Fig. 1. The Experiment Station Building. The Experiment Station was founded primarily to develop, through investigation and research, new information about agriculture. Facts must be discovered before they can be taught. The main Station building contains the headquarters and laboratories for the administration of the work of the Station. The work itself is conducted on the farms, in the fields, herds, and orchards of the State as well as in the offices and laboratories at Purdue
of the State and to other interested persons without cost, through the Station publications, and in more recent years and in increasing measure are brought directly to the farmers of the State through the splendidly effective organization of the Department of Agricultural Extension.
The Station Staff is studying the agricultural problems of the State from the viewpoint of the practical farmer as well as of the scientific investigator and it is by combining the experience of both that the Experiment Station can be of the greatest service.
