establishment thereon of an agricultural experiment station by the de-
partment of agriculture, on the terms and conditions set out in an act of
the general assembly of Virginia, approved on February first, nineteen
hundred and one; and

Whereas, it is now considered by the State board of agriculture and

release the department of agriculture, or the State board of agriculture
and immigration, from the obligation to maintain an experimental sta-
tion upon the said tract of land, and also to convey to the State of Vir-
ginia the reversionary interest and any and all rights of the said county

dred and one, for such consideration and upon such terms as may be
