REPORT OF DIRECTOR.
Dr. W n. LeRoy Broun, President:
SIR-I have the honor as Director of the Station to
submit the following report concerning the work under
my charge during the year 1901.
'The steady increasing popularity of the Station and
its work .among the farmers of Alabama is gratifying,
and there are constanit demands made on the office for
bulletins relating to such subjects as are of 'special
moment to the material advancement of Alabama agri-
culture. Letters have reacheld the Director's office dur-
ing the year 'askinig for information on topics relating
to or;chards, the lands and fertilizers suitable for the
successful cultivation of corn, cotton, grass, and other
forage plantis,, how to save hay, and the best plants
adapted ito making pastures; how to feed for beef and
milk 'an.d butter, 'the best breeds of stock for this cli-
mate, and how t'o take care ,of 'the fine grades of stock.
Parties living in other sections of the country north of
us have written many letters asking for all kinds of in-
formation concerning the State. In what portions are
the best lands located for fruit, raising hogs, market
gardens and the opportunities, for successfully cultivat-
ing anid ,disposing of all kinds of vegetables, the cli-
mate of the State, and numerous other like questions
which bear on the subjects of farming and the develop-
ment of homes. The in'creasing demand for information
on stock and the making of hay is exceedingly encour-
aging, and is a hopeful sign th'at the farmers are real-
izing at least the great advantage of diversified indus-
try, and the hopelessness of depending on the one crop
system. Most of the earlier bulletins relating to foi'-
age plants and to stock have been exhausted, and the
demand has not been ,4atisfied. There are many let-
ters on file in the Director's office speaking in high
terms concerning the estimates the farmers place on
the results of ithe work of the Station for their benefit.
They appreciate the fact that certain results of the long
conducted experiments at the Station have been the
means, of saving them many dollars, and the pasit year
they have read the bulletins more generally than in
any year since the estallishment of the Station.
The emailing list has rapidly grown during the year,
and in a lmost every mail letters come asking for bul-
letins, and to have names added Ito the list. The policy
of the Station has been not to burden the mailing list
with names simply to scatter the bulletin's, but we have
carefully avoided placing any name on 'the list unless
specia.lly requested ito do so. The number of parties
who are now regularly receiving the bulletins of the
Station is 8,933. The mailing list being encumbered
with many names of parties who were either deceased
or removed, it was decided to make a revision of the
same. Accordingly postal cards with return slips were
sent out notifying ithose to whom they were addressed
that the mailing list was being revised, and requesting
that if they wished to continue to receive the bulletin's
to so indicate it by reiturning the attached card, with
their names and addresses. Some years having elapsed
since this matter was attended to, the revision caused
quite a reduction in the number of names, due to the
death of the parties in many in'stances, 'and to the
changes in post offices o'f a number of others who for-
merly received the bulletins. 
There were something
over 1,500 names dropped from the mailing list because
of this revision. During the year there have been added
332
to the mailing list 750 names from Alabama and abroad.
M'any of the earlier bulletins of the Station have been
exhausted some time 'ago, and a number of the moee
recent ones have been greatly reduced, and at the pres-
nt rate of demniand they will also become exhausted
very soon. I would .advise, therefore, an increase in
the numbers printed of each bulletin.
The following synopsis of the bulletins issued dur-
ing 190.1 indicaltes the character of the experiments
conducted by the Station staff during the year:

BOTANJCAL EXPERIMENTS.
Dr. Wm. LeRoy Broun, President:
The experiments concerning grasses,'cultivated, native
and foreign, have been continued, and a large number
of species have been added to the collection, growing
in the Botanic Garden. A large number of shrubs,
ever greens and other trees, native and 'foreign, were
planted in the Arboretum during the year. And many
varieties of forest seeds have been planted for future
experiments in forestry.
335
The experiments :on the improvement 
of the cotton,
vhich have been under 
way for a number of years,
vere continued during 
the past season.

REPORT OF CHEMIST.
Dr. Vmn. LcRoy Broun, President:
SIR-The report of Dr. J. T. Anderson, 
Acting Chem-
ist of the Station, up to September 
1, 1901, covered
the work of the year up to that 
date, at which time I
resumed my duties as 
Chemist of the Station.
During ,the past few months, the time and 
attention
,of the laboratory staff has been devoted 
chiefly to mis-
cellaneous analytical work, including the examination
,of soils, marls, n atural phosphates, waters, ores, mis-
cellaneous minerals, etc.
A considerable amount of valuable analytical work
has been performed by Mr. Hare, First Assistant
Chemist, in connection with his duties 
as Referee on
Potash for the Association of Official Agricultural
Chemists, and some important results have 
been se-
cured which will no doubt lead to improvement 
in
the existing method of analysis.
Work upon the analysis of samples of forage crops
grown at the Station is in progress at this time, and
this department has also recently made a considera-
ble numnber of tests of varieties, of lard produced 
at
the Staition with a view of noting the influence of cer-
tain foods upon the character of the lard produced.
Mr. Phelps, one of the laboratory assistants, has in
progress a series of experiments to determine to what
extent nitrogen compounds are leached from the soil
336
by ,the winter rains. .,This question is quite an im-
portant one for investigation, as the soils in this
section by reason. of being denuded of vegetation
during the winter-month's, are 
liable to suffer greatly
from continuous exposure to the leaching effects of ithe
rains prevalent at this season. It is, therefore, hoped
that some results will be secured which will throw some
light upon the character and extent of the losses sus-
tained by the soils through leaching processes.
During the present year, it is designed to pursue
the study of ,several i'mportant questions-among oth-
ers, a further investigation of the normal constituents
of the sugar cane, this being a continuation of a line
of work commenced several years ago.
During the absence 'of the undersigned in Europe, sev-
eral Experiment Stations and Station Laboratories
were visited and inspected with a view to securing in-
formation with regard to their methods of investigation,
methods of analysis, their equipments, apparatus, etc.,
and some interesting notes and data were obtained for
use in Station work.
My thanks are due Dr. J. T. Anderson for his care-
ful and efficient conduct of the work of the Department
during my absence in Europe.
Very respectfully,
B. B. 
Ross,
CheMist.
REPORIT OF ASSOCIATE CHEMIST.
Dr. Win. LeRoy Broun, President:
SIR-I have the honor to submlit herewith my report
for the year 1901.
During the first eight months of the 
time embraced
in ithis report, viz., from January 1, to August 
31, in-
clusive, the Associate Chemist was Acting Chemist of
'the Station, the Chief Chemist, Prof. B. B. Ross, being
absent .on leave. During this time the chemical 
staff
was occupied chiefly with the fertilizer work. Eight
hundred and fifty-one samples of commercial fertilizers
were received from various sources and analyzed. and
in August the results of these analyses were issued as
Bulletin No. 15 by the 
State Department of 
Agriculture,
and a limited number of these were bound in the covers
o!f the Station Bulletins and issued by the Experi-
ment Station as Bulletin No. 115.
In addition to the fertilizer work, a considerable num-
ber of miscellaneous analyses were made for the other
departments of the Station, chiefly the Agricultural De-
partment, and the results were published in the bulle-
tins issued by these departments. These include analy-
ses of samples of peavines and roots, stable 
manures,
soils, butters and lards.
Since October 1 the Associate Chemist has been oc-
cupied exclusively with some experimental w'ork which
he has undertaken jointly with Prof. Duggar, viz.: A
Study of the Sources from which Leguminous Plants
Derive Their Nitrogen. This work has been in progress
for two seasons, 1900 and 1901, and was done in .the
vegetation house. Some fifty odd metal pots contain-
ing different kinds of soils with several kinds of fertil-
338
izers were required for the experiments. The chemical
data to be furnished by the writer are: the nitrogen
'contenit of each p o;t of soil as it was prepared for the
plants in the outset; the amount of 
nitrogen added
in the seed in planting; the amount of nitrogen added
with the water used for watering from time 'to time
throughout the season; the amount of nitrogen in the
harvested crop, both vines and roots, from each pot;
and, finally, the nitrogen content of 
the soil in each
pot after harvesting. With these data it is easy to de-
ter-mine, how mu.ch nitrogen the plants have gotten from
the soil and how much from the atmosphere.
Owing ,to preoccupation with other duties, the greater
part of this analytical ,work ifor the season o'f 1900 had
to be 'deferred, and has been done since October 1
last, 'and hence is embraced in this report. All the data
for 1901, also, will shortly be ready, when it is intended
to ,offer the results o;f the two season's work together
for publication in bulletin form.
Respectfully 
submitted,
JAS. T. ANDERSON,
Associate Chejmist.
REPORT OF VETERINARIAN.
Dr. Wum. LeRoy Broun, President:
SIR-The following constitutes a brief summary
of the work 'of the Veterinary Department for the year
ending December 31, 1901:
Farmers Institutes were held in the following towns
and counties:
Columbiana, Shelby 
county.
Jacksonville, Calhoun county.
339
Greenville, Butler county.
Fruithurst, Cleburne 
county.
Vinemont, Culliman county.
Th'orsby, Chilton county.
Seale, Russell 
county.
Union Springs, Bullock county.
Clayton, Barbour county.
Ozark, Dale county.
Geneva, Geneva county.
Andalusia, Covington county.
Athens, Limestone county.
Hartselle, 
Morgan county.
Cullman, Cullman county.
Ashville, St. Clair county.
Collinsville, Dekalb county.
Center, Cherokee county.
Arlington, Wilcox county.
Grove Hill, Clarke county.
The total attendance at these meetings was 1,028.
The average attendance at ea:ch meeting was 51.
As far as pos,3ible the institute forces were divided
in order that more places might be visited. At the
three fruit growing centers, Prof. Earle held meetings
by himself. Prof. Duggar, with three helpers, held six
institutes in the southeastern part of the State. Wi Aith
two assistants, I conducted 'the other eleven in'st itftes
that were held during the year. Profs. Duggar, Earle,
Hare, Austin 'and Clarke of Auburn have all done
efficient and faithful work in 'many of these institutes.
The attendance is 
not as large as it 
should be; yet the
great majority of those Who do attend are interested
farmers. In every instance where institutes have been
held a second time the attendance and interest have
improved. The territory covered this year embraces
440
nineteen different counties of Alabama; five more than
in any previous year without an increase of funds.
Bulletin No. 116 was issued by this department in
September, 1901. It embraces. the causes, symptoms,
'diagnosis and methods of producing immunity to Texas
fever. The results of the defibrinated blood method of
immunizing northern bred cattle to Texas fever, at
this Station and others, 'are given in this bulletin, The
newer and later methods of immunizing cattle to Texas
fever have proven very 'successful. In fa'ct they can be
employed with safety and profit. In all cases where
requests h ave come to the department I have inoculated
'susceptible cattle, charging only my actual expenses
'for the work.
This department has furnished tuberculin of its 'own
production to 'all cities and veterinarians in the State,
who h'ave applied for it and agreed to report the re-
'sults of 'the tuberculin .teststo the department.
Search is being continued for the cause of osteo-
porasis (big-head) in horses and mules. Also investi-
gations are being continued to determine why cotton
seed and cotiton seed meal are poisonous to pigs. Rec-
ords of the occurrence and search for the cause and
treatment of infectious cerebritis have been continued
during the past year.
As far a's possible records of all diseases that occur
among farm 'animals are collected in .order that the
department may be in touch with the diseases that are
peculiar to certain districts of the State and to certain
seasons of the year.
Respectfully submitted,
C. A. CARY,
Veterinarian.
REPORT OF THE AGRICULTURIST.
Dr. Win. LeRoy Broun, President :
SIm--I respectfully submit ithe following report of
the work of the Agricultural Department of the Ala-
bama Agricultural Experiment Station for the past
year:
Three bulletins have been issued and the prepara-
tion 'of three others has 'been begun.
The ititles of the bulletins published are a's follows:
No. 111.-Corn culture.
No. 113.-Co-operative experiments with cotton in
1899-1900.
No. 114.-Feeding experiments with dairy cows.
The work of the department with field crops has been
chiefly along the lines previously reported. However,
the work in animal husbandry has 'been extended as far
as our means permitted. The experiments with ani-
mals conducted during 1901 consisted of-
(1.) IComparison of a farm-grown versis the oil-
mill's ration for dairy -cows;
(2.) The substitution of vetch hay for wheat bran
in order to cheapen the ration of dairy cows;
(3.) Experiments with calves of the beef breeds to
determine the cost of producing beef and to compare
corn meal with rice meal;
(4.) Records of the growth made and of the food
eaten by the different individuals of our herd of beef
cattle to secure data on the cost ,of growing beef cattle;
(5.) Records of the amount of milk and butter and
'of ithe 'food consumed by each cow in our dairy herd,
so as to determine the cost of producing butter;
(6.) The substitution of cotton seed oil for butter fat
in the food of young calves;
.442
(7.) A continuation of the experiments in pork pro-
duction, including (a) grazing experiments with pea-
nuts and sorghum, (b) methods of hardening the flesh
and lard of pigs. which have grazed on peanuts, (c)
effects of feeding cowpeas, c'o'wpea hay, and cotton seed
meal to pigs.
In the dairy Mr. R. . Clark has made an important
disceovery of 'a means ,of getting rid of the bitter-weed
flavor in cream and butter. He has also done some
work to determine the degree of acidity at which cream
from cows fed on cotton seed can be most advan-
tageously 'churned, the propelr richness or thickness of
cream for most thorough churning, and has made care-
ful observations ,on the effects of our common foods on
the quality of butter.
In field work a number of experiments have been con-
ducited with o'tton, corn, oats, and w'heat. Most at-
tention has been given 'to corn.
A number of forage plants have been under test, cow-
peas and sorghum having the most prominent place in
our experiments.
In our co-operative 'soil tests, intended to learn the
fertilizer requiremen'ts of the principal soil !tests of the
State, cotton has 'been, as hereitofore, the principal test
crop; however, this fertilizer 'test has, in a number of
localities, been made with corn also, and, ip a few in-
'stances, wheat and Johnson grass have been the crops
employed in determining the 'seeds of the 'soil.
During the past year the writer hals conduceto ,e
usual large correspondence and has partLdpated in as
many of the Farmers' Institutes as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
J. F. DUGGAR,
Agriculturist.
REPORT OF THE BIOLOGIST 
AND HORTICUL-
TURIST.
Dr. 1V7,W. LeRoy Broan, 
President:
SiRt I have the honor to submit herewith the follow-
ing report on the operations 
of the department 
under my
direction. The prophetic character of this report 
finds
its cause in the fact that my connection with this in-
stitution dates from 1 October, 1901, only.
In the Horticultural Department my assistant, Mr.
C. F. Austin, has prepared f or publication as Bulletin
117 a paper entitled "Orchard Notes." It is evident
that ,these notes, detailing the results of the compara-
tive tests of many varieties in this region, will prove
of great value to persons engaged in, or about to en-
gage in, fruit culture in our State. It is the desire of
this department to foster and encourage in every man-
ner possible the rapid development of the horticultural
interests of our State. A valuable preliminary step
in this direction will have been taken when, a's a re-
sult of variety tests of a very extensive character, we
are able to give specific information regarding the pos-
sibiiity of growing orchard and garden crops in the
various parts. of the State.
As Vegetable Physiologist and Pathologist, I have
indertaken a very extensive study of the general physi-
oli and pathology of the many leguminous forage
plartP gron in Alabama and other States. Several
points regarding the biology of the organisms producing
the tubercles. on the roots of these plants are 
receiving
attention. It is my intention to make 'a thorough study
also of the diseases 'of these plants. For the elucida-
344
tion of all these points, extensive growing collections
of th.ese plants will be maintained this season.
Several important additions to our Herbarium were
made during the past year. In the future my attention
will be concentrated upon the State flora for the pur-
pose of building up here a. State Herbarium that shall
be fully representative of the interesting plant cover-
ing of the State. For this purpose much time is now
being devoted ,to the preparation of a card index of all
our collections in the State Herbarium. Each one of
th.ese ,cards bears a county map 
of Alabama, so that,
for each species, the geographical distribution over the
State, so far as substantiated by our oown ceollection,
may be plainly indicated. This index will serve to
indicate the profitable lines along which floristic and
ecological work should be conducted over our State.
Respectfully submitted,
E. MEAD WILCOX,
Biologist and Horticulturist.
