The Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station
was established following passage of the Federal
Hatch Act in 1887. The Act made available to
the states grants-in-aid for the conduct of re-
search pertaining to agriculture and now both
State and Federal funds support these activities.
The administrative headquarters are located on
the College Park Campus, as well as laboratories
for research in the animal and plant sciences, ag-
ricultural engineering, agricultural and resource
economics, rural sociology, and home and
consumer economics. Provisions are made for
maintenance of experimental herds, flocks, field
and tree plots and for investigations of soils and
insect and disease control (Chapter 55, Acts of
1888, as amended).
Research is conducted at nine locations
throughout the State with particular attention to
the type of farming dominant in the respective
locations. These include the Plant Research Farm
near Fairland in Montgomery County, the Tobac-
co Research Farm near Upper Mariboro in
