Second Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Agricultural College of New Mexico Concerning the Agricultural Experiment Station, 1890-91

Annual and Biennial Reports of the Regents of the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts concerning the Agricultural Experiment Station had been sent to the Governor of New Mexico since 1891. The reports contained updates on the progress on studies and research projects conducted by staff members of the station. In addition, a financial statement of receipts and expenditures was included. The Hatch Act that was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1887 provided federal grant funds to set up and support a national network of agricultural experiment stations distributed across U.S. states and territories. Linked to land-grant colleges, already established under the Morrill Act of 1862, the stations have become scientific research centers substantially contributing to the advancement of agricultural industry, environmental preservation, and human health. This digital collection includes reports published between 1889 and 1978
