 WEATHER BUREAU STATIONS AND WORK OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, D. C. 
 
 In the performance of the duties imposed upon it by the organic act the 
 Weather Bureau maintains throughout the United States, in the West Indies, 
 and in Hawaii 200 meteorological stations employing from 1 to 10 men each. 
 At these stations regular meteorological observations are token and tele- 
 graphed, meteorological data recorded and tabulated, and the forms and publi- 
 cations necessary to the effective distribution of the forecasts, warnings, and 
 climatological data prepared and issued. 
 
 For forecast purposes the United States is divided into districts comprising: 
 <1) The Upper Mississippi Valley and the Northwest, Henry J. Cox, Chicago, 
 111., in charge. (2) Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, Isaac M. dine, 
 New Orleans, La., in charge. (3) Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona,

 ton. Oregon, and Idaho, Edward A. Beals, Portland, Oreg., in charge. (6) The 
 remainder of the United States, forecaster on duty, Washington, D. O., in 
 charge. At the first three of the stations named morning forecasts only are 
 prepared and distributed; at the last three, both morning and evening forecasts. 
 
 For purposes of inspection the United States is divided into two inspection 
 districts, designated, respectively, the eastern district, which includes the 
 region to the east of the Mississippi River and all Weather Bureau stations on 
 that river, and the western district, comprising the remainder of the United 
 ' States The inspectors of the Weather Bureau are Norman B. Conger and 
 Henry B. Hersey, with headquarters at Detroit, Mich., and Milwaukee, Wis., 
 respectively. 
 
 For the collection and distribution of climatoloirieal data and information

 The work of this division is "to collect un.l disseminate information concern- 
 ing dairy farming, tbe cnre and impro\ ( mem .f dairy cattle, and the pn-duci jon. 
 care, and distribution of dairy products." It maintains a general survey ..f the 
 condition of the dairy industry in the country at lai^.- ami in the different 
 tions. in addition to special inquiries as to dairy organ i;cat ions, dairy schools and 
 facilities for technical instruction, state dairy laws. the development ..r mai 
 the milk supply of cities and towns, and the laws and iv-ulati.-u- in i.-f, 
 thereto. 
 
 Investigations are conducted in dairy-farm management, including sp. 
 work in the Southern States for the Introduction of bettor dairy practice and !!; 
 mconraferant of divot sili d farming throu-H tho Introduction of dairyinir. 
 The formation of cow-test associations on n nlf-snatatolng ba- \in' 
 
 attention. 
 
 The division also makes investigations ns to the manufacture of Imtter and 
 Cheese, including European varieties of cheese, and concerning dairy machinery 
 and equipment The division architect prepares plans and technical advice for 
 the construction of sanitary and economical dairy buildings. The organi/atinn 
 and management of creameries and factories and of the larger dairy enter- 
 prises, now increasing in number and importance, are receiving special atten- 
 tion. The division Is also charged with the details of administration of tho 
 concerning the inspection of factories and markets for "renovated" r 
 " process " butter. 
 
 Considerable attention has been given to work in connection with the impr.iv,- 
 .iient of city milk supplies. This is accomplished by means of cooperation with 
 the local authorities. Public meetings are arranged wherein the producers, con- 
 sumers, physicians, and others are brought together and the subject of milk 
 improvement discussed. There is usually also a competitive exhibit of milk and 
 cream, and sometimes of dairy farms. The score-card system of scoring dairies 
 and farms used and recommended by the division is indispensable for this work. 
 It has been found of great value in a large number of cities where it is now 
 regularly in use. 
 
 Reports upon tHese lines of work are prepared and published, and an exten- 
 sive correspondence is conducted to ascertain and meet the needs of those inter- 
 ested in the various departments of the dairy industry. The division seeks to 
 serve as a clearing house for dairy experience and information. Its officers and 
 agents visit the dairy centers and conventions for personal contact and advice.

 BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY. 
 
 Chief, HARVEY W. WILEY; F. L. DUNLAP, associate chemist and acting chief 
 in the absence of the chief; W. D. BIGELOW, assistant chief of bureau; F. B. 
 LINTON, chief clerk; A. L. PIERCE, editor; A. E. DRAPER, librarian. 
 
 The Bureau of Chemistry is concerned primarily with questions of agricul- 
 tural chemistry of public interest, analytical work and investigations under the 
 food and drugs act, and other chemical investigations referred to it by the 
 Government. Such investigations include studies on the effects of storage on 
 foods, especially on drawn and undrawn poultry, eggs, etc., and physiological 
 experiments to determine the nutritive value of certain foods and the effect of 
 substances added to foods and beverages on health and digestion. The exami- 
 nation of samples of foods and drugs under section 4 of the food and drugs act, 
 June 30, 1906, constitutes an important part of the work. The chief of the 
 bureau is chairman and the associate chemist is ser-rotary of the Board of 
 Food and Drug Inspection (see p. 51), which conducts or has supervision of all 
 hearings afforded interested parties, as provided in section 4 of the food and 
 drugs act, and passes on questions of importation of foods and drugs, under 
 section 11 of the same act. Inquiries of value to individuals only, or to a small 
 group of individuals, can not be considered: in general, miscellaneous samples 
 can not be examined. The bureau, by direction of the Secretary, has charge of 
 all the chemical work of the department not otherwise provided for by law.

 ORCKMENT OF THE FOOD AND DRUGS ACT. 
 
 While all the divisions and laboratories cooperate to a greater or less degree 
 In the analytical work contingent ii|>on the inspection of foods and drugs, the 
 imreMu organization directly concerned In tlu- ndniinistrntlon of the law is as 
 follows : 
 
 The Division of Foods is lu charge of the analytical work on foods performed 
 nt the central bureau in the enforcement of the law, makes check analyses on 
 doubtful samples referred to it by the food and drug inspection laboratories, 
 and renders the final decision as to the analytical results, BO far as the Hnreau 
 of Chemistry is concerned. In general, this work Is done in the Washington 
 Food Inspection Laboratory of the Division of r<>< ds. L. M. Tolman, chief. The 
 Division of Drugs performs the same work In regard to drugs, medicines, etc., 
 and the Miscellaneous Division has charge of the water and cnltlc food work 
 under the law. 
 
 The Chief of the Division of Foods, who is also assistant chief of bureau, 
 installs the Inspection laboratories and has charge of the administrative detail 
 in connection with their work, although the chiefs of these laboratories report 
 directly to the chief of bureau, who Is charged by the Secretary with the details 
 of bureau administration Involved. Food and drug inspection laboratories have 
 been established at the following points: Boston, B. H. Smith, chief; Buffalo, 
 W. L. Dubols, chief; Chicago, A. L. Winton, chief; Cincinnati, B. II. Hart, chief; 
 Denver, R. S. Hiltner, chief; Detroit, H. L. Schulz, chief; Galveston, T. F. 
 Pappe, chief; Honolulu, Hawaii, E. B. Blanchard, acting; Kansas City, Mo., 
 F. W. Llepsner, chief; Nashville, R. W. Balcom, chief; New Orleans, W. J. 
 McGee, chief; New York, R. E. Doolittle, chief; Omaha, S. H. Ross, chief; 
 Philadelphia, C. S. Brinton, chief; Pittsburg, M. C. Albrech, chief; Portland, 
 Oreg., A. L. Knisely, chief; St. Louis, D. B. Blsbee, chief; St. Paul, A. S. 
 Mitchell, chief; San Francisco, R. A. Gould, chief; Savannah, W. C. Burnet, 
 chief ; Seattle, H. M. Loomls, chief. 
 
 OFFICE OF CHIEF INSPECTOR. 
 
 The corps of 40 inspectors under a chief inspector, W. G. Campbell, who re- 
 ports directly to the chief of bureau, has headquarters at Washington, and the 
 inspectors receive their directions from and make their reports to the chief in- 
 spector at that point. The taking of samples for analysis constitutes their chief 
 duty, though special investigations In collaboration with the chemists are also 
 made, and factories where articles of food or drugs are prepared, are also 
 inspected.

 The assistants working directly under the chief of the division are R. F. 
 BACON, C. W. CLARK, P. B. DUNBAR, H. C. GORE, and J. M. JOHNSON. 
 
 The division of foods Is charged with the food Investigations made by the 
 bureau, and the laboratories named were created therein on July 1, 1908. In 
 the past much work has been done with various kinds of food purchased In the 
 open market. In order to determine their purity and the character of adultera- 
 tion commonly practiced. Careful attention has long been given to this sub- 
 ject under the provisions of the appropriation act authorizing the Bureau of 
 Chemistry to Investigate the adulteration, false labeling, and false branding of 
 food products. 
 
 Aside from the other Inquiries mentioned, the Division of Foods studies 
 analytical methods necessary for the examination of food. This work is partly 
 done in collaboration with the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, of 
 which the chief of the bureau is the secretary. Special studies are made from 
 time to time of the Influence of methods of manufacture and other conditions
 
 CHEMISTRY BUREAU. 27 
 
 upon tlie composition and wholesoineness of food with respect to the enforcement 
 of the food and drugs act. Among the subjects now under investigation are 
 the following: The preparation of by-products from waste citrus fruits; the 
 study of the changes in composition of cider and other saccharine products in 
 the manufacture of vinegar ; the handling and shipment of oysters ; the influence 
 of tin receptacles and of lacquers used for lining them on the character and com- 
 position of food ; the composition of various varieties of soy beans and the char- 
 acter of the oil produced from them ; and the determination of the character and 
 quantity of the various organic acids in different types of foods. 
 
 H. C. Gore is in charge of special studies on fruits and fruit products con- 
 ducted in cooperation with the Bureau of Plant Industry. The principal sub- 
 jects of study at present are as follows: The preparation of unfermented juices 
 from apples, grapes, and the small fruits; the preparation of sugared, dried 
 pineapple ; and the treatment of Japanese persimmons by a modification of the 
 Japanese method for rendering them nonastringent ; studies on the respiration 
 and composition of fruit, and the application of the data obtained thereby to 
 problems of transportation and storage. 
 
 The work in connection with the enforcement of the food and drugs act, 
 June 30, 1906, naturally divides itself into two portions: First, the inspection 
 of foods and drugs sold in the District of Columbia and the Territories, or 
 shipped in interstate commerce; second, the inspection of foods imported into 
 the United States from foreign countries. The samples of foods collected in the 
 vicinity of Washington are examined in the food-inspection laboratory of the 
 Division of Foods, in which laboratory the results of the branch laboratories 
 on condemned samples, whether imported or domestic, are also checked, with 
 the exception of flavoring extracts, which are examined in the food technology 
 laboratory. 
 
 
 DIVISION OF DRUGS. 
 
 L. F. KEBLER, chief. 
 
 Drug inspection laboratory, G. W. HOOVER, chief. 
 Synthetic products laboratory, W. O. EMERY, chief. 
 Essential oils laboratory, under chief of division. 
 Pharmacological laboratory, WM. SALANT, chief. 
 
 This division has for its object the study of the properties, composition, and 
 quality of drugs and medicinal preparations of all kinds. A large part of its 
 work consists in the study of official and new methods and the acquisition of 
 data which may lead to more satisfactory and accurate analytical processes, 
 especially for testing potent plant drugs and products derived from them. The 
 chief of the Drug Division, as referee on medicinal plants and drugs of the 
 Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, has undertaken a collaborative 
 study of drug assay methods; as associate referee the chief of the synthetic 
 products laboratory is studying methods for determining synthetic chemicals in 
 various combinations; and Mr. H. C. Fuller is investigating methods for analyz- 
 ing medicated soft drinks. Many samples of manufactured pharmaceutical 
 preparations have been examined for the council of pharmacy and chemistry 
 of the American Medical Association. The several departments of the Govern- 
 ment submit samples of drug products to this division for examination, and, in 
 accordance with the provisions of the appropriation act, many fraudulent 
 medicinal products are investigated for the Post Office Department. All chem- 
 ical supplies bought by the Bureau of Chemistry are examined in the Division 
 of Drugs previous to their acceptance ; examinations of supplies are also made 
 for the general supply committee of the Government. Analyses of medicinal 
 plants and other products are made for the Bureau of Plant Industry, medicines 
 are examined for the War Department, and investigations are conducted in 
 collaboration with the Bureau of Entomology and the Division of Foods of 
 this bureau. 
 
 A careful study of those medicinal remedies included in the United States 
 Pharmacopoeia for which there are no methods of analysis or recognized stand- 
 ards at present, and of some remedies not so recognized, is now in progress for 
 the purpose of developing methods of analysis and acquiring data upon which 
 uniform methods and standards of composition, quality, and strength may be 
 based. The change of composition or deterioration, due to age or other causes.

 sion of several lines of work, which were originally autliori/.cd in the in^-.-t jfjde 
 and water laboratory aud reorganized under order of the Secretary July 1. 1905, 
 as the miscellaneous laboratory. The principal lines of work are the exuBinattoa 
 and study of waters, cattle foods, forapp crops. ;r rains, insecticides and fungi- 
 cides, trade wastes, and certain hygienic problems; also such miscellaneous 
 chemical work of the Bureau of chemistry and of other bureaus and di visions 
 of various departments of the Government as may be referred to this division 
 and which does not properly belong to other established laboratories. The work 
 on waters includes the chemical examination and study of mineral waters, irri- 
 ir:'ting waters, waters for sanitary, technical, and domestic pnrjioses. and of the 
 lM)table and medicinal waters found bottled on the market, for the purpose of 
 securing data for use in connection with the enforcement of the food and dru^s 
 act of June 30, 1906. In collaboration with the Office of Grain Investigation 
 of the Bureau of 1'lant Industry, studies are made of the relative food value, 
 milling and baking qualities, and general commercial importance of grains, to- 
 gether with the adaptability of certain grains to specific purposes. Cattle ; 
 are studied in order to secure data for use in connection with the enforcement 
 of the food and drugs act. There are being made, in collaboration with the 
 Bureau of Kntomology, experiments to determine the efficiency of certain in 
 cides and their effect upon foliage, and, in collaboration with several experiment 
 stations, studies of more complete methods of analysis. Various chemical 
 studies are also made of insecticides and fungicides for other bure.sus of th" 
 department, and samples of the same are collected and examined for the pu: 
 of enforcing the national insect vide act of 1910. Sieoial inve<tisMiiens .ire 
 being made of the effect of smelter fumes upon plants and animals and the in- 
 jury to vegetation and soils by the contamination of irrigating waters by mining 
 wastes.

 G. E. PATP.ICK, chief. 
 
 The dairy laboratory examines dairy products of every description and 
 studies methods for making such examinations. A large part of the work at 
 present is in connection with the enforcement of the food and drugs act of 
 1906. in the examination of interstate samples of milk, butter, cheese, con- 
 densed milks, dried milks, malted milks, lactated foods, ice cream, and all 
 other dairy products, to determine questions as to their adulteration and mis- 
 branding. Also under section 11 of the same act referring to imported foods, 
 this laboratory examines many samples of imported dairy products, mostly 
 cheese, taken by the customs officers at the various ports of entry. Samples of 
 dairy products are also examined for the general supply committee of the 
 Government, which committee contracts for food supplies for certain institu- 
 tions. Samples received from other sources than the above are analyzed when 
 such work promises to be of public benefit The assistants in this laboratory 
 are B. D. Johnson, J. T. Keister, W. J. Morgan, and B. B. Schneider. 
 
 FOOD RESEARCH LABORATORY. 
 M. E. PENNINGTON, chief. 
 
 The food research laboratory was formally organized July 1, 1908, though 
 it had existed as a laboratory for special investigations since April, 1907. With 
 its formal establishment has come a broadening of its field of activity, which 
 has been very largely confined to the study chemical, bacteriological, and histo- 
 logical of foods preserved by low temperatures, milk, poultry, and eggs having 
 been especially selected for study, directing attention chiefly to their decomposi- 
 tion and putridity during preparation, transportation, storage, and marketing, 
 in connection with the execution of the food and drugs act ; the changes which 
 go on in preserved foods, whether the means of preservation be cold, heat, chem- 
 ical reagents, or desiccation, are also studied. A special investigation of 
 frozen and dried eggs and egg products has recently been inaugurated, to be 
 conducted chiefly in the egg-breaking establishments and with the cooperation 
 of the industry. The assistants in this laboratory are A. D. Greenlee, J. S. 
 Hepburn. M. Jenkins, H. C. Pierce, H. C. Robertson, jr., E. Q. St. John, and

 ples under the food and drugs act are also made. The assistants in this labora- 
 tory are C. G. Church, A. Given, S. F. Sherwood, and M. N. Straughn. 
 
 SECTION OF ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY. 
 F. C. WEBER, in charge. 
 
 The work in this section includes metabolism and feeding experiments with 
 foods, with organic and inorganic compounds, and with various carbohydrates. 
 A complete study of infant foods and of the application of chemical methods to 
 the determination of deterioration of animal foods and their unfitness for 
 human consumption is being made. Experimental work to improve the methods 
 of analysis ordinarily employed in physiological chemistry is also undertaken. 
 The assistants in this section are F. C. Cook and H. W. Houghton. 
 
 SECTION OF BACTERIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY. 
 G. W. STILES, Jr., in charge. 
 
 The investigations in bacteriological chemistry consist principally of the 
 bacteriological examination of various food materials, together with the in- 
 spection of methods of handling and preparation, including milk, cream, ice 
 cream, water, uncooked vegetables, shellfish, ketchups, and gelatin. The 
 bacterial content of fowls, fish, eggs, beef, game, etc., as affected by storage, and 
 of shell, frozen, and desiccated eggs, is also determined. 
 
 Considerable attention is devoted to testing the germicidal, antiseptic, and 
 preservative value of certain drugs, chemicals, and fruit juices. Special con- 
 sideration is also given to the identification and classification of the various 
 bacteria, yeasts, and molds encountered in these investigations. Another line 
 of work involves the examination of surgical dressings, gauzes, ligatures, etc., 
 to determine their sterility. Cooperative work with other laboritories is done 
 when required. The assistants in this section are C. Bates, Ruth C. Great- 
 house, and E. Le Fevre. 
 
 SECTION OF ENOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGY. 
 WM. B. ALWOOD, in charge. 
 
 The investigations conducted in this section fall naturally into two divisions, 
 one dealing with the study of alcholic ferments and the malorganisms asso- 
 ciated with them in fruit musts, ciders, wines, and fruit by-products ; the other 
 with the composition of fruits and fruit juices and their fermented products and 
 the critical examination of the residue which is left in the marc or pomace as 
 a practically waste product. 
 
 In the fermentation study the pure cultures of the various organisms which 
 occur in fruit musts or similar products, are separated. These organisms are 
 isolated and their growth activities studied as alcoholic ferments or as mal- 
 ferments which destroy the sugar, alcohol, acids, etc., which it is desired to 
 
 The pure cultures which have given the greatest promise in Europe have 
 been studied and compared with those isolated in this country. Having thus 
 determined the vital activities, methods of control are studied, that the cul- 
 tures of pure ferments may be utilized to produce the desired qualities in prod- 
 ucts manufactured from fruit juices, and either to suppress or destroy unde- 
 sirable organisms. Cellar tests on the use of the pure cultures in comparison 
 with each other and with unyeasted must are made, and also tests on the use 
 of sulphur in the fermenting and handling of fruit juices in the cellar. These 
 studies are conducted at Charlottesville, Va. The assistants in the work are 
 J. R. Eoff, jr., and B. G. Hartmann.

 SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS. 
 (Under the direction of the chief of bureau.) 
 
 This bureau is especially studying the influence of environment upon the 
 chemical composition of the sugar and starch producing plants. The need of 
 further study of these subjects is generally recogni/ed and in its prosecution 
 the bureau has the active collaboration of a number of State experiment 
 stations as well as the cooperation of the Bureau of Plant Industry. Studies on 
 canta loupes are In progress by M. N. Straughn and C. G. Church. 
 
 Studies of methods for the determination of the age of foods, especially as 
 applied to eggs, liquors, etc., are conducted by Herman Schreiber, together with 
 investigations of methods for the determination of metals in foods and other 
 miscellaneous studies of a similar nature. 
 
 A. W. Bitting, with headquarters. at Lafayette, Ind., is conducting special 
 investigations in regard to food preparation and manufacture, including the 
 study of the sanitary condition of manufactories and canning establishments, 
 the materials used, cleanliness in preparation, methods of treatment, and the 
 keeping properties of the products. The effect of different methods of preserv- 
 ing foods on the character of the product is also considered, the work being 
 directed chiefly along the line of sterilization by heat and preserving by her- 
 metic closure. The causes of spoilage and its character are also determined. 
 The work is conducted in part in cooperation with the canners and manu- 
 facturers.

 The work of this bureau is organized under the following sections: 
 
 INTE8T1' ol>8. 
 
 W. I). HUNTEB, in charge. 
 
 The in\ estiva I Ion of the Mexican co,ton holl weevil and the hollworm and 
 other cotton )>ests is the principal field of work under this section. It inc 
 also the special investigation of the life history of the cattle tick and oilier 
 ticks parasitic on domestic animals, and the in\et i-ati.m of the insect ene 
 of tobacco, rice, and sujrar cane, and of cacti planted for t"i 
 
 BoU-irffiil inrixtiijatinti. The investigation of the cotton hull weevil covers 
 field and laboratory investigations, the perfection of the cultural system of con- 
 trol : the utilization of parasites: the testing of insecticides and other remedies; 
 and the study of chaujrins: hahits. with spread to new territory and under new 
 conditions, as affecting means of control. On account of the ^'reat damage that 
 has been done in the Mississippi Valley a special laboratory was established at 
 Tallulah, T.a.. on July 1. 1!M)!>. New phases of the problem', due to the peculiar 
 climatic conditions in that important cotton-producing region, will be studied. 
 W. D. Pierce, principal assistant. 
 
 CaWr-tiri; in rr.st it/at inn. The work of the IJureau of EntomHo^y on the 
 cattle tick is limited to careful life-history studies covering the whole distribu- 
 tion of the tick, to form a basis for the Intelligent application of the pasture- 
 rotation method of control. The life history and habits of many other 
 affecting domestic animals, some of them of high economic imt>orta:ice. are 
 being investigated as means of discovering the best system of control. A. 
 special investigation of the ticks which transmit the highly fatal human dis- 
 ease known as "spotted fever" in the Rocky Mountain region was undertaken. 
 The object is to discover means of control of the ticks, by which means the 
 disease itself may be controlled or eradicated. F. C. Blshopp, principal as- 
 sistant. 
 
 Tobacco-in fieri investigation. This investigation covers primarily the insects 
 damaging tobacco in the dark-tobacco districts of Kentucky and Tennessee, but 
 the results gained will apply substantially to other tobacco districts. It includes 
 field demonstration of the efficiency of methods of preservation or control. A. C. 
 Morgan, principal assistant. 
 
 Rice and sugar-cane insect investigation. The. several insect pests of sugar 
 cane and rice are assuming new importance on account of the fact that the 
 ravages of the boll weevil in the humid region have in many cases forced 
 planters to substitute these crops for cotton. T. C. Barber, principal assistant. 
 
 CEBEAL AND FOBAGE INSECT INVESTIGATION 
 F. M. WEBSTER, in charge. 
 
 These investigations comprise field studies and experimentation on insect 
 enemies of wheat, corn, and other cereals, clover, alfalfa, timothy, and all 
 other plants used hi any way for forage The principal prain-int -ects 
 
 under investigation are the alfalfa weevil, Hessian fly. jointworm. chinch bug, 
 grain aphides, including the so-called "green bug," together with many oil 
 of lesser note. The principal insect enemies of forage crops at present under 
 Investigation are grasshoppers or locusts, the clover-root borer, clover and 
 alfalfa seed Chalcis, the clover-flower midge, and the timothy Isosoma, besides a 
 large number of insects of lesser importance. Special Investigations on the 
 Hessian fly are being carried on in connection with farmers and experiment 
 stations, and other State Institutions, in over 20 States. Of the special im 
 gallons one relates to the sorghum midge in the Southern States; another to a 
 new pest that appears to have originated in northeastern New Mexico and that
 
 ENTOMOLOGY BUREAU. 35 
 
 has since spread to the adjacent States of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colo- 
 rado, ravaging the cattle and sheep ranges, and which last year destroyed the 
 forage grasses on over 25,000 acres of land in northeastern New Mexico. An 
 outbreak of wireworms is being investigated in the State of Washington and 
 a similar investigation is being carried on with reference to the so-called " bud 
 worm " of corn in the Southern States. In addition, the insect parasites of all 
 these destructive insects are being studied. 
 
 Probably the most important investigation under this head is that of the 
 alfalfa weevil, an accidentally imported species, which has made its appearance 
 in Utah and threatens enormous damage to the alfalfa regions of surrounding 
 States. 'Headquarters have been opened near Salt Lake City and systematic 
 investigation is being carried on. The principal assistants are A. H. Kirkland, 
 George I. Reeves, W. J. Phillips, Charles N. Ainslie, E. O. G. Kelly, and James 
 A. Hyslop. 
 
 INVESTIGATIONS OF INSECTS AFFECTING DECIDUOUS FRUITS. 
 A. L. QUAINTANCE, in charge. 
 
 This branch of the bureau is charged with investigations of insects injurious 
 to orchards, vineyards, nut trees, etc., and certain special crops, as cranberries. 
 Close touch is kept on orchard conditions throughout the country, and on the 
 prevalence of destructive insect pests. Field laboratories are maintained for a 
 series of years in important fruit sections, and the destructive insects of the 
 region carefully studied. Experiments and demonstrations on a commercial 
 scnle are made in the preparation and use of insecticides, spraying apparatus, 
 etc. Some of the projects under way are: 
 
 f / rape-insect investigations. The grape insects now being especially studied 
 are the rose-chafer, the blossom-bud gnat, and the grape leafhopper. Thorough 
 life-history investigations are carried on and extensive experiments made with 
 control measures, especially sprays. Fred Johnson, principal assistant. 
 
 Pedr-thrips investigations. The study of the very injurious pear thrips, 
 begun in July, 190G, with headquarters at San Jose, Cnl.. has. along with the 
 spread of the insect, been materially extended. A laboratory also has been 
 maintained for the past two years in Contra Costa County, and investigations 
 have been extended into the Suisun and Courtland districts and into other 
 parts of the infested territory. A large amount of information on the life 
 history of the insect has been accumulated and many experiments have pointed 
 out the most economical and effective methods of control. These methods have 
 been used by fruit growers for the past two years with excellent results, and 
 it is believed a satisfactory remedy for the insect has been determined. Further 
 field experiments, however, are under way, and also demonstration spraying 
 on a large scale. P. R. Jones, principal assistant. 
 
 Grape-phylloxera investigations. Beginning in the spring of 1911 a thorough- 
 going investigation of the grape phylloxera in California was begun. This 
 work is being followed along three principal lines, namely, a study of the life 
 history and behavior of the insect ; the determination from the insect stand- 
 point of the degree of resistance of the different varieties of vines; and the 
 accumulation of statistics and data on the distribution and history and destruc- 
 tiveuess of the phylloxera in California. E. L. Jenne, principal assistant. 
 
 Codling-moth investigations. An investigation of the codling moth, or apple 
 worm, includes detailed life-history studies of the insect in different sections 
 of the country, as Washington, D. C., Pennsylvania. Arkansas, Nebraska, 
 Michigan. California, etc. It is desired to determine what variations occur 
 in the behavior of the species due to climatic or other conditions, as form- 
 ing a basis for a complete account of the insect for the country as a whole. 
 Extensive experiments with various sprays, including dust sprays, have been 
 made to determine the times and number of applications which should be given 
 to secure best results, especially for the second brood, where this is present. 
 A feature of the work has been the carrying out of demonstrations and spray- 
 ings on a strictly commercial basis. 
 
 Cranberry-insect investigations. The investigation of cranberry insects in 
 Wisconsin undertaken by the bureau in 1908 has been practically concluded. 
 A large amount of information has been obtained on the insect pests of cranber- 
 ries in that State, and experiments made have shown the best remedial measures 
 which should be employed to control them. A demonstration of the remedies

 Parasite laboratory. A laboratory has Ix-.-n established fr :m investigation 
 of the parasitic and predaceous insects which attack deciduous fruit 
 peats, with a view to careful life-history studies and their propagation in laiv 
 lunntiers fur distribution In orchard regions. The inseet parasite* of tin- codling 
 moth will reoeho first attention, mid anion;: predatory insets several sj 
 cf arboreal eoceineiiid beetles will be worked with. Principal assistants, C. \V.

 riiiin-ciimiiin in i > stiimtion*. Life-history studies of the plum curcul'm have 
 heeu In progress for several years nnd many experiments have been made with 
 remedial measures. The life-history investigations have been practically com- 
 pleted, but experimental work with sprays Is still under way. Demonstration 
 praying of peach orchards was carried out on a large scale in <;-nr>:ia and 
 West Virginia during the season of 1010, and similar work Is in progress in 
 Delaware, West Virginia, and Michigan during 1011. 
 
 INVESTIGATIONS OF INSECTS AFFECTING TROPICAL FRUITS. 
 C. L. MARLATT, in charge. 
 
 Under the above heading come all investigations of Insects affecting the 
 citrus fruits, pineapple, olive, flg, and all other tropical and subtropical fruit 
 cultures. The investigation of the white fly In Florida, and of the black and 
 other citrus-scale Insects in California, and of hydrocyanic-acid gas and other 
 means of control of these pests come in this section. 
 
 White-fly investigation. The work under way includes a detailed life-history 
 study of the white fly and Investigation of its control (1) by fumigation with 
 hydrocyanic-acid gas or other Insecticide treatment; (2) by fungous diseases; 
 and (3) by the introduction and encouragement of natural enemies. 
 
 The subjects of control of the white fly by fumigation and life-history studies 
 have been practically completed, and are covered by reports now available or 
 In process of publication. The subjects of control by spraying and by fungous 
 diseases have also been fairly well worked out, and will be completed in the 
 near future. 
 
 Pursuant to a special appropriation by Congress, a thorough study has been 
 under way during the last year to determine the native home of the white fly, 
 particularly with the idea of studying natural means of control, parasitic and 
 fungous, and the Introduction of such agencies of control Into this country. 
 This Investigation Is most promising. The white fly has been found In orange- 
 growing regions In India under conditions Indicating that It Is native to that 
 region, and important parasites and predaceous enemies have been discovered. 
 The effort is now being made to introduce the natural enemies Into Florida. 
 This work of exploration and Introduction of natural enemies of the white fly 
 Is being done by Mr. R. S. Woglum. 
 
 Hydrocyanic-acid gas investigation. The detailed Investigation of the subject 
 of fumigating citrus trees In southern California, undertaken at the Instance 
 of the horticultural commissioners of the principal orange-producing counties 
 of that State, was completed with the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 
 1010, and the agent In charge, Mr. R. S. Woglum, was transferred to another 
 Investigation. Reports have been published, making fully available the results 
 of this Investigation. 
 
 The orange thrips. The orange thrlps. a serious enemy of the orange of the 
 southern San .Toaqnin Valley, Cal., has been under investigation for about 
 two years, and gratifying progress has been made in the determination of 
 control measures. Experimental sprayings of orchards are now under way to 
 complete the investigation and as demonstration tests. 
 
 Similar thrips Injury is becoming an Important factor In orange culture In 
 southern California, and a preliminary investigation has been made and some 
 experimental work has been begun in relation to the various species of thrips 
 concerned in this injury. This work is under field charge of Mr. J. R. Horton.

 Texas, Colorado, California, and Maryland. Ar ,.! 
 
 At Norfolk Va work is being undertaken in cooperation with the Virginia 
 Truck Experiment Station, the Bureau of Plant Industry, the Southern Produce 
 Co and the Virginia State Board of Agriculture. The principal insects studied 
 are the spinach aphis or " green fly," the cabbage aphis and other cabbage 
 pests, the striped cucumber beetle, the Colorado potato beetle, and cutworms. 
 F A Johnston, principal assistant. 
 
 Similar lines of work have been conducted in Florida, with headquarters at 
 Orlando, but have been discontinued. 
 
 In Texas investigations are being conducted in cooperation with the Bureau 
 of Plant Industry, with headquarters at Brownsville. The insects under special 
 observation include the onion thrips, the melon aphis, the pickle and melon 
 worms flea-beetles, the bollworm on tomatoes, sweet corn, and other truck crops ; 
 webworms, the sweet-potato root-borer, the pepper weevil, and certain semi- 
 tropical species. M. M. High, principal assistant. 
 
 In Colorado a line of investigations has been opened up on some of the same 
 insects which occur both in Texas and in Colorado, and special work is being 
 conducted on the effect of arsenicals on beet-feeding species, and the determina- 
 tion as to whether spraying sugar beets with arsenicals could affect cattJ 
 which are turned into the field after the crop is off. This latter work is being 
 conducted in cooperation with the Bureau of Chemistry. H. O. Marsh, principal 
 
 RS | 1 ini ilar work is being done on the insects of the Pacific coast, chiefly in south- 
 ern California, with headquarters at Compton, Gal. The principal insects are 
 those which affect the sugar beet, comprising the bean thrips, root aphides, leaf- 
 hoppers white grubs, wireworms, leaf-beetles, and flea-beetles. In connects 
 with these studies insects affecting asparagus, celery, cabbage, and related crop 
 plants, onions, potatoes, and other truck crops are being studied. H. M. Russell, 
 principal assistant. 
 
 In California also, with headquarters at Sacramento, sugar-beet insects are 
 being investigated as well as various truck-crop insects, but a special investiga- 
 tion is being made of insects injurious to hops. W. B. Parker, principal 
 
 In northern Indiana, and especially in Starke County, a special investigation 
 of onion insects is being made. The onion thrips and maggots are the most 
 injurious species and the onion thrips has not previously been worked on very 
 carefully in the northern region. Different conditions will have to be met. 
 It is hoped that this work will practically include an extensive investigation 
 on this very important pest. M. M. High, principal assistant. 
 
 In Maryland work on local pests is being continued, principally from the 
 practical standpoint ; the life histories of these insects have been very generally 
 worked out. T. H. Jones, principal assistant. 
 
 Stored-product insects. Under the head of stored-product insects comes the 
 investigation of the insect enemies of such materials as grain, flour, meal, and 
 prepared cereals, leguminous seeds, dried fruits, nuts, drugs, tobacco, dried 
 meats and other animal products, such as cheese, leather, hides, wool, various 
 fabrics etc As remedies for mill pests, experimental and demonstration work 
 is being carried on with hydrocyanic-acid gas, carbon bisulphid, sulphur gases, 
 and others. A special study is being made of export flour from the Gulf re- 
 gion to determine the principal sources and means of prevention of infestation.

 This section covers the field of practical experimentation with Insecticides 
 and insecticide machinery. A chemist working in cooperation with this bureau 
 is detailed by the Bureau of Chemistry to take charge of the analyses and tests 
 of new Insecticides. Field operations and experiments are conducted on a 
 demonstration scale. Most of this work is now distributed under the different 
 special investigations of the bureau. 
 
 INVESTIGATIONS OF INSECTS AFFECTING SHADE TREES AND ORNAMENTAL Pi. \ 
 (Under the direction of the Entomologist.) 
 
 This constitutes a section separate from the investigations on the insect 
 enemies of forests, and although some of the insects arc identical the problem 
 of how to deal with them is in most cases quite distinct. It includes the 
 economic treatment of borers, tree defoliators, scales, and aphides, as well as 
 other insects that affect trees in public parks and in the streets of large cities. 
 A number of insects of this class, importations from Europe, such as the leopard 
 moth, gipsy moth, brown-tail moth, and imported willow curculio. are demanding 
 more attention year by year. This section includes also investigations of 
 insects affecting greenhouse and ornamental plants and tr

 INVESTIGATIONS IN BEE CULTURE. 
 
 l 
 E. F. PHILLIPS, in charge. 
 
 The importance of the beekeeping interests of the United States is recognized 
 by the maintenance of an office for special investigations in this field. Requests 
 from all parts of the country for information regarding various phases of 
 apiculture are constantly being received. 
 
 The structure and development of the bee are being investigated. Various 
 phases of the behavior of bees are being studied, since all practical manipu- 
 lations depend on a thorough knowledge of habits. Several lines of practical 
 work are being investigated, and the ultimate object of all the work of this 
 office is to aid the bee keeper by giving reliable information which will be of 
 use to him in his business. The present status of the beekeeping industry is 
 being investigated in great detail in three States. 
 
 Bee-disease investigation. G. F. White, bacteriologist. The cause, distri- 
 bution, method of spread, and treatment of the various bee diseases are being 
 investigated thoroughly in order that some means may be found of controlling 
 this source of heavy loss. 
 
 INTRODUCTION OF FOREIGN BENEFICIAL INSECTS. 
 (Under the immediate direction of the Entomologist.) 
 
 Results of extraordinary value in the control of certain imported insect pests 
 have been secured by the introduction of their natural enemies, and two or 
 three notable successes have resulted in the annual saving of more than the 
 cost of the Bureau of Entomology since its origin as a division. The introduc- 
 tion of enemies of the boll weevil and of the gipsy and brown-tail moths comes 
 in this field. When such work is carried out by expert entomologists, there 
 need be no risk of introducing injurious forms, but if attempted by others there 
 is danger of the introduction of harmful species. 
 
 GIPSY MOTH AND BROWN-TAIL MOTH INVESTIGATIONS. 
 (Under the immediate direction of the Entomologist.) 
 
 The work looking to the control of the gypsy moth and brown-tail moth is 
 carried out under a special appropriation by Congress of $300,000. The Secre- 
 tary of Agriculture is authorized to expend said appropriation by establishing 
 a quarantine, in cooperation with the State authorities, against the further 
 spread of these moths. 
 
 The work against the brown-tail molh is largely by distribution of informa- 
 tion concerning remedial methods, to encourage local control. 
 
 Field work against the gipsy moth.D. M. Rogers, in charge. The preven- 
 tion of the spread of the gipsy moth is accomplished chiefly by clearn 
 strips of forests bordering the roadways to prevent the carriage of larvse 
 passing automobiles and other vehicles. 
 
 Parasite laboratory. W. F. Fiske, principal assistant. A laboratory is man 
 tained for the assemblage, study, proper separation, and liberation of imported 
 parasites of the gipsy and brown-tail moths; field studies are made of 
 work of imported and native parasites. 
 
 MISCELLANEOUS INVESTIGATIONS. 
 (Under the immediate direction of the Entomologist.) 
 
 Much work accomplished by this office does not fall under any of the head- 
 ings previously noted. Such are supervision of quarantine operations au^ 
 identification of material for experiment stations and individuals, not only i 
 the United States but in various foreign countries. A great deal of technical 
 work is also done by the employees of this office, most of whom are specialists 
 in some particular group of insects and do more or less work in the classifica- 
 tion and care of the museum material coming directly under their hands, 
 little part of the work is also represented by the correspondence, which is very 
 voluminous. The preparation of bulletins, circulars, and general reports cover 
 ing the investigations already referred to is a very important feature of the 
 work.

 STATISTICS BUREAU. 43 
 
 FARMERS' BULLETINS. 
 (Under the immediate supervision of the editor and chief.) 
 
 The Division of Publications has general charge of the Farmers' Bulletin 
 series of publications. These are brief popular bulletins, prepared in the vari- 
 ous bureaus, divisions, and offices, and occasionally by persons not connected 
 with the department, giving in simple, concise language the results of investiga- 
 tions and experiments, outlining methods of farm procedure, and offering in- 
 structions and suggestions to practical farmers and those who may desire to be- 
 come such. Under the law four-fifths of all Farmers' Bulletins printed are 
 allotted to Senators, Representatives, and Delegates in Congress for distribu- 
 tion to their constituents, the remainder being reserved for distribution by the 
 department. 
 
 BUREAU OF STATISTICS. 
 
 Statistician and chief of bureau, VICTOR H. OLMSTED ; associate statistician, 
 NAT C. MURRAY ; assistant statistician and assistant chief of bureau, SAMUEL 
 A. JONES ; chief clerk, FRANK G. KELSEY. 
 
 The Bureau of Statistics issues the monthly crop reports of the Department 
 of Agriculture, prepares the statistical portion of the Yearbook, and makes spe- 
 cinl invesigations relating to agricultural statistics and agricultural economics, 
 for publication in bulletin form or in response to special inquiries. 
 
 The monthly crop reports, in their scope, give at appropriate seasons the 
 acreage, condition, production, quality and prices of corn, wheat, oats, barley, 
 rye, buckwheat, flaxseed, potatoes, hay, tobacco, rice, and cotton; the relative 
 condition during the growing season and the final production, compared with a 
 full crop, expressed in percentages, of apples, blackberries, cantaloupes, cran- 
 berries, grapes, lemons, oranges, peaches, pears, raspberries, strawberries, 
 watermelons, asparagus, beans, cabbage, onions, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, 
 broom corn, hemp, hops, peanuts, sorghum, sugar beets, sugar cane, alfalfa, 
 blue grass, Canadian peas, cowpeas, clover, kafir corn, millet, timothy, and 
 pastures; yield per acre of cowpeas, kafir corn, apples, cranberries, grapes, 
 pears, hops, peanuts, sweet potatoes, sugar beets, and sorghum: they give the 
 stock of barley, corn, oats, and wheat on hand at stated periods, the number, 
 value, condition, losses by disease or exposure of live stock, and the average 
 weight per fleece of wool. 
 
 The statistics of acreage and production issued by this bureau are based 
 upon estimates, and not upon an enumeration, the main object being to present 
 early in the crop season approximately accurate statements of supplies before 
 the products have been entirely distributed or consumed. 
 
 The bureau compiles and tabulates, from official and commercial sources, the 
 world's production, by countries, of corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes, 
 rice, sugar, cotton, flax, tobacco, wool, hops, coffee, silk, and live stock, and 
 records and tabulates prices of the principal agricultural products in various 
 markets of the United States. 
 
 It also tabulates and coordinates statistics of agricultural production, dis- 
 tribution, and consumption, the authorized data of governments, institutes, so- 
 cieties, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, produce exchanges, trade jour- 
 nals, and individual experts. 
 
 Concise summaries of the monthly crop reports are given to the press and 
 telegraph companies at a specified hour, previously advertised, and thus dis- 
 tributed quickly throughout the country. Details are printed soon after in the 
 " Crop Reporter," designed for circulation among producers and consumers. 
 
 CROP REPORTING BOARD. 
 VICTOR H. OLMSTED, Chairman. 
 
 Monthly crop estimates for important crops are made by a crop-reporting 
 board, consisting of the chief of bureau as chairman, and four individual mem- 
 bers, selected from the officials of the bureau at Washington and from the spe- 
 cial field agents and State statistical agents, called to Washington on report 
 days for that purpose. Part of the personnel of the board is changed from 
 month to month. Thus the members of the board are selected from a corps
 
 44 ORGANIZATION OF IH.I'.M: I M K.\T OF AGRICULTURE, 1911. 
 
 of over 60 men, well trained .-mil thoroughly Informed as to crop conditions, 
 and as to tin- relative value and correctness of the \arious data upon which 
 the crop reports are based. The data upon which the monthly erp re| M> n 
 baaed are collected in qiiadni]>lii-ate. that Is, from four sources, Independent 
 of each other, and used as a check against each other, in a few inquiries 
 additional sources of information are utilized. Thus reports relating to 
 acreage and production of cotton are based upon returns from (1) field ap-nts; 
 (2) Stale statistical agents; (.'{) county correspondents; (4) township < 
 spondents; (C) ginners; (0) sj)ocial list, made up mostly of bankers, supply 
 men, etc. ; (7) individual farmers reporting for their own farms. 
 
 The members of the board during the calendar year 1910, in addition to the 
 chairman each month, were as follows: From the department at Washington, 
 Nat C. Murray, S. A. Jones, and George K. Holmes; from the Special Field 
 Service, J. J. Darg, J. P. Killebrew, T. C. Shaw. W. I. I'ryor, n. H. John-on 
 F. W. (list, H. T. Bradford, F. S. Plnney, J. W. Richardson. II. M. i;h 
 ' H. Kirk. A. S. Hitt, and F. N. Gray; and from State statistical agents, 
 W. A. Withers, W. J. Northen, Jefferson Johnson, W. C. Duncan. John Co 
 P. A. Rogers, T. J. Anderson, L. T. Moulton, C. L. Hare. K .! Lundy. A G 
 McCall, C. W. Allen, and H. E. Chynowlth. 
 
 DIVISION OF DOMESTIC CHOP REPORTS. 
 FEED J. BLAIR, statistical scientist, in charge. 
 
 The Division of Domestic Crop Reports handles the reports of various classes 
 of crop correspondents of the Bureau of Statistics throughout the United States. 
 Blank schedules are sent each month to correspondents, to be used by them in 
 making their reports regarding crop areas and conditions, quantities and quali- 
 ties of production, prices, live stock, etc., as indicated in the preceding descrip- 
 tion of the work of the Bureau of Statistics. These reports, when received, are 
 tabulated for the use of the statistician and the crop reporting board in com- 
 piling monthly estimates as published by the Department of Agriculture In the 
 Crop Reporter. At Intervals blank schedules are sent to cotton ginners, Indi- 
 vidual farmers, and special correspondents, to be used by them in making 
 reports regarding cotton, live stock, and the areas and quantities of various 
 crops, which are tabulated for use In the same manner as the reports referred to. 
 
 An important branch of the work of this division consists in keeping filled 
 the ranks of the bureau's crop correspondents, among whom numerous changes, 
 both in personnel and post-office addresses, occur from month to month. 
 
 The voluntary correspondents make reports on acreage, condition, and yield 
 of various crops, and on the numbers and values of live stock, from time to 
 time. 
 
 The chief of this division has charge of making such statistical computations 
 and compilations as are required for the use of the Bureau of Statistics and 
 occasionally for other bureaus of the Department of Agriculture which have 
 need of such work. 
 
 The mailing lists of the bureau are under the direction of the chief of this 
 division, who also has charge of receiving, assorting, and distributing the 
 voluminous dally mall of the bureau. 
 
 FIELD SERVICE. 
 
 The service outside of Washington consists of 20 special field agents, 47 
 State statistical agents, and about 150,000 voluntary correspondents. 
 
 SPECIAL FIELD SERVICE. 
 (Under immediate direction of chief of bureau.) 
 
 The special field agents are H. T. Bradford, J. J. Darg, S. D. Fessenden. 
 F. W. Gist, F. N. Gray, A. F. Hitt, Paul H. Kirk, Erwin T. Marchettl, George 
 L. Morgan, F. S. Pinney, W. L. Pryor, J. E. Woodworth, H. M. Rhoads, J. W. 
 Richardson, J. E. Rickards, T. C. Shaw, and B. C. White; special agent on rice. 
 De Lancey Evans ; special agent on tobacco, J. P. Killebrew. 
 
 Each special field agent systematically traverses the agricultural sections 
 of the United States within a certain designated district or group of States,
 
 STATISTICS BUREAU. 45 
 
 carefully notes the development of each important crop, keeps in close touch 
 with the best informed opinion throughout his district, and reports to the 
 statistician. The special agent on rice and the special agent on tobacco 
 traverse all portions of the United States in which the respective agricultural 
 products upon which they report are produced. 
 
 The State statistical agents maintain special corps of correspondents and 
 report to the statistician upon agricultural conditions for the States they repre- 
 sent. The majority are authorized to travel over their respective States at 
 least twice each year, thus keeping in close touch with their correspondents 
 and with agricultural conditions. 
 
 DIVISION OF PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION. 
 GEORGE K. HOLMES, statistical scientist in charge. 
 
 The Division of Production and Distribution has developed a scope of work 
 in directions heretofore little, if at all, explored. It has created a general 
 survey of agricultural conditions and accomplishments in the United States, 
 composed of the more important elements of production, in quantity and value ; 
 of national surplus, deficiency, and consumption ; of farm wealth and labor ; 
 and of economic achievement and agricultural progress. 
 
 The production of important agricultural commodities by the principal coun- 
 tries of the world below and above their respective requirements for consump- 
 tion, the sources of the supply of such commodities to deficient countries, and 
 the destination of the surpluses of exporting countries together constitute a 
 subject of unceasing popular interest which is receiving much attention in this 
 division. 
 
 The historical aspect of the agricultural production of the United States in 
 particular products and of the surplus or deficiency with regard to domestic 
 consumption has occasioned much painstaking and original work. 
 
 The trend of events in recent years has made the future supply of wheat a 
 world problem, and the subject has received and is receiving original treatment. 
 Meat supply also is a problem of world-wide concern, and a large amount of 
 varied information concerning it has been collected and published. Constant 
 efforts are made to bring to date the information concerning wheat and meat. 
 
 The transportation of agricultural products from farm to consumer by wagon, 
 rail, and water, and the costs and methods of marketing are subjects which 
 have been productive of much original work. It is accumulating much infor- 
 mation relating to farmers' associations on the cooperative plan for production, 
 selling, and buying; for fire, live stock, and other insurance; for warehousing, 
 for performing telephone service, and for promoting mutual helpfulness. 
 Matters of economic significance in the production of wealth on farms and in 
 the disposal of products afford a wide range for work in this division in many 
 directions which are not pursued by any other departmental office. 
 
 Along the lines of work pursued, the effort is to establish permanent results 
 of frequent utility to the offices of the Department of Agriculture, to the many 
 applicants for information outside of the department, and to the general public. 
 Most of the many bulletins issued from this division are of permanent use- 
 fulness and are in current demand; the many special articles that have been 
 prepared for the Yearbook by persons employed in this division are of con- 
 tinuing service; and the three score statistical tables contributed to the Agri- 
 cultural Statistics of the Yearbook are brought down to date annually and are 
 of permanent value. 
 
 This is an office of special research and investigation within a field not cov- 
 ered by any office in any other department. The following lines of work illus- 
 trate the activities of this division: The total quantity and value of agricul- 
 tural production yearly subsequent to the Federal census; an annual review 
 of agricultural production; the ascertainment of the national surplus of agri- 
 cultural products in quantity and value; a summary of the receipts in the 
 United States of the agricultural products of other countries and a determina- 
 tion of the farmers' international balance of trade. There are such inquiries 
 also as those relating to the movement from city to country, rural life and 
 ' agriculture, the wages of farm laborers in the United States, and the chro- 
 nology of United States agriculture. 
 
 In continuation of the foregoing may be mentioned a compilation of the 
 international trade of all countries in prominent agricultural products: the

 E. W. ALLEN, assistant director, and editor of Experiment ftntinn Record. 
 
 This office represents the department In Its relations with the agricultural 
 experiment stations maintained In all the States and Territories under the acts
 
 EXPERIMENT STATIONS OFFICE. 47 
 
 of Congress of March 2, 1887, and March 16, 1906. It supervises the expendi- 
 tures of the Federal funds granted to the stations under these acts and pub- 
 lishes information regarding their organization, equipment, resources, and work. 
 Its principal publications based on the work of the stations are in two series, 
 (1) Experiment Station Record and (2) Experiment Station Work. 
 
 Experiment Station Record, begun in 1889, comprises abstracts of the bulle- 
 tins and annual reports of the experiment stations in the United States, the 
 publications of the United States Department of Agriculure, books, journals, 
 and miscellaneous publications containing reports of investigations in agricul- 
 tural science in the different countries of the world; editorials on important 
 matters relating to the progress of agricultural investigation and science, sta- 
 tion administration, suggestions of lines of inquiry for stations, agricultural 
 education, etc. ; and notes on the organization, equipment, and development of 
 institutions for agricultural education and research at home and abroad. Each 
 volume of the Record consists of nine numbers and detailed author and subject 
 indexes. Two volumes are issued annually. This journal is sent without 
 charge to institutions for agricultural education and research in this country, to 
 the officers of such institutions, to similar institutions in foreign countries, to 
 important libraries, and to a select list of scientists and specialists who coop- 
 erate with the department. It is also sold by the superintendent of documents 
 at $1 a volume. 
 
 Experiment Station Work, which is published periodically (every two months) 
 in the Farmers' Bulletin series of the department, gives a popular summary "of 
 some of the more salient practical results of the work of the experiment sta- 
 tions and is distributed free of charge.

 DRAINAGE INVESTIGATIONS. 
 C. G. ELLIOTT, chief. 
 
 The drainage investigations of the office embrace the investigation of the 
 following subjects: (1) The best practical methods of removing surplus water 
 from lands having an agricultural value in both humid and irrigated sections; 
 (2) the protection of lands which are capable of being made productive, from 
 the periodical overflow of streams; (3) the reclamation of tidal lands which 
 may be made valuable for agriculture; and (4) the controlling and conservation 
 of the rainfall on hillside lands which are susceptible of tillage. 
 
 In order to cover adequately this general field, the work is carried on by three 
 different methods : 
 
 First. The examination and study of the drainage laws in force, and their 
 application in this and other countries, and of past and current drainage prac- 
 tice, with reference to the use of various methods and their success or failure 
 in solving existing problems in localities where drainage is an important factor 
 in agriculture; also the collection and systematic arrangement of known general 
 principles and descriptions of the best current drainage practice for the infor-

 mntlon and use of agricultural engineers and others upon whom the planning 
 and carrying out of drainage work devolves. 
 
 Second. Assisting fanners, communities, and districts In the initiation and 
 direction of dr:iin:i^e improvements, by extended examinations' and preliminary 
 surveys, if necessary, in ( >nler to determine the practicability of the desired 
 drainage and the best plan to be adopted for the work, such assistance being 
 rendered In representative localities for the purpose of encouraging and pro- 
 moting correct practice rather than for the purpose of lessening the preliminary 
 expense of those who incidentally profit by such assistance. 
 
 Thinl. The examination and experimental investigation of problems pertain- 
 ing to land drainage. c.,ncerning which there Is a lack of existing information.

 The Office of Public Roads collects data concerning systems of road manage- 
 ment and all phases of road Improvement, and makes comparative studies of the 
 subject ; Investigates methods of road building and maintenance, and furnishes 
 expert assistance to rural sections In road construction; tests road materials 
 and ascertains their location and comparative value; cooperates with schools 
 and colleges In highway engineering- instruction, and publishes information of 
 value concerning road improvement for free distribution. 
 
 The work of the office is mainly directed: (1) To the collection and compila- 
 tion of data In reference to systems of road management and to a comparative 
 study of such systems in order to determine the merits and defects of each as 
 far as possible, and to ascertain the causes of success or failure; (2) to obtain 
 full jmd accurate statistics on all phases of road improvement and present 
 them to the public in such forms as to constitute a practical basis for the deter- 
 mination of many points bearing upon the economics of road construction: 
 (3) to direct the efforts of rural sections along proper lines in actual road 
 building; and to this end highway engineers and road experts are detailed to 
 render service and cooperate with the local officials In the construction of short 
 sections of model roads, which frequently form nuclei of extensive systems of 
 improved roads; (4) to ascertain the location, availability, and comparative 
 value of road-building materials in all parts of the United States, for which 
 purpose laboratories are maintained in Washington to investigate the chemical 
 and physical properties of road materials and other materials of construction, 
 and to conduct experiments tending to increase facilities for road improvement 
 so far as materials are concerned; (5) to find practical solutions for the prob- 
 lems confronting large sections of country where, from lack of natural road 
 materials or from other causes, the cost of hard roads is now prohibitive. 
 Experimental roads are built to test substitutes for natural road materials. 
 and the question of long-distance transportation receives careful consideration : 
 MI. to direct more general attention to highway engineering in schools and 
 colleges throughout the United States, In order that an adequate number of 
 competent highway engineers may be prepared to carry on properly the vast 
 work of highway Improvement. The office Is endeavoring to keep In close 
 tourn with educational Institutions in this respect and to render every assist- 
 ance possible. In furtherance of this general plan a one-year port-graduate 
 course in highway engineering is conducted by the office, providing practical 
 laboratory and field Instruction and exercises. The advantages of this system 
 are mutual the student renders service to the Government and In turn receives

 a small money compensation and such training as will fit him to discharge in- 
 telligently the duties of his profession; (7) to investigate the comparative 
 effects of motor and horse traffic on various types of roads and to devise methods 
 of construction adapted to modern traffic conditions; (8) to cooperate with 
 agricultural colleges and experiment stations wherever practicable in order to 
 accomplish the purposes above outlined. In all States having State highway 
 officials the office acts in harmony with such officials; (9) to disseminate by all 
 available means information of value to the American people in connection with 
 the improvement of roads.
