Tosthe
Editor of the St. Croix Avis.
Sir,
My
attention
has been
drawn
to
a paragraph
in the
Herald stating
that
although
the
Island
‘‘used to
pay
such
a
tremendous
amount
fcr
the
running
of
an
Experiment
Station
at
Anna’s
Hope
yet
we
have
got
practicallv
no
result
from
it’’.
Further
the
Herald
go=s
on
to say,
‘‘it is to
be
hoped
that
the public
will get some
information
as
to the work of the
Station,
and the
num-
ber
of
persons
it has
helped
and
who
have
got
results
from
the
advices
given.”’
In the
first place I should
iike to state
that
the
tremendous
amount
paid
tor
the
running of
the
Experiment
Station
by the Island
was
Forty thousand
francs
yearly-less
than
Eigat
thousand
dol-
lars
in
American
Money.
Onut
of
this
amount
a
<onsiderable
portion
was kept
back
to pay
the
inierest
nd instalment
on the mone
invested
in the Station.
In
the
second
place,
[ wish
to
point
out
that
Annual
Reports
covering
the
work
of the
Station
were
published
in
1912, 1913,
1914 and
1915
and that these
Reports
vere
well
distributed
through-
out the Island.
Copies
of these
Reports
are
practically
exhausted,
nevertheless
I am
sending the
Editor of
the
Herald
from
my
almost
exhausted
stock
a copy
of each
of these
Reports.
In 1916,
1917 and
1918 Annual Reports
were
sent
in
to
the
Government
but
for some
reason
or
other they
were
not
printed.
The
Anrual
Report
covering
the
ac-
tivities
of the
Station during
1918-1919
has
recently
been
sent
to
Washington
and
will doubtless
sonon
be
issued
ina
Bulletin
of the
Department
of Agricul-
ture, and
a copy of
this will be available
to everybody
in the Island,
who is suffi-
ciently
interested
in
the
work
of
the
