Agricultural Experiment Station. To state it briefly and in one sentence—the object of the Experiment Station is to acquire and to diffuse useful agricultural knowledge. This is the ideal toward which every earnest member of the staff is working. The first question to be considered when a problem is submitted is whether it will add to the fund of knowledge, and then the second, will it be to the farmer or horticulturist? These two questions must be answered in the affirmative so definitely that there can be no doubt in the mind of a reasonable person. The Congressional Act establishing the Experiment Stations further states that this useful knowledge shall be disseminated through the means of printed bulletins and annual reports. The aims and objects of the Experiment Stations are thus very definite. The methods for accomplishing them arc left to the staff. The efficiency of the staff, therefore, determines the efficiency of the Experiment Stations. In the best institutions of this kind the individual members of the staff arc experts in their particular line and know the facts connected with their particular work better than anyone else. Wiiat Is An Experiment? The question as to what is an experiment is quite generally misunderstood. It is not uncommon for a demonstration to be called an experiment. In fact it is quite usual to use the term experiment in the laboratories of instructional institutions to designate what is called a demonstration in an investigational one. The Experiment Station being an investigational institution restricts the meaning of experiment to those operations that have for their object the acquiring of unknown truths. The general laws and regulations define the term experiment so clearly that there need be no doubt as to what is meant. The Congressional Act of 1887 established an Exj criment Station in every State and Territory in the Union. This step led to the simultaneous founding of about fifty Experiment Stations in the United States, calling for not less than five hundred trained workers. Under the conditions it was found that the workers were not in the country, but had to be trained. After about twenty years of work, it was found that a fairly competent corps of Experiment Station workers had been trained for the work. Much time and money was lost in hiring efficient and untrained men to do the work of specialists. We now have in the United States a larger number of well organized Experiment Stations and a larger number of scientifically trained agricultural experts than arc found anywhere else in the world. Many of the European countries still arc immeasurably ahead of us in the number of Experiment Stations 27
