Book excerpt: Excerpt from Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station: Report of the Director for the Year Ending October 31, 1930 A formal and complete report Of your Board to the Governor of the State is made annually. However, this is not completed until late in the year, and moreover, is not generally seen by the public. For the past 10 years it has been the custom to give a brief sum mary of the Station's work for the year, in a form which can be read by all who are interested. While much of the Station's work is fundamental and essential to the teaching Of the Agricultural College and the Extension Service, it is done quietly and does not attract public notice, so that the needs of the Station and the importance of its work may be easily overlooked. In addition to its work in agricultural research, this Station has become during the 55 years Of its life an agency Of. Public service, primarily agricultural, but serving in large measure all the Citizens of the State. Of first importance is the congestion in the laboratories, a condi tion that is seriously hampering every phase of the work with which the Station is Charged. The last addition to our plant was made in 1910, when a wing was added to the Johnson (main) laboratory. By 1919, the work and staff had so increased that the General Assembly appropriated for the erection of a laboratory on the Station grounds, to be used jointly by the Station and the State Board of Health. Unfortunately for us, before this building could be started, it was decided that the Board of Health Should remove to Hartford. Therefore this appropriation could not be used and it reverted to the State Treasury. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
