The seventeenth volume of the
Yearbook 19l0) will soon be issued
by the u. s. Department of Agricult-
ure In appearance and makeup it
differs but little from it's predecessors;
it contains % articles; 40 full page
illustrations, of which eight are
colored and 81 text figures.
The Departments appreciation of
the service of the late Senator Jona-
than Prentiss DoIliver rendered to
agriculture during his public career
is expressed in the selection of a por-
trait of him as frontispiece.
The Fourteenth Annual Report of
the Seer etary for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1910, occupies the first 156
pages and gives the general report
of the operations of the Department, )"
which, under the law, must form a
part of the volume. This report,
supplemented by the statistical matter
found in the appendix, gives a more
complete and comprehensive summary
of agricultural conditions in the
United States than can be found in
any other single publication.
The next 800 pages, divided between
% articles contributed by members OF
the scientific force of the Department,
contain data upon many of the i'm
portant questions now prominent in
the public eye, and equally vital to
