Excerpt from Report of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station for the Biennium Ending June 30, 1930 If agricultural production and distribution were a self-sufficient enterprise, limited within the confines of each state, our experiment stations might be institutions serving but their own commonwealths.

The lines of research must reach beyond the boundaries of states, particularly if regional and national problems are to be solved.

Excerpt from Service to Agriculture: Report of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station for the Biennium Ending June 30, 1936 Calves creep-fed grain on pasture during the suckling period and slaughtered at weaning time produced lighter-weight carcasses but dressed somewhat higher and were fatter or better finished than com parable calves fed no grain prior to weaning followed by grain with alfalfa hay in dry-lot for 116 days after weaning. These differences were shown by a summary of 3 years' work conducted in cooperation with the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The summary also indicated, among other things, that the roasted meat from the younger calves was slightly less tender, according to the mechanical test, and less juicy, according to the palatability committee, than the roasted meat from the older calves.

Excerpt from Report of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station: For the Biennium Ending June 30, 1932 Investigating the nature of soil acidity in its relation to plant growth. It has been found that aluminum in very low concentra tions may be toxic to plants. Soils from various locations in the state were studied and it was found that in general the more acid ones contained the more soluble aluminum. The use of lime on acid soils takes aluminum out of solution and therefore removes it as a source of plant injury.

Excerpt from Aiding West Virginia Agriculture Through Research: Report of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station for the Biennium Ending June 30, 1934 The period of economic distress of the past biennium has brought to the front as never before the value of accumulated reliable information pertaining to agriculture.
