Overview

Excerpt from Agricultural Experiment Stations in Foreign Countries Sweden has 26 stations, controlled and partially supported by the State department of agriculture, most of which are chemical and seed control stations. In addition there are 10 agricultural chemical sta tions maintained by societies, which are in reality laboratories for analysis and control. Norway has 12 stations, including several con trol stations, all of which, With one or two exceptions, are under the direct control of the department of agriculture, and Denmark has 10 stations, several of which are among the most liberally supported of the European stations. In J apan there are 15, including 9 branch stations; in Switzerland a system of 10 stations, all under the control of the department of agri culture, except 1 for brewing, and in Spain 4 stations, 1 of which is oenological, 1 Viticultural, and 1 for sericulture. These comprise the principal countries in which experiment stations and similar agencies are most active, with the exception of Canada and the United States. The full list, however, includes Algeria, Argen tina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Brazil, Egypt, J ava, Portugal, Roumania, and many minor countries and dependencies. The more we study the foreign experiment stations the more appar ent it becomes that the American stations represent a distinct class of institutions, which are the product of their environment. Their exact prototype or counterpart is not found in any other country, either in scope, organization and management, or in relation to the farming community and the promotion of agriculture in general. They are an adaptation of the European stations to the conditions and requirements of this country. As such they present many unique features, and familiarity with their general character makes a study of the foreign systems the more interesting.
