the manner and with the powers provided by section fifty-seven hundred
twelve of this chapter. Cornell university shall have the power to
appoint a director and such other scientific and expert workers and
employees deemed necessary to accomplish the objects of such experiment
station. In such station, said university shall, besides conducting
experiments for the promotion of agricultural science, perform and
report to the commissioner of agriculture and markets such analyses and
other scientific work as such commissioner may request and consider to
be necessary for the administration of the provisions of the agriculture
and markets law. The salaries and other expenses incurred by reason of
such analyses and other scientific service shall be paid from funds
appropriated for such purposes.

2. Cornell university is hereby authorized and empowered to publish
from time to time bulletins giving information of the results of
analyses made at such station of any commodity or substance analyzed
thereat and may in like manner publish bulletins containing the results
of such analyses heretofore made and unpublished.

3. In addition to the number of copies otherwise required by law, the
commissioner of agriculture and markets may, with the approval of the
governor, cause to be printed by the state printer such number of copies
of any report of such station heretofore or hereafter made as he deems
sufficient to meet the public demand therefor. The expense of printing
such copies shall be paid out of the appropriation for legislative
printing, as provided by law. Such copies shall be delivered to such
commissioner and sold by him to the public at the actual cost thereof as
determined by the comptroller.

4. The Cornell university is hereby designated as the institution
