UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF A6
RIcULIURE, OFFICE OF THE SEcRKTA-
RY,
wAsHIxsrox, DC.
Sept. l6, 1899.
Hon MARION BUTLER, L. 5. SENATE,
WAsHINGToS, ID. C:
SIR:-t have the honor to invite your
attention TO the accompanying list OF
Farmers, Bulletins and TO the follow
ing paragraph in the act making ap
preparations for the Department Of
Agriculture for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1900.
OF which sum So, 900 shall
be available for the preparation and
printing of Farmers Bulletins, which
shall be adapted to the interest Of the
people Of the different sections Of the
country, an equal proportion Of two
thirds of which shall be delivered to,
furnished BY Senators, Representa-
tives, and Delegates in Congress, as
each senator, Representative, ar Dele
gate may direct: Provided, That toe
Secretary of Agriculture shall notify
Senators and Representatives of the
title and character OF each such bulle,
tin with the total number ia
which each Senator, Representative
and Delegate may be entitled for dis
| tributiOn; and on the face Of the en-.
velope inclosinG said bulletins shall
| be printed the title of each bulletin
contained therein: Provided further
That all such bulletins included in the
quotas of Senators, RepresentatiXe s
or Delegates not called for Oh or before
the 3Oth day of June In each 6sca
year shall revert to the Secretary Of
Agriculture, and be available to him
either for miscellaneous distribution
or in making up Congressional quOta'
for the next fiscal year.
During the last year twenty-five
new Farmers Bulletins were issued
the numbers and titles of which (frOn
70 to 1907 are given in the subjolnet
list, which also contains the TITLES o
those heretofore issued that are still
of sufficient value to warrant thei
further distribution. Some of them ar
of permanent value and may be dis
tributed to advantage indefinitely
The quota for the present year, in &C
cordance with the provision of lav
above cited, has been fixed at a tOts
of 5000 copies, an increase Of 1000 cop
les over last years allotment. Thi
increase is made possible because no
all the quotas of Senators, Represen
tatlves and delegates for last yea
were taken, and therefore some revert
ed to the Secretary of Agriculture an
are available to him, "either for mis-
cellaEeOus distribution or in maxim
up Congressional quotas for the mex
: fiscal year." New bulletins will be il
sued from time to time, of which 20
will receive due notice, and In film
: orders they will be taken up in the or
, der in which the same are received
= 1t will not be possible to supply an
entire quota from one bulletin, becaus
of the expensive character Of som
, of them, and the rule of last yes
limiting the greatest number that ma
be requested Of any one bulletin TO 81
: copies will be again observed.
P Very respectfully,
I JAMES WILSON,
. Secretary
