Nothing but the highest commenda-
ton of the work Of our agricultural
college and experiment station is heard,
and with the addition Of the new build-
ing for the veterinary department, II
will be better equipped than ever.
| In view of the fact that dairy products
make one-third of the total value of all
the agricultural products of the state,
it is earnestly to be hoped that the eX-
pertinent station at Amherst will not
fail to give the subject of dairying the
amount Of study and investigation
which the Importance Of the industry
demands.
Mr.. Jewett commended the stand of
the last state legislature on the taxa
ton question, and continued: The legls-
lation required to further exterminate
the gypsy moth is worthy the consider
| alton of the state grange. The import
ant question is whether it is possible to
eAtefmlnate this insect, or to simply
hold 1t in check, as has been the poll
cy of this state up to last year Prof.
l.. .. Howard was sent to this state by
the secretary of agriculture for a thor
ouSh investigation of the work In his
report he says:
nave no hesitation in stating the
work is beyond all praise. l cannot see
now the most critical person could go
over the ground now. especially if he
mad known the conditions three wears
ago, without expressing entire salts
factlon with the work which has been
done, and without being thoroughly
