Engi~eering and Mines includes the following divisions : (1)
Ci viI Engineering, (2) Electrical Engineering, (J) t1echanical Engineering, (4) Mining
Engiueering, (5)· Architecture, (6) ~chine Design, (7) Mechanical Drawing , (8) ~~nual
Training . It is well worth recalling from time to time the pl.oneer work of the
Institution, in all of these lines .
In 1873 ~hen I first attended the Institution , I did not know a young man in
the State of Alabama in polite society who had any acquaintance whats~ever with
engines .and machinery, their structure, metQods of operation and the principles that
govern them. Within this period it has been my privilege to see thousands of your
men instructed in these practical arts and fitted to multiply t~e actual physical
productive power of the state many thousand-fold . For instance , the gveatest ~ydroelect
rical development in Alabama and in the South was c9nceived ,and carried to a
successful issue with the moneyed interests by a young Alabama boy who seoured his
knowledge of t he transmission of electrical energy in the lecture room at Auburn .
The opportuni t y for training given him by the state has resulted in tne investment of
millions of forei gn capital in our borders, and in the potential development of other
millions in i ndustries for our home people . This is the rich incremen~ that comes to
any commonwealth for money invested in brains . Another striking instance is t hat of
t he management of one of the larges~ e~ec~ric tr~ction compa~es in Alabama by a
young man trained in the electrical department here , who in his first year for the
'company is ~eported to have saved $80,000.00 in fuel by means of his scientific
training and ideas .
There is perhaps no greater need in our industrial life in Alabama and in the
South than this mechanical sense, the ability to utilize machinery, to utilize the
power of steam and electricity, instead of mere human muscle and mule power . 'The
great prizes of modern industrial life are rewards of efficiency; that is; the maxi mum
production of things with the minimum amount of crude muscle; with tlie maximum
amount of machinery and mental alertness and skill .
As already indicated, .there are engaged in the group of engineering subjects
376 students, who are given instruction by seven full professors and fourteen instructors.
I wish to express my appreciation of the cordial cooperation of t he heads of these
departments in all forms of constructive work in connection with the institution .
Through their suggestions and careful planning, I am s~re that every dollar spent in
the way of permanent improvement in the Institution or in building operation, has done
the work of two .
Agricultural College:
The work 'of the college is divided into the foll9wing groups: (1) Agriculture
(field crops , cotton, corn, etc . ), (2) Annimal Industry, (3) Horticulture, (4)
Veterniary Science, (5) Botany, (6) Entomology, (7) Chemistry, ( ~ ) Plant Pat~ology .
Instruction is given to 345 students in this college by a staff of ei ght pro-
fessors and fifteen instructor~ . There has been q gr~tifying revival in interest
in agr i cult ural education i n our ~olleg e . Many o~ ou~ most talent ed , mature , and
serious students a~e entering into this field of ~duc~tion , and there are practical
reasons for the growth . Most notable is the ~nc r~ased demand for men thoroughly
trained in agricult~ral subjects. Agricultur e flas ~ndeed established itself as
a science . It would be sad indeed if men could not by application master the forces
that govern plants and govern animals . \'ithout t his ability, the limit of population
and of phy~i cal sustenance would be reached, but we know that ,the mastery of these
forces is being rapidly accomplished. Through an enormous mass of facts accurately
observed by trained experts in t~e experi~ent st ations of the United states, general
practices have been formulated, the skillful application of which means an enormously
increased production on the farm. Book farming is no longer sneered at, and I am
glad to say that there has been a universal recognition by the farming interests
throughout this state of the direct practical value of the results of experiments
conduct ed through forty years by our station . In the presence of that dread pest,
the boll we~vil, we shall need all the aid scientific skill and diversified farming
can possibly afford .
Experiment Station:
The Institution is not o~y an educational organization, but is also an organizat
ion for (1) investigat~ng the problems of ever~phase of farm life, and (2) conveying
that information as effectively as possible to the man of those who live on
the soil . Experimental work is conducted by the heads of each of the departments
enumerated above, and they tpus serve the Institution in ~ dual capacity: (1) as
teachers of agricultural subjects to the young ~n who attend the college, and (2)
as investigators of agri cultural problems and as disseJIlinators of this knowledge
among people who do not attend the Ins~itution . There is in each state such an experiment
station supported in part by national f~nds and by state fun~ , a grand
total of 48. And it is universally granted that the beneficial effects of these
stations on agriculture througPout the nat ion has been highly beneficial . A detailed
account of the ~ork done by the station is set forth in the two reports r efe~red to
above, which have been published and p~aced in the hands of each member of the Board
of Trustees , namely; The Twenty- fifth A~nual Report of the Agricultural Experiment
Sta ti on, Hatch and Adams Fu,nds , January 31st, 1913. (2) Annual Report of the Director
of the Experiment St ation on Work Done under the ~cal Experiment Law in 1912.

On this vast mass, of printed matter, it ,may be stated, that from the fund provided
under the local experiment law there were published in 1912 bulletins aggregating
294 pages, which when multiplied by the, number of addresses on the mailing
list amounts to the tremendous total of 4,216,000 .

The fertilizer work of the past season was much heavier than that of any previous
year, the total number of official and unofficial samples analyzed being nearly 2,000 .
Nearly 400 samples of feeding stuffs were analyzed under the provision of the feed
stuffs law, while about 200 samples of food and drugs were also examined chemj.cally
during the past year . As all analyses are made in duplicate , the ~rork acco~p~ shed
is equivalent to the analysis of 5,000 or more samples .
Investigations have also been continu~d by this Department with regard tp determining
the availability as plant food of the basic slag obtained as a by-product of
the manufacture of steel in this state by the open hearth process, immense quantities
- of this material at present being thrown aside as a waste product .
The laboratory has also conducted investigation as to ~he availability of certain
classes of organic nitrogenous m~terials that are used for fert ilizing purposes,
some of these materials being of doubtful value and utility for thi_s purpose . These
investigations are being continued during the present year by Prof. Hare .
Samples of illuminating oils have been collected in every county of the state
and a bulletin giving results of these oil tests has been publis~ed .
Investigations ~ other departments of tbe college Experiment Station.
Analytical work has been performed in connection with experiments and investigations
conducted by other departments of the experiment station, the materials
analyzed having embraced samples of f arm products , fer tilizers , insecticides , et c .
Entomology:
The followi ng problems have been studied by this department: .
(1 )
(2)
(3)
The contr ol of the San Jose.' scale and plum cureulio upon the peach, and
of t he. coddling mot h upon the a ppl e .
The cont rol of white f li es and scale i nsects which seriously threaten t he
r apidly gr owing satsuma orange industry in south Alabama.
Investigation of life hist ory, and determination and demonstration of
most effective oethods, of control of t he grass worm or f all army worm,
which appeared in g reat . numbe~s in the southern part of t he state early
in the s pring of 1912 and spread rapidly, doi ng great damage to corn,
sor ghum, and ot her f orage crops, al so in many cases to cotton, cowpeas , etc.
Animal Husbandry :
Valuable experiment s ar e being conducted by t his department in different sections
of the stat e and i n connection wit h t he agr i cultural schools in regard to swine ,
beef cat t le , dai ry cows , and poultry.
Some of t he problems under considerati on are the following: -
1 . The study of the economic results of finishing hogs on green pasture crops,
in companion with dry l ot methods .
2. The wor k has been enlarged duri ng t he year on. two hog farms. The value of
various southern feeds in being studied under farm conditions, and other problems
i n connection wi th growing pigs are also being studied.
3. 1tlor k has been undertaken t o determine the cost of keeping brood sows during
and summer when fed on various feeds.
4. The cost of r aising beef calves under farm conditions.
5. The value of various home- grown feeds for milk production.
Horti culture :
Important investigations have been conducted under the Adams Act:
1. In regard to peach breeding for r esi stance against brown rot .
2. Irish potato investigation.
3. Cit range investigation.
4 •. Experiment s i n for Cing vegetables under gl ass .
5. The control of blight, brown r ot, and borers wit h orchard fruits.
The l ocal experiment work and the state nursery inspection under this department
have ent ail ed. great l abor. The work undertaken during t he year in local experimental
work has been t hat of f er t i l i zer f or veget ables, tests di stributed over f ourt
een counties and twenty-three l ocalities. Sixty of the counties of the state have
been 1fisited, and 10,000 miles covered by rail, by :oombers of this department. The
inspection of state nurseries and the issuance of certi ficat es and offi cial tags
bot h for nurseri es in the state and outside nurseries entails a l a r ge amount of
field and offi ce work .
Veterinary Department:
The record for farmers' institutes for 1912 is hi ghly satisfactory, exhi bited
by the following table :

A highly successful session of the Farmers ' Summer School was held at Auburn
during the first ten days of August .
Agricultural EXtension: -
As heretofore, the princi pal work" of , the Extension Department of this station
in 1912 has consisted in the organization of Boys I Corn Clubs and Girls ' Tomato
Clubs . This work has ' grown rapidly, the enrollment in 1912 being 9784 boys i n the
corn clubs and 1758 gir l s in the tomato clUbs . Corn clubs are maintained in every
county, and tomato clubs in fourteen counties .
Liberaltprizes offered by Boards of Revenue, firms and private parties greatly
increased the interest" and made it possible for 100 Alabama boys and eight girls
to attend the National Corn Exposition at Columbia , S. C.
At the Exposition, Alabama won the sweepstakes prize in boysl and girls ' club
work: The yield obtained by the boys and girls who make the highest records are
detailed on a latter page of the Annual Report of the Directot of the Experiment
Station. The twenty (20) bOys making the largest yields in the state averaged 165
bushels per acre .
"When a boy makes a higher yield than any one else in t he neighborhood, or a
girl learns by experience t hat canning affords a source of revenue to the girls on
t he farm, the good effects are not confined to the profit s secured nor to the one
individual. The community, too, receives a benefit .
l-!eeds of the COllege:
There are many needs of the college which are ~bsolutely imperative . Of course,
we understand the financial status of the state , and at present it may be i mpossible
to secure funds for supplying these pres sing needs of the Instit ut ion .
I am not speaking of the needs of the future or of posterity, but the needs
of the young men who have been here and who are here now. For the last ten years
t hese needs have been most insistent. t "
(1) Primarily, there is a demand for an infirmary. It is really a reflection
upon our good state that the young men entrusted to our care have so limited and
unsatisfactory accommodations when t hey are stricken with illness . I am actually
ashamed when parents visit the Institution and find their sons in t he only quarters
that we have available for patients . We have our excellent surgeDn and we have excellent
trained nurses, and by this means the first unfavorable i mpression of our
patrons are gr adually dispelled, but the conditions are entirely out of keeping
with th dignity or a great state Insti tution. It is estimated that $15 ,000 would
supply eatisfactory accommodations .
(2) Building for Boiler House and Machinery: As stated to you in my last report,
the Boiler House and power plant is in a precarious condition, and t his
condition is only the more emphasized by the year ls exposure to the weather . The
walls of the Boiler House are cracked , the roof leaks, whi~e the entire structure ,
built partly of wood and covered with felt roofing, is a direct menace to the entire
group of college buildings .
(3) Equipment for Power Pl ant :
\ole have been able, only at great inconveni ence, to run our Power Plant
t hroughout the year . It has been several years now since we added t o our machinery
in this department . As you know, opr power plant supplies light s to t he college
and to the communit y , furnishe s power for all t he shops , and pumps all the water
used by students and citizens ; and so in case of a breakdown, which is probable
at any time, t he entire institution and community would be par alyzed. Ten thousand
dollars ($10, 000 . 00) is needed for a new engine, a new dyn~mo, and other machinery
that would place the plant upon a safe basis .
(4) Equipment for Electri cal and Mechanic~ l Engineering .
An immediate appropriation of $4~OOO would add greatly to the efficiency of
t hese departments in which instruction"is given to so large a number of young men.
Recent types of machinery, electrical appliances , telephone appliances, etc ., are
indispensable for keeping instruction abreast with the times .
(5) Farm ~.achinery BUilding :
I
The Institution greatly ne eds a building and equipment for farm machinery. Gi ven
a building costing $5 , 000, we could , i n the shortest time possible , equip it with the
most recent patterns of improved farm machinery . The great manufacturing companies
engaged in producing farm implement s have already signified their willingness t o
furnish large quantities of t heir machine ry .
(6) Equipment for the Agricultural Hall and Laboratories .
An accurate estimate shows t hat at t he very least $5 ,000 is needed for the
equipment necessary for accompli shing the proper wo rk in' t he different departments
of the agricultural college . We have no gas plant for t he laboratories j there is
no furniture for the auditorium; and several of the ag ricult~ral ~aboratories a re
entirely d~stitute of apparatus .
(7) S ea ~s for Auditorium.
'3 ,000 at least should be set aside for the seating of our college auditorium.
It is a splendid old building, hallowed by the memory of such mOen as Stephens , Hill ,
Col quit , Gancey, Hilliard, " Clopton, etc ., Here we hold all of our public functions .
Here we invite t he most distinguished scholars ' and orators in the land , and yet
there is scarcely a high school in the country so poorly furnished . There is not a
l eading state institution t hat has not better seating facilitieS in its auditorium
hall .
(8) Heating .
An expenditure of $5 ,000 would be a most economical investment in a steam heating
outfit, for the Main Building and for the Chemical Laboratory . False economy,
years aeo, prompted the exclusion of this provision from the appropriati9n bill ; and
year after year , coal has been carried, in primitive fashion, in the hod , by negro
.labor , for thirty- five recitation,rooms , up thre,e fli ghts of stairs . lith the steam
equipment instp.lled, we have at hand a ready supply of exhaust steam from our- power
house ,_ .... ,hich now goes entirely to waste. In a few years the int tial cost of a plant
w~uld be entirely repaid .
(9) Chemical Buildi ng .
-I
The need 9f more extended quarters for our chemic 1 department i s most obvious .
This depa rtme n~ ha ~ incr eased imm~n ely i n t he l ast few years . We have the largest
departments of analyti cal chemistry, assaying and metal lurgy in t he South , while a
tremendous amount of analytical work is done in carrying out the State laws of inspection
of corrnnodities . A 60,000 building is needed for this department .
(10) Veterinary B¢lding • .
A b~lding costing at least 30,000 will be the least possible accommodation
for this rapidly growing department of the college . Our Veterinary College fs just
now the only one in the outh . It has been strikingly successful and has drawn patronage
from allover the South. I have now letters of inquiry from two' leaQ.ing
Southern A. & M. Colleges that are looking toward d~veloping this most profi table
department of agricultural education . \,le were the pioneers in this line of work,
but we cannot possibly keep our position in the forefront without proper accommodations
and facilties . Dean Cary and his assistants are doing excellent work,
but other states , more generous with th~r appropriations, are preparing to outstrip
us and deflect our patronage .
(ll) Other Important Demands:
There are other i mportant demands of the college; a gymnaslum, Ja Young Men ' s
Christian Association building , and other fa cilities that constitute a well regulated
college organization, but the above are more .ilnmediately urgent . I am sure there
can be no more profitable investment of the St'ate I s lOOney than in these instru- ~ '"
mentalities for further production.
In regard to the ' matter of housing our students, it is~ a matter of fac t t hat
we have educated something like 9,000 young men at Auburn, and until a few years ago
not a cent had been expended by .the State for dormit.ory purposes . As. it is now,
90 per cent of the students find t heir quarters in the private homes of cit izens,
while the Greek letter fraternities, instead of asking for the money of the State
to be advanced to th~, rent their own quarters and. furnish their pwn faci~it~es ,
None of the funds appropriated to the college by the federal government cap b~
used for the purpose of building, and it is to be sincerely hoped t hat at the
earliest date 20ssible something can be done to meet t he urgent demand for. more
building, and I am confident t hat the governing powers of tFie State will meet these
demanas as soon as the financialAcomditions wiLl. warrant .
In this connection I respectfully offer the following suggestions: The college,
through its depart ment of chemistr y, makes the inspection of illuminating oils in
t he State of Alabama, turning over to the state treasury three-fourths of t he amount
collected . During the last five years it has paid in over $150,000.00 while the
condition of t he treasury has prevented its drawing any of the appropriations contingently
made \luring the last legislature . Would it be too great a request to ask
that a IX'rtion of this fund paid by the college int the State treasury be returned,
f rom ti e to time , for meeting the exigencies enumerated above? The following table
exhibits these needs :
(1) Infirmary $ 15,000 .00
(2) Boiler House 10,000.00

$100, namelY: (1) Mathematics, (2) Civil Engineering, (3) Chemist of Soils, (4)
Instructor in Mecnanical Drawing and Machine Design, (5) Physical Chemist.
Owing to the financial condit ion of the Institute, I recommend that the sliding
scale- of salaries adopted in 1908 be suspended.
I recommend the adoption of the Report of the Committee in regard to the Construction
of a building for the Young en's Christian Association (see appended page)

I herewith submit to the Board through you my report on the Local Experiment .Work of
all departments doing work under this fund.
-r ..
This information is submitted in the following order: 1.t
1. Brief mention of the activities of each department under the Local Experiment Fund.
2 . Statement of expenditures by departments .for the calendar year 1912 .
3. Recommendations for the ensuing year.
Brief Summary of ~'Jork in all Departments in 1912 under the Local' Experiment Law.
Publications
The publications for t he year issued und .r t his law numbered 19. These contained
of 294 pages; and t he number of pages in. all copies printed aggregated 4,216,000.
is in addi tion to Station publications paid for from the Federal Hatch FUND.
a td al
This
~,or eove r, many t housands of letters g~v~g agricultural infor mation , as contemplated
by law, were written by the heads of the differ ent departDlent s of the Station. In the
Director's office al one, t he nwnber of lett ers (exclusive of circular letters, etc.)
from January 1 t o ~~y 1 was at t he rat e of 9 , OC~ l etters per year.
Agriculture, Dr ainage , Machinery , and Plant Breeding
Under these t hree i t euls of t he l aw, t he t otal number of experiments conducted in 1912
was 471. The t ot al number of experiments in progress on May 21, 1913, is 422. This
list is being i ncreased almost every week . Th ese experiments bear on more than forty
different agr i cultural pr obl ens, and include more than 100 fertilizer experiments in
corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts , sugar cane, etc. The main object is to secure informat
ion, by tests in each county, t hat will r educe the immense waste now resulting from
t he appl i cation of fertilizers to soils or crops to which they are not suited, and
t o increase t he cr op yields and pr ofits on every soU.
The item f or plant breeding is expended in testing, in as many l ocalities as possible,
strains of cotton, corn, and other plant s wllieh have been bred up or improved on the
Stati on farm at Auburn, and in assisting the farmers in the different counties to propagate
and continue the breeding of these improved varieties.
Cooperaticn in drainage has beenoontinued with the United States Department of Agriculture,
whieh reports an expenditure under thi s cooperation up to the beginning of
t he present calendar yeur of $2,787.30; which i8 about doubl e t he amount invested
from our Local ~eriment Fund.
Tests have been made of farm machinery, .including tests repeated in several localities,
of t hree machines for chopping cotton, and of machines for drilling oats. Moreover,
our men have collected considerable .data on other implements concerning which Alabama
farmers are seeki ng information.
