igortf) Carolina Agricultural experiment Station Tlie Experiment Station was cstiiblished primarily to conduct investigations in agriculture, iiorticulture, stock and poultry raising, and dairj ' ing, in tlie field, laboratory and barn, and to give the results of these ex- periments to the farmers of the .State by means of bulletins, lec- tures at farmers ' meetings, cor- respondence and in such other ways as might prove expedient. Since its establishment in 1877, the Station has done much in giving out definite information in regard to soils, crops, fertih- zers, feeds, noxious insects, weed pests, plant diseases, stock rais- ing and dairying. Some years ago the Station was instrumental in introducing the growth of crimson clover into the State as a winter soil piotector, improver, and hay crop. Visitors are always welcome to inspect the progress of the Station along its several lines.
