AS a partial substitute for the
printed Crop Reporter. a Weekly
News Letter to crop correspondents
will be issued in typewriter or other |
form. This "a be prepared and put
into the mails sooner than was pos.
sible with the Reporter. 1t is be.
lieved that the Weekly News will be
far more timely than notices issued
heretofore only once a month. Its
circulation will be limited to official
crop correspondents. The News
Letter will contain summaries Of
more important discoveries and rec.
concentrations of the various bureaus
divisions and Offices.
The Experiment Station Record. !
the Weather Review . and North

articles Of the magazine type, which

popularity and value of the volume.
of which 100000 copies are printed
and distributed annually.
Department Series Of Bulletins.

Of the various bureaus, divisions and
Offices will be printed. These bulle-

scientific. or popular in character.
They will capitalize for popular use
the discoveries of laboratories and
scientific specialists.

The series OF Farmers Bulletins !
will be continued. The object of
these bulletins is to tell the people
how to do important things. The
bulletins will contain practical. con-

statements with regard to matters
relating to farming, stock raising.
fruit growing, etc. Under the new
plan the bulletins will be reduced
in size to from 1G to 20 pages. and
will deal particularly with conditions
In restricted sections, rather titan
attempt, as heretofore. to cover the
entire country.
Much of the information calling for
immediate circulation will be issued
hereafter in the form Of statements
to the press instead Of being held
back as heretofore for weeks until a.
bulletin could be printed and issued.
The publication of bulletins deal
ing with foreign crop statistics will
be discontinued. Material of this
character when deemed important
will be furnished to the press for
the information of the public. I
Changes in Annual Reports.
Consideration is bling given to the
discontinuance of certain annual re-.
ports of bureaus now required by law
to be printed, with the belief that
much of the matter therein contained
