pathology and genetics are in the new Agriculture Hall, while those of enology, zymology, veterinary science, insecticides, agricultural chemistry, fertilizer control and the State Pure Food Laboratories are in adjoining structures.

A special laboratory is devoted to investigations and instruction in the physics and chemistry of soils.

The Laboratory of Agricultural Chemistry is devoted primarily to the prosecution of chemical researches in relation to general agriculture, such as the chemical examination of waters, foods, agricultural products, etc., and the determination of technical questions relating to agricultural processes or manufactures. The results of this work are reported to the persons interested; so far as they are of general interest they are published currently in the form of bulletins. Laboratory instruction has been provided by desk room in the laboratories for twenty-five advanced students (i.e., those who have taken silicate analysis in the chemistry department) and for special students for work in agricultural analysis.

The Fertilizer Control Laboratory, for the analysis of commercial fertilizers, established by act of the Legislature, occupies a new building planned and constructed especially for its use.

The Cereal Laboratory is equipped for work entrusted to the Experiment Station by the Governor of California under the law of 1905, and is associated with field work at cereal stations in different parts of the State. The laboratory operations consist of selection and analysis of cereals, and analysis of soils and fertilizers used in their production; also baking tests to determine commercial value and suitability of the flours secured from the varieties included in field and milling experiments.

Sugar-House Practice is maintained by facilities for practical instruction in sugar-house control, in which the student receives practice in the analysis of sugar-house products.

The Citriculture and Viticulture Laboratory is equipped for instruction. A large room in Agriculture Hall is furnished with microscopes, charts and collections for the use of students.

The Enological and Zymological Laboratories occupy a room in the Fertilizer Control Building and are equipped for the investigation of problems in wine making and related industries. They have also accommodations for a limited number of students.

Entomological Laboratories. The elementary laboratory is equipped with the usual apparatus, such as microscopes, microtomes, breeding cages, etc., and the research laboratories have been well equipped for many lines of investigation. The Insectary, located near Agriculture Hall, has a number of rooms, each adapted to some particular phase of entomology and its

application, e.g., an apiary with workshop for the study of bees, animal compartments with operating room for experimental work in parasitology, hot and cold rooms for the study of life histories of insects, and an aquarium for observations of aquatic insects.

Bacteriology and Veterinary Science. The laboratories for instruction and investigation in bacteriology and for the study of diseases of live stock are accommodated in separate structures.

Plant Pathology. Facilities for laboratory instruction and investigation in plant diseases are provided in Agriculture Hall, where the necessary equipment is available for this purpose. In addition, advanced students are permitted to study at the Southern California Plant Disease Laboratory at Whittier.

The University Dairy. The hill lands of the University at Berkeley are used for the maintenance of a dairy herd and are furnished with barns, corrals, and a milk house with good arrangements for sanitary milk handling, the product being sold to local consumers. The operation of the dairy serves a good instructional purpose.

The University Farm. The University Farm, purchased in accordance with a California statute of 1905, comprises 780 acres of first-class valley land under irrigation at Davis, Yolo County. It is provided with buildings for instruction in practical agriculture and horticulture, including a commercial creamery, stock pavilion, horticultural building, dairy barn, cereal building, mechanical shops, poultry building and three dormitory buildings and dining hall. The University Farm is both for experiment and instructional uses. Instruction is provided in short courses for adults, secondary instruction for youth, and practical instruction for University students. Full information concerning the farm and its uses can be had by applying for special publications to the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station.

The Experiment Station and Sub-Stations of the College of Agriculture make provision for systematic experimentation in the culture of the various farm products of California. There are at present eight stations at which this work is prosecuted.

The Central Station at Berkeley, from which all work connected with the various sub-stations is directed, was organized in the year 1875.

The University Farm at Davis is used in part for experiment station work in agronomy, horticulture, viticulture, animal husbandry, veterinary science, plant pathology, and irrigation.

The M. Theo Kearney Ranch at Fresno is also used in part for experimental cultures of cereals, vines, and other crops.

The Plant Disease Laboratory and Sub-Station at Whittier is devoted to research and experiment in the nature and control of plant diseases and in the culture of fruits and vegetables. This sub-station was provided by the legislature of 1905. A building for laboratory and office purposes was completed in 1907. A special publication giving details of the building and its operation is available.

The Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside is devoted to experimental and variety cultures of various species and varieties of the citrus group of plants and a new building now being erected will be used for laboratory and office purposes.

The Imperial Valley Sub-Station near El Centro is used for experimental cultures of interest in the region concerned.

Two Forestry Stations, one at Santa Monica, Los Angeles County, the other near Chico, Butte County, are used for experimental growing of trees likely to be of practical value in this State. The management of these stations was transferred to the University by the legislature in 1893.

Co-operative Experiments. In addition to work at formal establishments the divisions of the experiment station use private lands in cooperative experiments of various kinds for which individuals or communities provide for local expenditures.

Experiment Station Publications.-To obtain a list of available publications apply to the Director for the latest bulletin which contains the list desired.

HARMON GYMNASIUM

The Gymnasium, presented to the University by the late A. K. P. Harmon, is well equipped, and provides all the students with opportunities for physical education. Besides the main hall, rowing room, and athletic quarters, there are one hundred and sixty-five shower baths and two thousand lockers.

The exercises in the gymnasium are conducted systematically under the supervision of the Professor of Physical Education.

HEARST HALL

Hearst Hall was presented to the University by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst for a Women's Gymnasium. It contains the very best of modern equipment. In a separate building, and connected with the gymnasium, are two hundred shower baths, with hot and cold water. There are about three hundred dressing rooms and twelve hundred lockers. The lower hall is used as a general gathering place for the women of the University.

Connected with the gymnasium is a swimming pool, 40 by 70 feet, and two enclosed courts used as outdoor gymnasiums, as well as for basketball and other games suitable for women.

SWIMMING POOL

The recent construction of an open-air swimming pool in Strawberry Cañon has furnished an opportunity for water sports. This pool is 232 feet long, 76 feet wide, and 10 feet deep in the deepest parts, holds a half million gallons of water, and by a constant flow of filtered water is kept in admirable condition.

INFIRMARY

In return for the Infirmary fee, each student is entitled to consultation, and medical and hospital care at the Infirmary, on the campus. The daily average of dispensary consultations and treatments exceeds a hundred and fifty. Full hospital care is given in case of serious illness.
