1902.] PROCEEDINGS OP THE BOARD 0E TRUSTEES. 37® No new organization was created under the provisions of this act except the advisory committees, the University doing its work by extending the old organization and increasing the number of employees. At this writing the act has been in operation less than eighteen months, yet exceedingly important work has been accomplished in all the lines provided for, perhaps with the single exception of the sugar beets in which progress has only been fairly satisfactory. The nature and scope of this work is best set forth Nin the bulletins and circulars that have already been issued, which are as follows: Bulletin No. 66, November, 1901. Individual Differences in the Value of Dairy Cows. Bulletin No. 67, December, 1901. Apple Scab. Bulletin No. 68, January, 1902. lmportants Deatails of Spraying. Bulletin No. 69, February, 1902. Apple Rots in Illinois. Bulletin No. 70, April, 1902. Canker of Apple Trees. Bulletin No. 73, June. 1902. Comparison of Silage and Shock Corn for Wintering Calves Intended for Beef Production. Bulletin No. 74, June, 1902. Standard Milk and Cream. Bulletin No. 75, July, 1902. Standardization of Milk and Cream. Bulletin No. 76, July, 1902. Alfalfa on Illinois soil. Bulletin No. 77, July, 1902. Bitter Rot of Apples. Bulletin No. 78, July, 1902. Market Classes and Grades of Cattle with suggestions for Interpreting Market Quotations. Circular No. 43, February, 1902. Field Work with Bitter Rot During 1901. Circular No. 44, February, 1902. Fruit Storage Experiments. Circular No. 58, July, 1902. Prevention of Bitter Rot. This represents but a small portion of the* work actually finished and in preparation for the press, and a still smaller proportion of the real advance made in investigation along agricultural lines of special interest to Illinois. The provisions of this aot make this the most heavily endowed Agricultural Experiment Station in the world, and it should in good time exert a profound influence upon the agriculture of the State, Results up to date have exceeded expectations, and so far as is known to the writer all parties involved are thoroughly satisfied. Since the issuse of last biennial report the Agricultural Experiment Station has issued bulletins Nos. 60-78, inclusive, two annual reports, and circulars Nos, 26-60, inclusive. E. DAVENPORT, Director Agricultural Experiment Station.
