40 MARYLAND MANUAL

The Purnell Act also permits the appropriation to be used for con-
ducting investigations and making experiments bearing on the manu-
facture, preparation, use, distribution, and marketing of agricultural
products, and for such economic and sociological investigations as have
for their purpose the development and improvement of the rural home
and rural life.

The Maryland Station, in addition to the work conducted at the
University, operates a sub-station farm of fifty acres at Ridgely, Caro-
line County, and a farm of about sixty acres at Upper Marlboro for
tobacco investigations. Experiments in co-operation with farmers are
conducted at many different points in the State. These tests consist
of studies with soils, fertilizers, crops, orchards, insect and plant
disease control, and stock feeding.

The results of the Experiment Station work during the past quar-
ter of a century have developed a science of agriculture to teach, and
have laid a broad and substantial foundation for agricultural develop-
ment. The placing of agricultural demonstrations and extension work
on a national basis has been the direct outgrowth of the work of the
Experiment Stations.

The students taking courses in agriculture are kept in close touch
with the investigations in progress.
