ton of the results of Investigations
made so that farmers can be taught to
make the best use of discoveries. Aid
from the States is necessary for this
work. Much encouragement has been
afforded by the liberality displayed by
the States as the Importance of the
work conducted by the stations be-
comes more apparent.
In some instances politics have had
baneful influence on the stations,
causing unreasonable changes in the
membership of the governing boards
and the removal of efficient officers.
The results of experiments in Alaska
are encouraging, as several sorts of
grain and garden vegetables have been
successfully raised.
The Hawaiian Islands now present a
new field for experiments, says the re-
port, and the question of their agri-
cultural development is an important
one. An experiment station is already
in existence there, having been estab-
lished at Honolulu in 1895 by an asso-
citation of Hawaiian sugar men.
