  _   l entomology under Professor Garman included a wide range  `
  _   l of subjects, such as the brown rot fungus of plumsflpeaches,  
;   l apples and cherries; the bitter rot fungus of apples; the  j-J
    l apple scab fungus; the black rot of tomatoes and methods of »

      beetle, together with a description in all cases of the  fi
    proper method wherewith to control the ravages of these    
<_{._`,  V various insect pests. The chemical work of the Experiment we    
  i Station included not only analyses of a largenumbey Of    
  l fertilizers and various agricultural products, but also a his 
  great deal of work in cooperation with the Association of _
  , Official Agricultural Chemists, looking to improvements in
    T the methods employed in the analysis of fertilizers, feeding .
  l stuffs, insecticides, etc., etc., and in a very careful and ex- Kr
  haustive investigation and adaptation of the Kjeldahl method ‘
  for the determination of nitrates. The writer of this humble h
  tribute to the memory of Dr. Scovell recalls from personal
  Observation, the UlOd€St béglfilliflgs Of the i Experiment
  Station. A single basement room in the east corner of the  
  old main building had been set apart to its use. This room L
  was partitioned off into three small rooms, designed respect- j
  ively for office, laboratory and weighing room. In the old  
  chemistry building, the Experiment Station occupied the
