Agricultural Research In New Hampshire PDF Download

Excerpt from Agricultural Research in New Hampshire: Annual Report of the Director of the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station for the Year 1933 The necessity for a foundation of reliable and up - to-date information upon which to build an agricultural program in this state has never been more evident than during the past year. The new deal with all the various economic and social changes which it has involved has called for many types of information. The need for many new projects in agricultural research is evident, particularly in the field of Agricultural Economics where it is most fortunate that we have the advantage of several years of investigations made possible by the Purnell Act. In the meantime, the many projects already under way in various depart ments press for solution. The following report of the experimental work in the past year is by no means complete, and does not take into account the patient work on many projects on which data are not yet completed, nor the vast amount of state service work, correspondence, consultations, special assistance, lectures, etc., which the staff has been requested to make. These annual reports are designed to present a picture of some of the more important results which have come out of the various projects during the year. Among the completed projects are the Purnell Studies of Potato Mar keting, Hay and Silage Production Costs, Dairy Farm Rotation on worn-out Hay Lands, Study of Retail Milk Markets in Laconia, and the Adams project, Study of Burgundy Mixtures and Their Effect on Plants. New projects being developed involve the Study of the Penetration of Ovicides, Effect of Mulching and Development of Bitter Pit in Apples, Pneumatic Traction Equipment and Heat Requirements for Brooding of Chicks. This year has seen a valuable development in the renovation of the old dairy barn, and the installation there of offices and laboratories in Agricultural Engineering. This work is being developed under the charge of W. T. Ackerman Who is employed by the Experiment Station to develop the study of Rural Electricity.
