photograph
of the
Ohio
Agricultural
Experiment
Station
illustrates
test
plots
started
by
William
R
.
Lazenby
, the
station's
first
director
.
Lazenby
applied
manure
,
ashes
, and
lime
to the
soil
of his
test
plots
to
test
the
effectiveness
of
various
fertilizers
. The
soil
along
the
Olentangy
River
where
Lazenby
created
his
test
plots
was
so
fertile
that
it
appeared
that
fertilizer
made
little
difference
.
Note
the
Ohio
State
University
in the
background
of the
test
plots
. This
photograph
is
part
of an
extensive
collection
of
photographs
,
tools
, and
artifacts
dealing
with the
history
of the
OARDC
. In
1882
, the
Ohio
State
University
established
an
experiment
station
to
bolster
its
agriculture
program
,
which
critics
charged
was
being
shortchanged
by a
shift
towards
liberal
arts
education
.
Charles
Thorne
,
who
had
led
the
campaign
for a
separate
station
,
became
its
first
director
. The
Hatch
Act
of
1887
, a
federal
act
that
provided
funding
for
experiment
stations
, was a
response
to the
land-grant
universities
'
abandonment
of their
agricultural
and
mechanical
roots
. In
1892
, the
experiment
station
moved
from
Columbus
to
Wooster
in
Wayne
County
.
Researchers
there
worked
with
farmers
around
the
state
improve
crop
yields
,
animal
nutrition
,
animal
husbandry
, and
pest
control
. In
1965
the
name
was
changed
to the
Ohio
Agricultural
Research
and
Development
Center
. The
OARDC
and
Ohio
State
University
officially
merged
in
1981
.
