REPORT OF BOTANIST.
Dr. Wm,. LeRoy Broun, President:
SIR :-I have the honor to submit herewith the annual
report of the work accomplished during the past year
(1895) in the department under my charge.
Among the additions made to the department 
in 1895
may be mentioned:
1. Bernhard's Drawing table made by 
the Zeiss Op-
tical Company of Germany.
2. Zeiss' New Mechanical Stage for microscope 
Ia.
3. Zeiss' Projecting eye-pieces.
4. Bausch & Lomb's microtome.
5. Bausch & Lomb's paraffin bath.
6. Folding Kodak with Clark's lens and Bausch 
&
Lomb's diaphragm shutter, adapted for 4x5 glass 
plates
as well as cut and roll films.
7. Colt's Automatic electric lamp to fit Colt's 
lantern
already in the possession of the department.
8. 400 species of pressed plants from Alabama 
and
Florida.
During the past season the following seeds 
were
planted in the Botanical Garden and many notes 
were
secured from the results of the cultivation and 
harvest-
ing:
157 varieties and species of grasses and foreign 
plants.
94 foreign vegetables and field seeds.
9 varieties of foreign millets.
5 foreign fruit trees.
8 native and foreign nut trees.
10
30 varieties of foreign cottons-15 of these were
panted the season before and the second crop of cotton
was gathered in 1895-15 were cultivated for 
the first
time The cultivation of this foreign cotton has been
conducted for the purpose of securing acclimated seeds.
93 varieties of native cotton seeds, the results of five
years experiments in crossing.
52 varieties of cotton seeds secured by crossing the
native forms with the foreign cotton of second year cul-
tivation.
11 ornamental plants, most of which are foreign, con-
sisting of shrubs and trees.
From the data secured from the above planting in the
Botanical Garden four bulletins have been partially writ-
ten and will be submitted for publication within the
next month or two. One on the cotton experiments;
one on certain valuable foreign plants suitable for intro-
duction; one on foreign millets; one on grass cultiva-
tion.
Early in the year a quantity of seeds were distributed
among the farmers of the State. These seeds were care-
fully selected from those found valuable last season;
among the number were:
Ragi millet (eleusine corocana).
Kodo millet (paspalum scrobiculatum).
New Japanese buckwheat.
Some of the best forms of the cotton secured by cross-
ing.
The following extracts are taken from some of the
letters sent to the department from those fa.mers who
gave the planting and cultivation of the seeds careful
consideration. These extracts indicate that the results
secured here at the Experiment Station in the crossing
of the cotton have pointed to the permanent establish-
ment of some of the valuable features of the cotton viz:
11
maturity of the fibre, length of fibre and increased yield
of the lint.
"The cotton you sent me last spring was planted and
cultivated after the usual order. One variety" (Petit
Gulf X W. A. Cook) "if I mistake not, is a superior
cotton, in that it is earlier, stood dry weather better
without shedding, in fact is a better cotton than any we
have seen." R. H. Cross. (Letohatchee).
"The land upon which the test was madewas poor
gray up-land, cleared about five years ago, and would
produce about 500 pounds of seed cotton per acre. I
planted the improved seed May 1st. 2 feet apart in the
row. The cool weather of May 18th. reduced the stand
to about I- of a crop. June 21st the cotton was knee
high and beginning to form squares. On July 10th the
plants were three feet high; and the first bloom opened
July 16th. I planted only . of an acre and fertilized at
the rate of 500 pounds per acre. The yield was 279 lbs
seed cotton from the 4 acre or 1116 lbs per acre or 372
lbs of lint cotton. I sold this cotton at 7- cents per
lb." H. H. Pitts. (Rock Mills, Ala.)
Another farmer states that the cotton produced more
than any other cotton in his section although the season
was very unfavorable for the crop. He also stated that
the plants grew taller and developed more fruit limbs than
any other varieties, and the plant was in every way much
more healthy-than the ordinary forms cultivated by the
farmers in that part of the State.
"In regard to the results of experiments with the Ragi
millet I have to say that I sowed the' seed in drills three
feet apart and 50 yards long, on the 18th of April. Land
was red mulatto, top soil underlaid six inches below with
firm tenacious clay. Fertilized last year with barnyard
manure and cotton seed. No fertilizers used this year.
I obtained a fair stand. Soon after plants appeared I
12
shaved either side with hoe and as soon as practicable
thereafter plowed with 18 inch sweep. In two weeks
later I again plowed with 22 inch sweep which was all
the cultivation I gave it. It grew from three to five feet
high. I did not feed any until after the seed matured,
when I cut off the heads and fed the stalks to my colts,
both in green and in cured state. They ate it up clean and
seemed to relish it very much. Some of the stems were
as large as a man's finger-yet the colts ate every part
of it." John W. Young. (Luther's Store).
The following tabular statement shows the results
secured at the Experiment Station in Auburn, with the
same kind of cotton seeds distributed among the farmers
of the State. The land is poor and consists of a sandy loam
containing very little clay, yielding with the ordinary
cotton about bale to the acre. The fertilizers were ap-
plied at the rate of 200 lbs per acre. The crop was
chopped to a stand of 2 feet in the row with rows three
feet apart. The amount of land in cultivation was
slightly above - of an acre. There were 2828 stalks on
this land, or at the rate of 4242 stalks of cotton to the
acre. The season was not very favorable for cotton
growth, otherwise the results might have been much
more satisfactory. The plants were uniformly healthy
and free from the attacks of disease, while on the ordi-
nary cotton in other portions of the farm rust was very
bad and destructive. The leaves on the improved cotton
were of a deep green color and the limbs were well
fruited :

A more elaborate discussion of the results will be
found in the bulletin soon to be issued, and already re-
ferred to in another part of this report.
Considerable progress has been made in compiling and
writing the Botany of Alabama begun some time since.
This work. will be issued in parts and in such shape so
that when completed the whole may be bound readily
into a volume which will give the families in botanical
sequence. Part I will be ready for the printer sometime
within the coming month.
Other parts will follow as rapidly as the material can
be prepared. It was my pleasure to begin the prepara-
tion of this Botany of Alabama prior to 1887 but the de-
struction of the Museum by fire that year lost the 
Institu-
tion a valuable herbarium rich in plants collected from
06Ari
14
Alabama by Prof. Darby, Prof. Thornton, Prof. Stubbs
and myself.
The Station Library has steadily grown since my last
report and we now have on the shelves the most import-
ant periodicals relating to science published in this coun-
try and abroad. A large number of these journals have
been bound during the year amounting to 165 volumes.
Besides these periodicals there has been also bound 85
volumes of the bulletins and annual reports received
from the various State Experiment Stations in the
United States.
Respectfully,
P. H. MELL,
Botanist.
REPORT OF CHEMIST.
Dr. Wm. LeRoy Broun, President:
SIR :-I beg leave to submit the following statement
with regard to the operations of the chemical depart-
ment for the year just closed.
From the date of filing the last annual report up to
this time, 480 quantitative analyses have been performed
in this laboratory, in additon to a large number of quali-
tative examinations of waters, marls, mucks. clays and
other materials of interest, or value from an economic
standpoint.
Fertilizers have constituted, as usual, the chief bulk
of our quantitative work, but there have also been in-
cluded analyses of feed stuffs, soils, marls and natural
phosphatic deposits occurring within the State.
Analyses of foreign forage plants, tested experimentally
in the botanical plats of the station, have also been made
with a view to determining their nutritive values as
compared with our ordinary domestic feeding stuffs.
A number of analyses of different varieties of sugar
beets were also made during the latter part of the past
summer, though the results of the chemical tests were
not at all encouraging.
Although quite a high sugar content in one or two
varieties was secured early in the season, a rapid de-
terioration set in soon thereafter, and the -beets failed of
maturity on account of the presence of nematodes in
such great abundance.
In co-operation with the "Division of Nutrition Inves-
tigations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture,"' this
16
department, during the past summer, conducted a series
of investigations as to the character and quality of the
principal food materials consumed in the State of Ala-
bama, at the same time supplementing by analytical
work performed in this laboratory, some dietary experi-
ments conducted by Prof. Washington of the Tuskegee
Institute.
The foods and food materials included all of the prin-
cipal meats in use, embracing both domestic meats, and
those imported from western markets, the principal
cereal products, and most of the articles of country pro-
duce commonly found upon our markets.
The experiments in the employment of improved
methods in the manufacture of syrup 
from sugar cane,
commenced in the fall of 1894, have been continued dur-
ing the past season, and it has been demonstrated that
a change in the present crude methods employed in syrup
making and in the preservation of syrups, will not only
materially improve the quality of the product, but will
enable it to be kept on the markets for a much longer
period than heretofore,
Two bulletins have been issued by this department
since the publication of the last annual report, viz: a
bulletin entitled "Fertilizers Commercial and Domestic,"
which was published in February, 1895, and a bulletin
on "Cane Syrup," which was issued in October.
In addition to these publications, the annual Fertilizer
bulletin for the State Department of Agriculture was
prepared and published in July of the past year.
The investigation of the composition and nutritive
-value of foods and food materials, in co-operation with
with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, is being con-
tinued, and a series of experiments is just being com-
--menced w-ith a ,iew to securing some means fpr the pre-
i~-va1on-:of- the.-sieet- potato for use as afood:mat eyal
17
throughout a longer 
period of the year 
than heretofore.
Respectfully submitted,
B. B. Ross,
Chemist of Experiment 
Station.
REPORT OF VETERINARIAN,
Dr. 11nm. Leroy Brown, Pres.:
DEAR Sin :-The following is a brief statement of the
work done during the year 1895:
In November this department issued a bulletin on Bo-
vine Tuberculosis. The subject was considered in its
relation to public health in the human family and in its
relation to the cattle industry of the State. The history
of tuberculosis, the relative number of deaths from it,
its prevalence among the white and black races and
among domestic animals, its cause, its symptoms in cat-
tle, its methods of transmission, and how to recognize
tuberculosis in cattle were discussed.
Suggestions were made relating to the duty of the
State, the cities, the dairymen and the individual in order
that tuberculosis may be eradicated both in man and
domestic animals. The chief object of the bulletin was
to awaken public interest and thus secure aid in deter-
mining a definite idea of the extent of tuberculosis among
the cattle of the State.
In our pathological and bacteriological laboratory, a
study of the surface or skin tumors, that are so common
on mules and horses in Alabama, has been started.
Practical and simple methods of treatment of these
tumors have been tested; in this we have been quite
successful. A full report on these subjects will be made
as soon as the work has been completed.
Two series of pig feeding experiments were conducted
during the year. The results of these two series and the
one of the previous year will be published early in 1896.
19
It has been the aim of the Veterinarian to lecture in
various parts of the State as often as his duties would
permit; but owing to a large increase of work at the
college and station the number of farmers' lectures were
less this year than in previous years.
The work of examination of cases and testing new
remedies and lines of treatment has been greatly extended.
During 1895, we examined and treated 581 cases.
Special effort has been made to collect plant and ani-
mal parasites that live upon or in domestic animals.
Also, a number of interesting and valuable pathological
and anatomical specimen have been added to our museum.
Our laboratory has been improved as much as the limited
means at our disposal would permit.
Respectfully submitted.
C. A. CARY.
REPORT OF BIOLOGIST.
DR. WM. LEROY BROUN, President.
SIR :-I have the honor to submit the following report
of the work of the department of Biology during my
term of office thus far:
I received notice of my appointment to the position of
Biologist of the Experiment Station late in September,
1895, and reached Auburn October 1st. My arrival
therefore was after the growing season was largely pass-
ed and comparatively little opportunity existed for study-
ing the diseases of growing plants. Only by inference
can I give any report for the portion of the year prior to
my arrival since no records other 
than those already
published have been placed in my hands. I have how-
ever made a short series of observations on (1.) The
diseases of cotton, (2.) On the prevalence of nematode
root-galls on various cultivated and naturalized plants
with a view of ascertaining what plants are not affected.
(3.) On the diseases that are at work on the grape vines
on the station farm.
Considerable time has also been given to the collection
and identification of the parasitic fungi found on the
native and cultivated plants of the vicinity of Auburn
and considerable additions have been made to the col-
lection belonging to the department. It is my purpose
to extend this work largely during the coming year and
include a systematic and economic study of the fungous
flora of Alabama, since comparatively little is known of
the extent and character of the rich cryptogamic flora of
Alabama, or for that matter of any portion of the states
bordering on the Gulf of Mexico. The collection of such
21
data and material will contribute directly towards a com-
plete biological survey of the State of Alabama which
ought to be included in the plans of the department for
the immediate future. While such a survey will neces-
sitate the co-operation of all the available scientific work-
ers in the state and require the work of years to place it
on its proper footing, it is desirable that such work as
can be commenced now be brought to bear on the ulti-
mate purpose of such a survey and be in line with the
work such a survey ought to accomplish. Besides the
general scientific bearing of such work, 
there are a num-
ber of lines of economic importance to be determined by
a better knowledge of 
the local cryptogamic 
flora.
Investigations are being pursued in the direction 
of
collecting data regarding the extent and distribution of
cotton diseases and the best method of treating them,
and also on the diseases of fruit which seem to be serious
in various portions of the state. Since no bulletin has
been issued from the station giving detailed methods of
treatment of fungous diseases of plants, other than cot-
ton, a bulletin for general information 
has been prepar-
ed jointly by this department and the department of
Horticulture giving (1) A general statement of the na-
ture of fungous diseases and (2.) The best methods
known for the specific treatment of the diseases known
to be most prevalent in the state affecting the leading
agricultural and horticultural products. This bulletin
is ready for publication and is intended to serve as a
general guide for farmers and fruit and truck growers to
the intelligent use of fungicides.
One lecture has been 
given on the fungous 
diseases of
fruit, at Citronelle, Mobile County.
Respectfully submitted,
L. M. UNDERWOOD,
Biologist.
AUBURN, January, 1896.
REPORT OF AGRICULTURIST.
DR. WM. LEROY BROUN, President.
SIR :-The following statement of the work done by
the Agricultural Department of the Experiment Station
in 1895 is compiled from the record books which were
put in my possession Jan. 1, 1896. The work was all
conducted by Prof. A. J. Bondurant, who discharged the
duties of agriculturist till the date named above.
Twenty-seven varities of tobacco, 20 of cotton, 19 of
corn, and 11 of cowpeas were tested. The other experi-
ments with field crops were a test of intercultural appli-
cations of fertilizers to cotton and a comparision of a
compost with a mixed commercial fertilizer on cotton.
Under the supervision of this Department 27 lots of
fertilizers were sent to farmers in as many portions of the
State to test the effect of heavy applications of commer-
cial fertilizers on corn. This Department also exercised
some supervision over tests of seeds furnished by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Determinations of the amount and quality of milk pro-
duced by the individual cows of the Station herd were
made.
The following bulletins were issued by this Depart-
ment during 1895:
No. 59. Co-operative Soil Tests of Corn.
No. 64. Tobacco.
No. 65. Co-operative Seed Tests.
Respectfully submitted,
J. F. DUGGAR,
Acting Agriculturist.
AUBURN, ALA., Jan. 21st, '96.
REPORP OF HORPICULPURIST,
SIR: Having only taken charge of this department
January 1, 1896, none of the work for 1895 was under
my supervision. The records show that vacancies in the
old vineyard and plum orchard were filled. Ten or
twelve varieties of Japan Persimmons were planted.
.In the nursery the following were planted: 1000 peach
seedlings that were budded during the summer, 4160
grape cuttings which for some reason made a very poor
stand, 116 fig cuttings of 20 varieties from the Dept.
of Agriculture, 1067. apple root grafts.
In the vegetable garden a large number of kinds were
grown but no results suitable for publication were noted
except in a variety test with Irish potatoes.- These are
being prepared for publication with a Bulletin from the
Agricultural Department.
Respectfully 
,
F. 'S. EARLE ,
Acting Horticulturist.
