EXPERIMENT STATIONS
STATEMENT BY DR. HARRINGTON
AS TO THEIR GOOD.
APPROPRIATION OF $25,000
Annually Made by Thirty first Legis-
lature for Their Maintenance
and Support.
College Station, Tex. The following
statement lias been given out ny Dr.
11 H Harrington, director of Texas
experiment stations
"The recent law passed by the Thir-
ty first legislature establishing addi
tioual experiment stations, provides
that 'two of these stations shall lei
established west of the ninety-eighth
meridian, one of which shall be in
w "st Texas, and one in Northwest Tex
as one shall be located in what is
known as the black land bell, in Ceu-
iral or northern Texas, and one shall
be In the rice belt of South or South-
east Texas, and at such other points
as the board shall designate.' \n ap-
propriation of $2:>,000 annually Is inudn
for the maintenance and support of
such stations. It is probable, there
fore that at least live new stations
will be established, and perhaps more,
since $r>,uuo per year will be sufficient
for each station when land is donated
by lease or sale, even vfithout. any ad-
ditional bonus, but it is probable that
most of the competing places will con-
tribute something more than the land
"The law provides for experiments
in agriculture and horticulture ami
feeding and fattening of live stock for
slaughter Thus a distinct rocognitIon
is given the live stock Industry of the
state, although the dairy Industry U
not Included. There is mud. valuable
work that can be done by these sub-
stations. and their influence on agricul-
ture will be of far reaching import-
ance.
"Some of the stales, not comparable
with Texas in variety of soil, climate
conditions or agrit ultural resources,
are .'pending more than twice the an-
nual amount which Texas Is preparing
to spend Mtit Texas bus made a good
beginning, and it Is greatly to the crcd
it of the Thirty first legislature to have
given this substantial recognition to
the farmers of the state
"It is expected that l>ot-i "he rlco
and sugar industries of South Texas
will be let ogniz.i d In the work of the
stations, and there is no doubt but
that these Inter.-sis can be materially
aided in the prosecution of ih. ii work
The new law cannot attempt or
contemplate the removal of tin cen-
tral station from the A and M College
of Texas oi the transfer of it~ man-
agement from oin board to another,

tin correspondents and which . port
