Organization of Investigation in Agriculture¹

Office of Experiment Stations, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

ABSTRACT

The organization of investigation with a view to a larger measure of cooperation among institutions and workers, and greater attempt toward coördination, is at present perhaps the livest subject connected with scientific research. Hardly an address is delivered which does not touch upon this subject, and very many in the past year have dealt primarily with it. The idea is not new, as the work of this Association testifies, but it has been given new force and far broader scope in the past few years.

This association is well-nigh a pioneer in that field, and the systematic study it has devoted to the details and means of accomplishing the ends sought has made it one of the going agencies in this line. There is something stimulating in knowing that the idea the Association has stood for is gaining ground, and we may feel a new conviction that in this effort we are on the right track and in the line of progress.
