The State grant to these 17 analysis offices amounted in 1912 to GO 000
kronor, and the combined grants from the Agricultural Societies and the County
Councils to 56 000 kronor.
The director of each of these offices issues an annual report, and the Board
of Agriculture afterwards publishes a summary of all these reports.
Agricultural Experimental Institutions.
As in other countries, agricultural experiments in Sweden were, at first,
closely connected with the work of control. The earliest experimental work,
both at the Academy of Agriculture and at the Agricultural High Schools, was of
this kind, and, to a certain degree, is so still, as a number of chemical stations
carry on their researches side by side with their proper tasks of giving advice
and information to farmers and others, and of inspecting agricultural products
and other necessities of life.

Central Establishment for Agricultural Experiments at the Experimentalfältet,
Stockholm.
Most of the experiments in agriculture are made in connection with the
Central Establishments for Agricultural Experiments, founded in 1906,
which is a development of the work that has long been carried on at the
Experimental Grounds of the Academy of Agriculture. The task of this State
institution is to carry out systematic experiments and scientific investigations
in various parts of the country for the purpose of benefiting agriculture, while
it is also to place itself in communication with other experimental Establishments
that work for the improvement of agriculture.
