Collection Information
Abstract:

These records contain annual and biennial reports from the Agricultural Research Service, all under its former designation of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. The records date from 1879 to 1985, but there are numerous gaps in the collection.

The Agricultural Research Service began as the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station in 1877. The Experiment Station, the second of its kind in the United States, was established to conduct tests on commercial fertilizers and other agricultural products, as well as to perform experimental research on agricultural nutrition and growth. As such, the Experiment Station worked closely with the North Carolia Department of Agriculture.

Historical Note


The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station was created by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture in 1877, and was the second station in the United States (after the one in Connecticut). The early activities of the station consisted of running tests on chemical fertilizers and other agricultural products, and performing experiments concerning crop nutrition and growth. The station was transferred from state control to North Carolina State University in 1889. Thereafter the station was jointly run by the two groups and became a source of contention between the Department of Agriculture and the University through the early part of the twentieth century. In 1979 the title "Agricultural Experiment Station" was changed to "Agricultural Research Service."
