AN ACT to provide for an increased annual appropriation for agricultural experiment stations and regulating the ex¬ penditure thereof. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That there shall be, and hereby is, annually appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be paid as hereinafter provided, to each State and Territory, for the more complete endowment and maintenance of agricul¬ tural experiment stations now established or which may here¬ after be established in accordance with the act of Congress ap¬ proved March second, eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, the sum of five thousand dollars in addition to the sum named in said act for the year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and six, and an annual increase of the amount of such appro¬ priation thereafter for five years by an additional sum of two thousand dollars over the preceding year, and the annual amount to be paid thereafter to each State or Territory shall be thirty thousand dollars, to be applied only to paying the neces¬ sary expenses of conducting original researches or experiments bearing directly on the agricultural industry of the United Federal Laws 15 States, having due regard to the varying conditions and needs of the respective States or Territories. Sec. 2. That the sums hereby appropriated to the States and Territories for the further endowment and support of agri¬ cultural experiment stations shall be annually paid in equal quarterly payments on the first day of January, April, July, and October of each year by the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the warrant of the Secretary of Agriculture, out of the Treasury of the United States, to the treasurer or other offi¬ cer duly appointed by the governing boards of said experi¬ ment stations to receive the same, and such officers shall be required to report to the Secretary of Agriculture on or be¬ fore the first day of September of each year a detailed state¬ ment of the amount so received and of its disbursement, on schedules prescribed by the Secretary of Agriculture. The grants of money authorized by this act are made subject to legislative assent of the several States and Territories to the purpose of said grants: Provided , That payment of such install¬ ments of the appropriation herein made as shall become due to any State or Territory before the adjournment of the regu¬ lar session of legislature meeting next after the passage of this act shall be made upon the assent of the governor thereof, duly certified by the Secretary of the Treasury. Sec. 3. That if any portion of the moneys received by the designated officer of any State or Territory for the further and more complete endowment, support, and maintenance of agricultural experiment stations as provided in this act shall by any action or contingency be diminished or lost or be mis¬ applied, it shall be replaced by said State or Territory to which it belongs, and until so replaced no subsequent appro¬ priation shall be apportioned or paid to such State or Terri¬ tory; and no portion of said moneys exceeding five per cen¬ tum of each annual appropriation shall be applied, directly or indirectly, under any pretense whatever, to the purchase, erec¬ tion, preservation, or repair of any'building or buildings, or to the purchase or rental of land. It shall be the duty of each of said stations annually, on or before the first day of Feb¬ ruary, to make to the governor of the State or Territory in which it is located a full and detailed report of its operations, including a statement of receipts and expenditures, a copy of which report shall be sent to each of said stations, to the Sec¬ retary of Agriculture, and to the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Sec. 4. That on or before the first day of July in each year after the passage of this act the Secretary of Agriculture shall ascertain and certify to the Secretary of the Treasury as to each State and Territory whether it is complying with the pro¬ visions of this act and is entitled to receive its share of the an- 16 The University of Wisconsin nual appropriation for agricultural experiment stations under this act and the amount which thereupon each is entitled, re¬ spectively, to receive. If the Secretary of Agriculture shall withhold a certificate from any State on Territory of its ap¬ propriation, the facts and reasons therefor shall be reported to the President, and the amount involved shall be kept sepa¬ rate in the Treasury until the close of the next Congress, in order that the State or Territory may, if it shall so desire, ap¬ peal to Congress from the determination of the Secretary of Agriculture. If the next Congress shall not direct such sum to be paid, it shall be covered into the Treasury; and the Sec¬ retary of Agriculture is hereby charged with the proper ad¬ ministration of this law. Sec. 5. That the Secretary of Agriculture shall make an annual report to Congress on the receipts and expenditures and work of the agricultural experiment stations in all of the States and Territories, and also whether the appropriation of any State of Territory has been withheld; and if so, the rea¬ son therefor. Sec. 6. That Congress may at any time amend, suspend, or repeal any or all of the provisions of this act. Approved, March 16, 1906 (34 Stat. L., 63). Interpretations of Adams Act. The act of Congress approved March sixteenth, nineteen hundred and six, entitled “An act to provide for an increased annual appropriation for agricultural experiment stations and regulating the expenditure thereof/’ shall be construed to ap¬ propriate for each station the sum of five thousand dollars for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and six, the sum of seven thousand dollars for the fiscal year end¬ ing June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and seven, the sum of nine thousand dollars for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight, the sum of eleven thousand dol¬ lars for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hun¬ dred and nine, the sum of thirteen thousand dollars for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and ten, and the sum of fifteen thousand dollars for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eleven. The sum of five thousand dollars appropriated for the fiscal year nine¬ teen hundred and six shall be paid on or before June thir¬ tieth, nineteen hundred and six, and the amounts appropriated for the subsequent years shall be paid as provided in the said act to each State and Territory for the more complete endow¬ ment and maintenance of agricultural experiment stations now established or which may hereafter be established in accord- Federal Laws 17 ance with the Act of Congress approved March second, eight¬ een hundred and eighty-seven.

[Extract from act making appropriations for the United States Depart¬ ment of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909.] And the Secretary of Agriculture hereafter may furnish to such institutions or individuals as may care to buy them copies of the card index of agricultural literature prepared by the Office of Experiment Stations, and charge for the same a price covering the additional expense involved in the prepa¬ ration of these copies, the money received from such sales to be deposited in the Treasury of the United States as miscel¬ laneous receipts. * * * Approved, May 23, 1908 (35 Stat. L., 266). Cooperation of the United States Department of Agricul¬ ture With the State Experiment Stations. The act of making appropriations for the United States De¬ partment of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, provides for cooperation between the Bureau of Ani¬ mal Industry and the State agricultural experiment stations in experiments in animal feeding and breeding and between the Bureau of Plant Industry and the stations in testing and breeding fiber plants, including flax straw for paper making (at the North Dakota Agricultural College), and in testing rare and valuable seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs, vines, cuttings, and plants from foreign countries. REGULATIONS OF THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT CONCERNING AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STA¬ TION PUBLICATIONS. Sections 515, 516, and 517 of the Postal Laws and Regulations (1902) of the United States relating to the free transmission of reports and bulletins of agricultural colleges and experiment stations read as follows: Sec. 515. One copy of each of the annual reports required by law to be made to the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agricul¬ ture, by such colleges as are or may hereafter be established for the 2—B. L. L. 18 The University of Wisconsin benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts in the several States, and Territories under the provisions of the act of July 2, 1862, entitled “An act donating public lands to the several States and Territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts,” and the acts amendatory thereof * * * shall be transmitted by mail free, by each, to all the other colleges which may be endowed under the provisions of this act (of July 2, 1862), and also one copy to the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture. 2. Postmasters at offices where colleges are established under the provisions of the act of July 2, 1862, will receive from the officers there¬ of the reports referred to addressed, one copy each, to such other col¬ leges and to the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agri¬ culture, and affix to each a penalty label or official envelope of the post office, and forward the same free. Sec. 516. Bulletins or reports of progress, one copy to each news¬ paper in the State or Territory in which the colleges hereafter referred to are located, and to such individuals actually engaged in farming as may request the same, and the annual reports required by law to be published by the agricultural experiment stations established under the provisions of the act of March 2, 1887, entitled, “An act to establish agricultural experiment stations in connection with the col¬ leges established in the various States and Territories under the provi¬ sions of an act approved July 2, 1862, and the acts supplementary thereto,” for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts (of said stations ) shall be transmitted in the mails of the United States free of charge for postage, under such regulations as the Postmaster General may from time to time prescribe. Sec. 517. Agricultural experiment stations which claim the privilege of transmitting free through the mails, under the provisions of the pre¬ ceding section, bulletins, reports of progress, or annual reports, must make application to the Postmaster General, stating the date of the establishment of such station, its proper name or designation, its offi¬ cial organization, and the names of its officers, the name of the univer¬ sity, college, school, or institution to which it is attached, if any, the legislation of the State or Territory providing for its establishment, and any other granting it the benefits of the provision made by Con¬ gress as referred to in the preceding section, accompanied by a copy of the act or acts, and whether any other such station in the same State or Territory is considered, or claims to be, also entitled to the privi¬ lege; and also the place where such station is located and the name of the post office where the bulletins and reports will be mailed. The ap¬ plication must be signed by the officer in charge of the station. 2. If such application is allowed by the Postmaster General the post¬ master at the proper office will be instructed to admit such bulletins and reports to the mails free of postage, and the officer in charge of the station will be notified thereof. 3. Only such bulletins or reports as shail have been issued after an experiment station became entitled to the privileges of the preceding section can be transmitted free; and such bulletins or reports may be inclosed in envelopes or wrappers, sealed or unsealed. On the exterior of every envelope, wrapper, or package must be written or printed the name of the station and place of its location, the designation of the bulletin or report inclosed, and the word “Free” over the signature or facsimile thereof of the officer in charge of the station, to be affixed by himself, or by some one duly authorized by him. There may also be written or printed upon the envelope or wrapper a request that the postmaster at the office of delivery will notify the mailing station of the change of address of the addressee, or other reason for inability to deliver the same, and upon a bulk package a request to the post¬ master to open and distribute the “franked” matter therein, in accord¬ ance with the addresses thereon- Federal Laws 19 4. Bulletins published by the United States Department of Agricul¬ ture, and entitled to be mailed free under the penalty envelope of that department, may also be adopted and mailed by agricultural experi¬ ment stations, with such of their own publications as are entitled to free transmission in the mails, under the same regulations; and any bulletins or reports mailable free by any agricultural experiment sta¬ tion under these regulations may be so mailed by any other station en¬ titled to such privilege. 5. If annual reports of an agricultural experiment station are printed by State authority, and consist in part of matter relating to the land-grant college to which such station is attached, then said re¬ port entire may be mailed free by the director of the station, provided, in his judgment, the whole consists of useful information of an agricul¬ tural character. But the reports of State agricultural departments or boards can not be adopted by agricultural experiment stations in order to secure free circulation of such State reports. 6. The bulletins and reports of progress issued by agricultural ex¬ periment stations can only be sent free to the newspapers and persons stated in the preceding section. The annual reports may be sent free to any address. A part of section 544, relating to free transmission of annual reports to certain foreign countries, reads as follows: The annual reports of agricultural experiment stations may be sent free to Canada, Cuba, and Mexico. A part of section 672, relating to the return and disposal of • unclaimed official matter, as amended April 26, 1912, reads as follows: Unclaimed official mail sent under penalty envelope or label or the frank of a Member of Congress, and unclaimed reports and bulletins sent out from State agricultural colleges and from agricultural experi¬ ment stations will be returned to the office of mailing if it is known. If the office of origin can not be ascertained, such mail will be returned to the post office at Washington, D. C. An order of the Postmaster General provides— Any article entitled to transmission free of postage in the domestic mails of the United States, either in a “penalty” envelope or under a duly authorized “frank,” shall be entitled likewise to transmission in the mails free of postage between places in any possession of the United States from one to another of such possessions from the United States to such possessions, and from such possessions to the United States. Among rulings on matters of detail the following are the most important: In sending out bulletins from an agricultural experiment station it is permissible to inclose postal cards to enable correspondents of the station to acknowledge the receipt of its publications and to request their continuous transmission. “Copies of the reports or bulletins of the agricultural experiment stations, which are purchased, paid, or subscribed for, or otherwise dis¬ posed of for gain, when sent in the mails, are not entitled to free car¬ riage under the ‘frank’ of the director of station.” Station bulletins and reports, consisting of typewritten matter dup¬ licated on a mimeograph or other duplicating machine, “retain their character as free matter when properly franked by the director of the station.” Cards upon which are printed bulletins issued by agricultural experi¬ ment stations established under the provisions of the act of March 2, 1887, may be sent openly in the mails, free of postage, provided the ad¬ dress side of such cards bears the indicia prescribed in paragraph 3, 20 The University of Wisconsin section 517, Postal Laws and Regulations, for envelopes used by the ex¬ periment stations referred to in mailing copies of their bulletins and reports. Reports of the State boards of agriculture or other State boards, commissioners, or officers, even though they contain station bulletins and reports, can not be sent free through the mails under the frank of the director of the station. The catalogue of the college of which the station is a department can not be sent free through the mails un¬ der the frank of the director of the station, whether said catalogue is published separately or is bound together with a station publication. RULINGS OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT AFFECT¬ ING AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS. From copies of letters addressed to the Secretary of the Treas¬ ury and others by the First Comptroller of the Treasury, relat¬ ing to the construction of the acts of Congress of March 2, 1887 (Hatch Act), and March 16, 1906 (Adams Act), and acts sup¬ plementary thereto, the following digest has been prepared. The dates of the decisions by the comptroller are given: Section 3, Hatch Act—January -30, 1888. The annual financial statement of the stations, with vouchers, should not be sent to the Treasury Department, but a copy sim¬ ply of the report that is made to the governor is to be sent to the Secretary of the Treasury. Section 3, Hatch Act—January 31, 1888. (1) The Treasury Department will not require officers of ex¬ periment stations to do or perform anything not specifically re¬ quired by said bill. (2) The Secretary of the Treasury is not required to take a bond of the officers of said stations for the money paid over un¬ der the provisions of said act. (3) No reports will be required from the stations directly to the Secretary of the Treasury; but the governor of the State must send to the Secretary of the Treasury a copy of the report made to him by the colleges or stations. Section 4, Hatch Act—December 16, 1895. The Solicitor of the Treasury writes: “I am of the opinion that there is no authority for an agricultural experiment station Federal Laws 21 to sell its bulletins outside of the State or Territory. Congress appropriates for the publication and free distribution of the bul¬ letins, and neither expressly nor by necessary implication au¬ thorizes their sale.” Section 6, Hatch Act—August 2, 1888. The fiscal year commences on the 1st day of July, correspond¬ ing with the fiscal year of the Government. An agricultural station entitled to the benefits of said appro¬ priations made by Congress can anticipate the payment to be made July 1, and make contracts of purchases prior to that time, if it shall be necessary to carry on the work of the station. Of course, no portion of said appropriations paid in quarterly in¬ stallments can be drawn from the Treasury unless needed for the purposes indicated in the act; and so much of what is so drawn as may not have been expended within the year must be ac¬ counted for as part of the appropriation for the following year. Section 8, Hatch Act—January 30, 1888. The State of New York ought to designate whether to the col¬ lege or to the station or to both it desires the appropriation to be applied. The eighth section of the act seems to authorize the State to apply such benefits to experimental stations it may have established as it desires. Where there are no experimental stations connected with the colleges, the legislatures of such States must connect the agricul¬ tural experiment station with the colleges already established un¬ der the act of July 2, 1862; there is no authority in the act au¬ thorizing the establishment of agricultural experiment stations independent of said colleges. The act contemplates that where stations have already been established disconnected from the colleges the legislatures of such States may make such provisions in regard thereto as they may deem proper; but it does not authorize the establishment of stations except in connection with the colleges that were at that time or might hereafter be established under the act of July 2, 1862. Section 8, Hatch Act—February 14, 1888. Where there is an agricultural college or station which may have been established by State authority and is maintained by the State, the eighth section of the above act would authorize the State to designate the station to which it desired the appropria- 22 The University of Wisconsin tion to be applied, whether to one or more, or all, and the Secre¬ tary of the Treasury should make the payment under the appro¬ priation to whichever one the State might desire. Sections 1 and 8, Hatch Act—February 15, 1888. (1) When an agricultural college or station has -been estab¬ lished under the act of July 2, 1862, each college is entitled to the benefits of the provisions of said act (i. e., of Mar. 2, 1887). (2) In a State where an agricultural college has been estab¬ lished under the act of July 2, 1862, and agricultural stations have also been established, either under the act of July 2, 1862, or by State authority, before March 2, 1887, the legislature of such State shall determine which one of said institutions, or how many of them, shall receive the benefits of the act of March 2, *1887. (3) If the legislature of any State in which an agricultural college has been established under the act of July 2, 1862, desires to establish an agricultural station which shall be entitled to the benefits of said act, it must establish such station in connection with said college. Sections 1 and 8, Hatch Act—December 7, 1888. It is within the power of the legislature of any State that has accepted the provisions of said act of March 2, 1887, to dispose of the amount appropriated by Congress for said station to each one or all of the agricultural colleges or stations which may have been established in said State by virtue of either the provisions of the act of July 2, 1862, or the provisions of said eighth section of the act of March 2, 1887. The whole responsibility rests upon the State legislature as to how the fund appropriated by Congress shall be distributed among these various institutions of the State, provided there is one or more agricultural colleges with which an agricultural sta¬ tion is connected or one or more agricultural stations. Section 3, Adams Act—August 11, 1911 and December 27, 1911. Section 3 of the so-called Adams Act of March 16, 1906 (34 Stat., 63), which provides for an increased annual appropriation for agricultural experiment stations, requires that such part of the money appropriated under the provisions of said act as may be diminished or lost or misapplied after being received by the Federal Laws 23 officer of the State or Territory designated to receive same must “be replaced by said State or Territory to which it belongs, and until so replaced no subsequent appropriation shall be appor¬ tioned or paid to such State or Territory”; and this requirement is an absolute prohibition upon the apportionment until such re¬ placement is actually made, a mere withholding from the subse¬ quent appropriation of an amount equal to that diminished, lost, or misapplied not being a compliance with said statute. (18 Comp. Dec., 120.) Such funds may be replaced by expending the amount in¬ volved for the purposes for which the funds were originally ap¬ propriated, to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Agriculture. There is “no limitation on time within which the replacement shall be made,” but “no apportionment whatever can be made until the misapplied moneys are replaced.” The provision in the Hatch Act of March 2, 1887 (24 Stat., 440), requiring the deduction of unexpended appropriations ap¬ plies also to appropriations under the Adams Act of March 16, 1906 (34 Stat., 63). (18 Comp. Dec., 485.) Such unexpended balances must be accounted for as a part of the appropriation for the next succeeding year; in short, each station must account every year for the specific sum (fifteen thousand dollars) provided by Congress, although the amount actually paid to the station in any one year may be less than fif¬ teen thousand dollars on account of the deduction of an unex¬ pended balance for the preceding fiscal year. RULINGS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AFFECTING AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STA¬ TIONS. In connection with examinations of the work and expenditures of the agricultural experiment stations established in accordance with the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, and further endowed under act of Congress of March 16, 1906, under authority given to the Secretary of Agriculture by Congress, questions have arisen which have seemed to make it advisable to formulate the views of this department on certain matters affecting the man¬ agement of the stations under those acts. The rulings which have been made from time to time on points which seemed to require special attention are as follows: Expenditures for Permanent Substations. This department holds that the expenditure of funds appro¬ priated in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Con- 24 The University of Wisconsin gress of March 2, 1887, for the maintenance of permanent sub¬ stations is contrary to the spirit and intent of said act. The act provides for an experiment station in each State and Terri¬ tory, which, except in cases specified in the act, is to be a de¬ partment of the college established under the act of Congress of July 2, 1862. The objects of the stations, as defined in the first-mentioned act, are evidently of such a character as to necessitate the services of scientific and expert workers. Most of the lines of investigation named in the act are general, rather than local, and involve scientific equipment and work. It is obviously the intent that the stations established under this act shall carry on important investigations which shall be of general benefit to the agriculture of the several States and Territories. The sum of $15,000, which is annually appropri¬ ated by Congress under this act for each station, is only suffi¬ cient to carry out a limited number of investigations of the kind contemplated by the act. As the work of the stations in the different States has de¬ veloped it has been found necessary to limit, rather than ex¬ pand, the lines of work of the individual stations. Thorough work in a few lines has been found more effective and produc¬ tive of more useful results than small investigations in num¬ erous lines. When we consider the nature of the investiga¬ tions, the amount of money provided for the work of each sta¬ tion, and the fact that the act expressly provides for only a single station in connection with each college, it becomes very clear that expenditures such as are necessary to effectually maintain permanent substations ought not to be made from the funds granted by Congress to the States and Territories for experiment stations. The maintenance of permanent substa¬ tions, as a rule, involves the erection of buildings and the making of other permanent improvements. The sums of money which can be expended for permanent improvements under the act of Congress aforesaid are so small that it is clear they were not intended to meet the needs of more than one station in each State and Territory. When the legislature of a State or Territory has given its. assent to the provisions of the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, and has designated the institution which shall receive the benefits of said act, it would seem to have exhausted its powers in the matter. The responsibility for the maintenance of an experiment station under said act devolves upon the gov¬ erning board of the institution thus designated. If the legis¬ lature of the State or Territory sees fit to provide funds for the equipment and maintenance of other experiment stations and to put them 'under the control of the same governing board, well and good, but this does not in any way diminish the responsibility of the board to administer the funds granted by Congress in accordance with the provisions of said act. Federal Laws 25 The wisdom of Congress in limiting the number of stations to be established in each State and Territory under the afore¬ said act has been clearly shown by the experience of the few States and Territories which have attempted the mainten¬ ance of substations with the funds granted under said act. The expense of maintaining substations has, as a rule, mater¬ ially weakened the central station, and the investigations car¬ ried on at the substations have been superficial and temporary. It is granted that in many States and Territories more than one agricultural experiment station might do useful work, and in some States more than one station has already been success¬ fully maintained; but in all these cases the State has given funds from its own treasury to supplement those given by Congress. It is also granted that experiment stations estab¬ lished under said act of Congress and having no other funds than those provided by that act will often need to carry on investigations in different localities in their respective States and Territories, but it is held that this should be done in such a way as Will secure the thorough supervision of such investi¬ gations by the expert officers of the station and that arrange¬ ments for such experimental inquiries should not be of so per¬ manent a character as to prevent the station from shifting its work from place to place as circumstances may require nor involve the expenditure of funds in such amounts and in such ways as will weaken the work of the station as a whole. As far as practicable the cooperation of individuals and com¬ munities benefited by these special investigations should be sought and, if necessary, the aid of the States invoked to carry on enterprises too great to be successfully conducted within the limits of the appropriation granted by Congress under the act aforesaid. PURCHASE OR RENTAL OF LANDS. This department holds that the purchase or rental of lands by the experiment stations from the funds appropriated in accordance with the provisions of the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, is contrary to the spirit and intent of said act. The act provides for “paying the necessary expenses of conduct¬ ing investigations and experiments and printing and distribut¬ ing the results * * * Provided, however, That out of the first annual appropriation so received by any station an amount not exceeding one-fifth may be expended in the erec¬ tion, enlargement, or repair of a building or buildings neces¬ sary for carrying on the work of such stations; and thereafter an amount not exceeding five per centum of such annual ap¬ propriation may be so expended.” The only reference to land for the station in the act is in section 8, where State legisla- 26 The University of Wisconsin tures are authorized to apply appropriations made under said act to separate agricultural colleges or schools established by the State “ which shall have connected therewith an experi¬ mental farm or station.” The strict limitation of the amount provided for buildings and the absence of any provision for the purchase or rental of lands, when taken in connection with the statement in the eighth section, which treats the farm as in a sense a necessary adjunct of the educational institu¬ tion to which the whole or a part of the funds appropriated in accordance with said act might in certain cases be devoted, point to the conclusion that it was expected that the institu¬ tion of which the station is a department would supply the land needed for experimental purposes and that charges for the purchase or rental of lands would not be made against the funds provided by Congress for the experiment station. This conclusion is reenforced by consideration of a wise and econo¬ mic policy in the management of agricultural experiment sta¬ tions, especially as relating to £ases in which it might be de¬ sirable for the station to have land for experimental purposes in different localities. The investigations carried on by the stations in such cases being for the direct benefit of agriculture in the localities where the work is done, it seems only reason¬ able that persons or communities whose interests will be ad¬ vanced by the station work should contribute the use of the small tracts of land which will be required for experimental purposes. Experience shows that in most cases the stations have had no difficulty in securing such land as they needed without expense, and it is believed that this may be done in every case without injuriously affecting the interests of the stations. expenditures for farm operations. This department holds that expenses incurred in conducting the operations of farms, whether the farms are connected with institutions established under the act of Congress of July 2, 1862, or not, are not a proper charge against the funds appropriated by Congress for agricultural experiment stations in accordance with the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, unless such operations definitely constitute a part of agricultural investigations or ex¬ periments planned and conducted in accordance with the terms of the act aforesaid, under rules and regulations prescribed by the governing board of the station. The performance of ordi¬ nary farm operations by an experiment station does not consti¬ tute experimental work. Operations of this character by an ex¬ periment station should be confined to such as are a necessary part of experimental inquiries. Carrying on a farm for profit or as a model farm, or to secure funds which may be afterwards devoted to the erection of buildings for experiment station pur- Federal Laws 27 poses, to the further development of experimental investigation, or to any other purpose, however laudable and desirable, is not contemplated by the law as a part of the functions of an agricul¬ tural experiment station established under the act of Congress of March 2, 1887. Section 5 of that act plainly limits the ex¬ penditures of funds appropriated in accordance with said act to ‘ ‘ the necessary expenses of conducting investigations and experi¬ ments and printing and distributing the results. ’ ’ FUNDS FROM SALES. This department holds that moneys received from the sales of farm products or other property in the possession of an agricul¬ tural experiment station as the result of expenditures of funds received by the station in accordance with the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, rightfully belong to the experiment station as a department of the college or other institution with which it is con¬ nected, and may be expended in accordance with the laws or regu¬ lations governing the financial transactions of the governing board of the station, provided, however, that all expenses attend¬ ing such sales, including those attending the delivery of the prop¬ erty into the possession of the purchaser, should be deducted from the gross receipts from the sales and should not be made a charge against the funds appropriated by Congress. LIMIT OF EXPENDITURES DURING ONE FISCAL YEAR. This department holds that expenses incurred by an agricul¬ tural experiment station in any one fiscal year to be paid from the funds provided under the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, should not exceed the amount appropriated to the station by Con¬ gress for that year, and especially that all personal services should be paid for out of the appropriation of the year in which they were performed, and that claims for compensation for such services can not properly be paid out of the appropriations for succeeding years. The several appropriations for experiment stations under the aforesaid act are for one year only, and officers of experiment stations have no authority to contract for expendi¬ tures beyond the year for which Congress has made appropria¬ tions. This is plainly implied in the act aforesaid, inasmuch as sec¬ tion 6 provides that unexpended balances shall revert to the Treasury of the United States, “in order that the amount of money appropriated to any station shall not exceed the amount actually and necessarily required for its maintenance and sup¬ port.” The annual financial report rendered in the form pre¬ scribed by this department should in every case include only the receipts and expenditures of the fiscal year for which the report is made. 28 The University of Wisconsin EXPENDITURES FOR A WATER SYSTEM. This department holds that expenditures by agricultural ex¬ periment stations from the funds appropriated in accordance with the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, for the construction of wells, cisterns, ponds, or other reservoirs for the storage of water, and for piping, and other materials for a system of stor¬ ing and distributing water, are properly charged, under abstract 18 in the schedule for financial reports prescribed by this depart¬ ment, as being for improvements on lands which have hitherto been held to come under the head of “ buildings and repairs/ ’ The fact that a water system may be a necessary adjunct of cer¬ tain experimental inquiries does not affect the case, inasmuch as the limitations on expenditures for improvements contained in section 5 of the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, expressly stip¬ ulate that these improvements shall be such as are necessary for carrying on the work of the station. EXPENDITURES FOR MEMBERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS. This department holds that membership fees in associations and other organizations are not a proper charge against the funds appropriated by Congress in accordance with the act of March 2, 1887, except in the case of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, which is held to be an essential part of the system of experiment stations es¬ tablished under said act. THE BORROWING OF MONEY. This department holds that experiment station officers have no authority to borrow money to be repaid out of appropriations made under the act of Congress of March 2, 1887, and that charges for interest can not properly be made against funds ap¬ propriated under that act. THE USE OF FUNDS FOR COLLEGE PURPOSES. This department holds that no portion of the funds appropri¬ ated by Congress in accordance with the act of March 2, 1887, can legally be used, either directly or indirectly, for paying the salaries or wages of professors, teachers, or other persons whose duties are confined to teaching, administration, or other work in connection with the courses of instruction given in the colleges with which the stations are connected or in any other educational institution; or should any other expenses connected with the work or facilities for instruction in school or college courses be paid from said fund. In case the same persons are employed in Federal Laws 29 both the experiment station and the other departments of the college with which the station is connected a fair and equitable division of salaries or wages should be made, and in case of any other expenditures for the joint benefit of the ex¬ periment station and the other departments of the college the aforesaid funds should be charged with only a fair share of such expenditures. Expenditures for Extension Work. Expenses for extension work should not be charged against the Hatch fund, and * * * only such printing should be done with that fund as will record the experimental work of the sta¬ tions established under the Hatch Act. * * * expenditures for accounting. [Extract from circular letter of the Secretary of^Agriculture of Mar. 20, 1906.] Under the terms of the act it will be necessary that a separate account of the Adams fund shall be kept at each station, which should be open at all times to the inspection of the Director of the Office of Experiment Stations or his accredited representa¬ tive. * * * The Adams fund is ‘ Ho be applied only to paying the necessary expenses of conducting original researches or experiments bear¬ ing directly on the agricultural industry of the United States.’’ It is for the ‘ ‘ more complete endowment and maintenance ’ ’ of the experiment stations, presupposing the provision of a working plant and administrative officers. Accordingly, expenses for ad¬ ministration, care of buildings and grounds, insurance, office fur¬ niture and fittings, general maintenance of the station farm and animals, verification and demonstration experiments, compila¬ tions, farmers ’ institute work, traveling, except as is immediately connected with original researches in progress under this act, and other general expenses for the maintenance of the experiment sta¬ tions, are not to be charged to this fund. The act makes no pro¬ vision for printing or for the distribution of publications, which should be charged to other funds. * * * Classification of Station Accounts. In accordance with the requirement that the Secretary of Agri¬ culture shall prescribe the form of the annual financial statement required under the Hatch and Adams Acts, forms are issued by the Office of Experiment Stations which provide for the classifi¬ cation of station accounts under 18 ledger headings, as follows: (1) . Salaries —administrative, technical, and clerical. (2) Labor, regular and temporary, in connection with experiments. (3) Publications, printing, illustration, envelopes for mailing, etc. 30 The University op Wisconsin (4) Postage and stationery, including means of communication, such as telephone, telegraph, and cable service; and stationery for office and record purposes, forms, index, cards, etc. (5) Freight and express, including drayage or other charges for handling freight. (6) Heat, light, water, and power. (7) Chemicals and laboratory supplies for all departments of the sta¬ tion, not including apparatus of permanent character. (8) Seeds, plants, and sundry supplies not otherwise provided for, for variqus departments. (9) Fertilizers, including water for irrigation. (10) Feeding stuffs for work animals and those under experiment. (11) Library —books, periodicals, and binding, but not including equipment or general supplies. (12) Tools, machinery, and appliances, such as agricultural imple¬ ments and machines, motors, mills, pumps, vehicles, harness, shelters, including repairs to same. (13) Furniture and fixtures for offices and laboratories—desks, cases, typewriters, and office appliances. (14) Scientific apparatus and specimens including mounted insects, fungi, etc. (15) Live stock, including purchase of animals of all kinds for work or experimental purposes, but not their feeding and care. (16) Traveling expenses in supervision of station work or in connec¬ tion with it. (17) Contingent expenses, to be itemized in detail. (18) Buildings and land, including all expenses for labor and ma¬ terial for the erection, alteration, and repair of buildings, per¬ manent structures built in place, purchase of permanent fix¬ tures forming part of a building, purchase or rental of land (under Adams fund only), and improvements on land, such as roads, fences, drainage or water systems, etc. Experiment Station Accounting. [See circular letter of the Director of the Office of Experiment Stations of March 1, 1911.] The principle which should guide is that all expenditures from the Hatch fund must be for experimental work and publications, and all expenditures from the Adams fund for the projects agreed upon in advance with the Office of Experiment Stations. In adjusting the salaries of station employes only such portion of their time as is occupied in connection with experimental work and the publication of the results thereof, including correspond¬ ence directly relating to the experimental work, should be charged to the Federal funds for the station. All business and correspon¬ dence connected with the college, inspection service, and exten¬ sion department of bureau of information should be paid for from other funds. The same principle should be applied to all other expenditures from these funds for the maintenance of the station. The Adams fund expenditures for salaries, labor, travel, ap¬ paratus, books, and maintenance should be strictly confined to those necessitated by the projects on file which have been ap¬ proved by this office. Each voucher should be indorsed with the Federal Laws 31 title of the project for which the expenditure was incurred, and be 0. K’d by the officer in immediate charge of the project as well as by the director. Separate accounts should be kept for the Hatch, Adams, and sales funds, and as far as practicable separate vouchers should be on file for each of these funds. The sales fund should be used only for experiment station work and publications and not for inspection or extension work or com¬ piled publications. Bills for printing, illustrations, preparation of Ms., or mailing of publications should not be charged to the Hatch fund unless the publications clearly record the experimental work of the sta¬ tion. Popular bulletins charged to the Hatch fund should ex¬ pressly show that they embody the results of the station’s experi¬ mental work. General bulletins of information, circulars con¬ taining directions for the use of fertilizers, spraying, etc., which are compiled from well-known sources of information or embody the general or local experience of practical men, and other com¬ piled publications, should not be charged to the Hatch fund. The expenses of tests and local demonstrations of established results of experimental work or improved practice are not proper charges against the Federal funds for the stations. In keeping the station books and vouchers and in making up the financial reports strict attention should be paid to the rulings of the department, the published scheme of classification of ac¬ counts, and the instructions printed on the first page of the finan¬ cial schedule and in connection with the several abstracts thereof. When changes are made of accountants or clerks the require¬ ments of the department regarding the details of expenditure and accounting should be brought to the attention of the new incum¬ bents, and care should be taken that approved methods of ac¬ counting shall not be changed without consideration of the de¬ partment ’s requirements.

When a job exceeds one thousand impressions, addi¬ tional fractional parts of a thousand impressions shall be charged' for at a pro rata rate figured on the basis of the lowest rate per thousand taken by such job. (2) The quantity of composition shall be ascertained by strict measurement and count.

(3) No charge for composition shall be allowed for second editions nor for any other reprint from linotype or stereotype plates owned by the state. Type used in printing any opinion, decision, bulletin, pamphlet' or other document, shall be pre¬ served undistributed for further use whenever the same matter is required to be incorporated in any other book or document, if the same size and shape of pages and the same style of type are suitable for both; and no charge for composition for such further use of the type shall be allowed. One charge and no more shall be made for the composition of any printing ordered by both houses of the legislature. No charge for composition shall be allowed for extra copies of any printing ordered be¬ fore the type shall have been distributed. No distinct work of composition shall be counted at less than one thousand ems. 54 The University of Wisconsin Jobs properly requiring changes on the press shall not be charged for as separate jobs, but charge shall be made for actual time required for making such changes, provided, how¬ ever, that such time charge shall in no case exceed the cost of any of such jobs if measured separately. (4) Folding, stitching and binding include collating, dry¬ ing and pressing. Not to exceed two rulings across and up and down the sheet will be paid for. When a ruled job will rule and cut two or more to the sheet, such ruling shall be charged for on the basis of full sheets only, and cut up without extra charge. Delivery of public printing.

There shall henceforth be credited to the account designated “The University Trust Funds Income,” as the same shall be received by the State Treasurer, all interest, dividends, or other income produced in any form by or from any securities or in¬ vestments of the said “University Trust Funds.” When loans or investments shall be made as hereinbefore provided, a certi¬ ficate of the amount, and of the particulars thereof, shall be made by the Committee on Trust Funds to the Secretary of State, who shall issue his warrant on the State Treasurer there¬ for, mentioning the same as a disbursement from “The Uni¬ versity Trust Funds;” and there shall at the same time be de¬ livered to the State Treasurer, for his custody as provided by law, all securities and papers relating thereto taken for such loan or investment. When any loan shall be paid, or the princi¬ pal of any investment realized or reimbursed, in full, the State Treasurer shall at once certify the fact, with proper description of the security discharged, to the Secretary of the Board, w T ho is authorized thereupon to execute on behalf of the Regents of the University any proper satisfaction, discharge, or acquit¬ tance which may be necessary to release any security upon the public records or otherwise; and to make any assignment, trans¬ fer, or reconveyance which shall be requisite or convenient for that purpose on the part of the Regents of The University of Wisconsin; and the Secretary is authorized thereafter to affix thereto, when necessary, the corporate seal of the University as the act of the Regents, and shall report thereupon immedi- atelv to the Chairman of the Committee on Trust Funds. Whenever the Regents of the University shall receive by gift, bequest, or other donation any income producing fund they shall certify and pay over the amount thereof to the State Treasurer who shall credit the same to the principal of the ac- By-Laws op Regents 123 count of “The University Trust Funds” and the same shall become a part of the principal of said account and all income derived therefrom shall be likewise credited to “The University Trust Funds Income;” and at the time of so certifying a duplicate thereof shall be sent to the Secretary of State, in order that he may make the proper entries upon his accounts. At the same time the Secretary of the Board shall open proper accounts on the books of the University, as in cases before pro¬ vided for. At the close of the 30th day of June in each year, the State Treasurer shall make a statement showing the total amount received by him and credited to the account of ‘ ‘ The University Trust Funds Income” during the fiscal year ending on that date, with the particulars thereof in respect to dates, amounts and respective securities or investments from which the same was derived, and shall transmit the same to the Secretary of the Regents; who shall thereupon make the proper entries as hereinafter directed. The State Treasurer shall likewise at the same time make a separate account showing the balance on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year in the account of “The University Trust Funds,” the amount received during the year to the credit of such account and the amount debited thereto, with the particulars in either case of dates, amounts and the respective sources from which receipts were derived or the purposes for which disbursements were made; and shall also furnish at the same time a list of the securities and invest¬ ments in his hands with the balance of the principal thereof remaining. Section 2 . The Secretary of the Board shall keep an ac¬ count entitled “The State Treasurer’s University Trust Funds,” and an account entitled “The State Treasurer’s University Trust Funds Income,” both of which shall be cash accounts showing the true state of the moneys remaining in the hands of the Treasurer on account of the Trust Funds and all the moneys received as income therefrom; and shall be entirely separate and apart from the general account of the State Treas¬ urer with the University for receipts and disbursements on account of the University’s general income. The Secretary of the Board shall also keep an account designated as “The Trust Funds Investments,” to which shall be charged the principal sums invested on account of the loan of the trust funds, or other investments thereof, for income and to which shall be credited the payments received on account of the principal thereof from time to time. Whenever any sums which have been invested shall be repaid on account of principal, the amount thereof will be debited to the State Treasurer’s “University Trust Funds” and credited to the account of “Trust Funds Investments,” so specifying particulars that the latter account shall always show 124 The University of Wisconsin the several investments and the respective amounts of each thereof. Whenever receipts are made on account of the prin¬ cipal of any of the trust funds therein by realization of assets not previously entered in money account, or by further dona¬ tions, the amount thereof shall be charged to “The State Treas¬ urer’s University Trust Funds” and credited to the proper trust fund account. Any disbursements, or loss, on account of the principal of any of said trust funds shall be credited to the State Treasurer’s account and debited to the proper trust fund. If such loss shall consist in the failure to collect any investment, the amount thereof shall be apportioned to and debited to the several trust funds in accordance with the re¬ lation of the principal of each to the aggregate of the whole, as hereinafter provided for apportionment of income, except in such cases as the same shall be taken from the income and charged to “The University Trust Funds Income” by order of the Board.

Payments made out of the income of the several funds shall then be debited to such respective fund income credited, upon warrant drawn, to the “State' Treasurer’s University Trust Funds Income,” so that the balance standing to the debit of the latter account will always be equal to the aggregate of the balances standing to the credit of the several trust funds income accounts, and the balance standing to the debit of “The State Treasurer’s University Trust Funds” and to the debit of “The State Treasurer’s University Trust Funds In¬ come” will always show the balance of moneys in his hands belonging to the University’s Trust Funds, and the produce thereof, and thus be kept distinct and separate from the gen¬ eral accounts of the University. Section 3. Payments from the income of each of the several trust funds mentioned in Section 1, except the Adams Fellow¬ ship Fund, shall be made annually in accordance with the law governing the respective fund as hereinafter provided; but no payment shall be made until the income shall have been realized and, upon the statement of the State Treasurer, cred¬ ited to the proper income account. Such part of the income By-Laws of Regents 125 derived on account of the Charles K. and Mary M. Adams Fellowship Fund, as required by the wills by which said fund was bequeathed, shall be immediately transferred to the capital of said fund, and for that purpose immediately upon the re¬ ceipt thereof the proper amount shall be certified to the Sec¬ retary of State who shall draw his warrant for the transfer thereof from “The University Trust Funds Income Account’’ to “The University Trust Funds” and proper entries shall be made by the Secretary upon the accounts aforesaid on the books of the University to show the same by crediting the pro¬ portionate share of income accruing to that fund to the capital of said fund by debiting the “State Treasurer’s University Trust Funds” with the amount thereof. Section 4. All loans and investments of moneys belonging to the" trust funds shall be made by the Committee on Trust Funds from time to time as moneys may be in the hands of the State Treasurer therefor, and the same shall be certified to the Secretary of State in the manner required for the certi¬ fication of accounts so that the proper warrant may be drawn therefor upon the Treasurer. For this purpose, the Committee on Trust Funds may make such certification at any conven¬ ient time and obtain the money when necessary and they shall promptly place in the custody of the State Treasurer all securi¬ ties, abstracts and other papers received for every loan or in¬ vestment. Every such transaction shall be entered 'in the recorded minutes of the Committee on Trust Funds and re¬ ported at the next following meeting! of the Board of Regents All mortgages taken to secure loans, and the transfer of all collateral securities for loans, shall be made to “The Regents of The University of Wisconsin.” The Committee on Trust Funds is also authorized, at any time when in their discretion it shall be to the best interests of the trust funds, to sell to any purchaser, upon such terms as) they shall deem fit, any properties, whether real estate or personal, belonging to any of the trust funds of the University; and also to sell any securities held by investment of the trust funds, or any part thereof; and also, to compound and settle any loans in which any of the trust funds are invested, or any debt due on account of the said trust funds; and in any and every such case, they may, by resolution entered on their minutes, require and authorize the President and Secretary of the Board to ex¬ ecute and deliver) a proper conveyance, transfer, assignment, release, and satisfaction, or other instrument requisite to give full effect to their action. Section 5. The provisions of this by-law relate only to the trust funds of the University created for production of in¬ come and not to gifts, in any form, where it is directed or in any way provided that the principal of the gift shall be ex- 126 The University of Wisconsin pended or bestowed either during the current year or within any short period thereafter.
