I2,79S pamphlets, a very considerable proportion
being accompanied by personal letters. these
figures are without the slightest Imitation. we
have devoted but little attention 10 general I'M
migration, but have endeavored to reach the
leading men in the industries covered IN our
publications. For instance, every coal pro
Queer IN the country has had our bulletin IN
coal; members OF the leading horti cultural
society OF the country have had our bulletin on
that subject, and SO on. Some subjects are OF
interest TO such large class that Ike pouc!
cannot be pursued, and while we can send out
in this way bulletin on hops 70 growers IN this
country and abroad. we Sculd not send out one
on wheat. We hope the system OF outside al
bertising we have inaugurated will find us
interested readers on these general subjects. In
addition to this circulation, the papers OF tne
state have very generally published our bulle-
tins and several Eastern papers have made them
the basis OF valuable articles.
The merit of our publications has been ac-
knowiedged generally. We are now In CORE
spondeuee with the heads OF the passenger de-
partments OF the various transcontnental rail-
roads with a view 20 securing their cooperation
All of them are advertising this state, and we
have endeayored TO show them that our publ
cations are superior TO anything they can
gather Negotiations have progressed so lar
that We feel warranted in saying that the rail-
road companies will reprint and distribute sew
eral hundred thousand copies OF our pamphlets
without cost TO us.
1t our income were larger we could do far
more and We hope our mem bers and our TRENDS
VIII take il upon themselves to devise measures
by which our revenue can be increased. In
prosperous times, when such work IS least
needed, there is little trouble in securing all
funds that might be called for. We feel conf
dent that when times improve we viii be IN re-
celpt OF money sufficient TO carry out every good
plan, and in the meantime we hope for your
continued support and good Will. We ought to
advertise in 10000 papers, instead of in 1900,
but we can not do so without larger revenue.
We cannot expect TO secure the $1,000 week
raised in Portland for the Oregon board, or the
$4,000 a year san Francisco gives 10 the Cali
tornla board. We may do that when our board
IS as old as theirs, but just in the beginning OF
our work every dollar will help us.
Heretofore we have given the most of our at
tention to certain industries in the distribution
OF our publications. Hereafter will try to
reach the general public more extensively, and
aim by advertising TO induce correspondence.
II we have as much success in this course as in
our previous work, we and our members will be
satisfied. We shall endeayor TO give our mem
bers every facility to reach those whom We
reach, and we hope when business throughout
the East improves slightly, we shall have album
dant returns.
Hoping to hear from you in any matter of
mutual interest. and that you viii do your ut
most to extend the financial aid we need.
