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.
