Results of a survey among 32 experiment station editors.. Aspects: types and size of annual reports, financing, editing systems, comments from editors, reactions of station personnel whose work is edited.
Feels that experiment station literature is losing ground in the scientific world. "..scientists generally are not looking to the experiment station bulletin for important contributions to science." Suggests that the station editor can help maintain high scientific standards, as well as high editorial standards. "Briefly, then, believing that the chief function of an experiment station is to experiment and that the chief purpose of its publications is to describe the experiments and announce the results rather than to persuade people to adopt new and supposedly better practices, we are striving to raise the standards of our technical publications addressed to the scientist, whether he is primarily interested in agricultural research or not, and to make the publications addressed to our farmers technically sound and practically worth while."

Office of Experiment Station Bulletin No. 154., Comment by Hall: "It is the experiment station and not the agricultural college that has wrought such a marvelous change in the farmers of America toward scientific agriculture. Professor Chamberlain comments upon the change in the institutes that took place soon after the Hatch Act brought into existence the experiment stations, as follows: 'It was my privilege to compare the agricultural conventions of the state (Wisconsin) at two periods separated by a decade within which the experiment station became a potent influence. The dominant intellectual and moral attitude of the earlier period was distinctly disputatious and dogmatic. .. In the second period the dominant attitude was that of scientific conference.'" (p. 54)
