Kentucky Agricultural ExpeMm·emt` Station 15
Additional farm land is required by the Experiment Sta-
tion. A farm of 243 acres is insufficient upon which to carry
out the various soil, crop and live-stock experiments. So long _
as this condition exists, the Station will be cramped for room
and it will be impossible to develop many branches of live-stock
investigations which are in demand by the farmers of the state.
New Projects. Each department, in determining its work T
systematically, outlines a certain problem or phase of a prob-
lem. This particular piece of work is designated as a project. _
Its purpose and the point at which it is carried on- are indi-
cated and a report on the progress of the investigation is made
from time to time. A final report is made upon its eomple-
tion and is published in the form of a seientine paper, bulletin
or circular. The following investigational projects were in-
itiated during the past year;
Experiments in calf feeding. A _
_ Experiments in the "up grading" and better manage-
ment of the type of hog found in the mountain districts of Ken-
tucky. ii _ _
Head lettuce investigations.
