			<p>This collection consists primarily of annual bound research reports spanning the
				years 1919-1953 from the Washington Agricultural Experiment Station located at the
				State College of Washington (later Washington State University). The various reports
				contained herein represent the combined work of numerous departments working on the
				Washington Agricultural Experiment Station and cover a variety of horticultural,
				entomological, agricultural, and biological findings related to a wide array of
				topics illuminating industrialized agriculture and animal husbandry at the beginning
				of the twentieth century. They contain research data and analysis on the varieties
				of Palouse region farm crops, horticulture, plant pathology, and soils; data and
				experiments on a variety of plants including alfalfa, sunflowers, wheat, barley,
				peas, soy beans, and potatoes; and data, field notes, computations, and extracts
				recorded by members of a variety of departments involved in agricultural research.
				They also contain daily air temperature readings obtained by air and soil
				thermograph for Rhizoctonia work on potato crops.</p>
