sion at the present time, passed law
requiring the Secretary of Agriculture
to supervise the experiments much
more closely, and also coordinate the
experiments in different states.
During the past year Congress has
passed the Adams act which will
prove of great benefit to the Expert
ment Station, and, directly, to the
people of Florida In this Act an
additional $4,000 are appropriated
which is increased by $4,000 annually,
until it shall reach $4,000. This fund
is more closely guarded even than that
of the Hatch Fund. quote you from
this Act which approprtates the fund,
ITO be applied only to paying the
necessary expenses of conducting
original researches or experiments
Bearing directly ON the agricultural
industry of the United States, having
due regard to the varying cenditions
and .,snses tf the respective States and
Territories.
The term, ''original research might
be very general one were it not for
the fact that the Director of the Office
of Experiment Stations is held re-
sponsible for the interpreta ton of the
expenditure Of this fund The Direct
or Of the Office of Experiment Sta
tions has probably had more expert
ence in Experiment Station work than
any other living man, and consequent
ly is able to tell at a glance whether
a proposed piece of work is original
research, or whether it is a piece of
demonstrat ton work, or. what not.
In interpreting this law the Secre
tary of Agriculture has issued cir
cular letter in which he states:
Accordingly, expenses for admin
istration, care of buildings and
grounds, insurance, office furniture
and fittings, general maintenance of
the station farm and animals, yerff-
cation and demonstration experiments,
compilations, farmers Institute work
travelling, except as is Immediately
connected with original researches in
progress under this Act, and other
general expenses for the maintenance
of the experiment stations, are not to
be charged to- this fund. The Act
makes no provision fol" printing or for
the distribution of publications, which
should be charged to other funds"
I have taken considerable time to
show you exactly what are the essen
tial parts of the laws founding the
experiment stations, and also what
limitations are placed upon us. do
this from the fact that there seems to
be a general misinformation as to
what the office and privileges of the
experiment station is. Even our legis-

in such way as to make it possible
to meet the expenditures under the
conditions imposed by the Hatch Act.
Another serious condition that has
arisen is the fact that the amount of
appropriation, has not been increased
since the Inauguration of the expert
ment stations, and yet the living ex-
penses and supplies have nearly
doubled in prices. In some cases these
have more than doubled in price. This
is especially true of labor in the vicini-

Experiment Station. Among the first
of these cooperative experiments was
the one conducted in the fertilization
of pineappIes on the field belonging
to Mr. T. Y. Moore, at Jensen, Florida.
In this experiment Mr.. Moore furnish

the Experiment Station furnished the
fertilizer and made the application.
The crop was the property of Mr..
Moore, excepting that the Experiment

work proved to be so thoroughly sue

the writer was roundly criticised by
members of the Board of Trustees,
they found themselves in a. position
where his successor was permitted TO
carry out the exact line of work after
a year or two of interruption.
- In this connection allow me to say
that the members Of the Florida State
Horticultural Society have always
given the Experiment Station their
generous sympathy, and in: every way
pointed out to them, have co55operaltted
and helped us along in the most cor

bi-annually and even people higher in
authority have had erroneous impress
sions in regard to the essential parts
of the law. ~ Wv
The Hatch Act was passed in 1888,
and became operative in the same
year. This makes the experiment
station a little over II years DID, Dur
ing this time it has published "a bulle-
tins and several annual reports. Of
the "a bulletins 46 are devoted to
horticultural work directly, and por~
tons of the remaining 38 are also de
voted to horticultural work; and also
large part of many of the annual
reports From this you will see that
the horticultural interests of the state
have been we'll looked after. This is
especially so in more recent years.
Taking the last ten years we find that

cultural matters, most of these being
q fully illustrated. In the last five
years % bulletins have been published
on horticultural matters, Some of
these have been profusely illustrated
If no other bulletins had been publish
ed from the experiment station within
the last five years than those published
on horticultural subjects, the require
ments of the law, so far as publica-
tions were concerned, would have
been more than met. r
The matter contained in these bulle-
tins in the most cases, has received
worldwide attention. @ yo
The pineapple growers of Florida
have at their disposal the most thor
oughly reliable scientific publication
on their special subject that has been
published anywhere i'm the world
Within the present fiscal year two new
bulletins on this subject have been
issued which many of you will find

From the beginning the Experiment
Station has had an appropriation OF
$15 900 year. During the seventeen
years of it's life, the State Of Florida
has not appropriated anything toward
equipment and maintenance Of. this
institution Consequently what it has
done has been accomplished, entirely
on Federal appropriation. This, of
course, is much to be regretted, es-
pecially from the fact that, if, addi-
tional funds from the state had been
accessible it would have been possible
to have erected very suitable buildings
and to undertake much more ielabora
and useful experiments than it has
been possible i'm the present condl-
tons. Frequently in planning ex-

Florida. State horticultural Society, in
Jacksonville, May, 1906.
In beginning my talk on the Expert
ment Station Cooperative work, can
not do better than to show how the
purposes for which the Experiment
Station was founded, is frequently
misjudged, and in many quarters not
understood. So much work has been
done with the Horticultural Society.
as society, and with the different
members of the Society, personally,
that nearly everyone in my hearing is
probably better Informed than the best
Informed outside the Horticultural
Society In 1887 Congress provided
for the Experiment Station by passing
the Hatch Act. To show concisely
what was intended by the Hatch Act,
I will quote you Section verbatim:
Section 2. That it shall be the OBJ
ject and duty of said Experiment Sta
tons to conduct original researches OF
experiments on the physiology of
plants and animals; the diseases to
which they are severally subject, with
: the remedies for the same; the chemi-
cal composition of plants at their diff
ferent stages Of growth; the compara-
tive advantages Of rotative cropping
as pursued under a varying series of
crops; the capacity of new plants or
trees for acclimation; the analysis of
soils and water; the chemical compo-
sition of manures natural or artificial,
with experiments designed to test
their comparative effects on crops of
different kinds; the adaptation and
value of grasses and forage plants;
the composition and digestibility of
the different kinds of food for do
mestic animals; scientific and econo
mic questions involved in the produc
tion of butter and cheese; and such
other researches or experiments bear
ing directly on the agricultural in
dustry of the United States as may in
each case be deemed advisable, having
due regard to the varying conditions
and needs of the respective states and
territories.
This, as you will see, makes a very
clear cut statement of what the funds
are to be used for. Thus, things
which are not provided for in this
Act are necessarily not contemplated
and not permissible under it. The
