ENCLOSURE TO PART III. Growth, flowering, and bolling records were kept, while plant diagrams were made of a number of plants of each variety together with diagrams of other varieties which were grown in observation rows. METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS. Rainfall and temperature records (max. and min.) were kept from the commencement of the season, but additional records will be kept in future now that the Station is equipped with the requisite instruments such as a thermograph, barograph, wet and dry bulb thermometers, and sunshine recorder. ScieNTiFiIc EQUIPMENT. A sum of £300 was voted for this purpose, but it was not possible to utilise 1t all before the end of the financial year. Sanction to carry over the grant to the following year was willingly accorded by the Treasury and it is satisfactory to record that the Station is now well equipped in this respect. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AND STOCK. The implements on the Station consist of : 1 Three-furrow disc plough. ! Set zig-zag harrows. + Dise harrow. I Cotton and mealie planter. 1 Ox wagon. Picks, spades, mattocks, ete. The live stock on the farm consists of two spans of trek oxen, which do all the ploughing, harrowing, carting, and general work on the station. LABOUR. About thirty natives are employed continuously on ploughing, cultivation, brick-making, building and general work. The stumping and clearing of the land is carried out by convict labour, as available. Bulbine. These are all made of Kimberley brick, with corrugated iron roofs, concrete foundations and ant-proof sheets of zinc between 4th and 5th courses. The Plant Breeders’ house was the first building to be erected, and is, therefore, the worst constructed, as it had to be rushed up in a hurry prior to the rainy season. The remaining buildings were built during the following dry season. They are: — I. Foreman’s house. 2. Botanical Laboratory, with dark room. 3. Office. 4 Cotton store. 5. Insect proof iron cage, 8 ft. x 12 ft. x 20 ft. The latter was built at an approximate cost of £40, with a view to testing the possibility of raising specially selected cotton plants in it, and to note their behaviour when grown under cage conditions. A limited number of plants from each variety of Cotton were reared in this cage, and plant diagrams made of each for comparison with diagrams made of plants from the same varieties grown under field conditions. When these diagrams have been completed, it is 161
