Excerpt from Report of the Director of the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station: July 1, 1951-June 30, 1952 This publication presents the 64th annual report of the Director of the. Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of New Hampshire, and is a summary of the results on some eighty projects for the period July 1. 1951, to June 30, 1952. The brief individual project summaries were prepared by the respective project leaders. The material presented herein is organized by departments and not specifically by subject matter. The. Introduction of new projects and the termination of old ones are constantly taking place. A special effort is made to serve the agricultural interests of the state through both fundamental and applied research. With the limited funds available it has not been possible to respond to all requests for specific research or to meet all the needs of agriculture. We try, however, to use all our resources effectively and efficiently. Our research workers are informed about agricultural problems through their frequent contacts with farmers. Moreover, in meeting with other professional people and through the services rendered by the Office of Experiment Stations, they become acquainted with the results of research throughout the country. It is neither necessary nor feasible to duplicate much of the work done at other stations, ex cept as the results are not applicable under New Hampshire condi tions. Costs of research have increased greatly, thus making it all the more necessary to select only the most important problems for investigation.
