The last time it ran into an an,h. rr.Ss-
ment of this sort vas when tho met
spring IT issued its now famous .birtl
book, which was a manual Of the com
mon farm and orchard birds of interest
TO farmers. There was such a shoal of
requests for copies that the department.
has never been able to catch up with the
requests.
This time 1t Is in connection with the
weekly news letter. that Secretary
Houston undertook to get out as a sort
of compensation to the 5000 crop cor
respondents who get no other reward
TOT their services. The first issue of
this letter has just been put out. It
consists Of about 1880 words of type
writing. giving in popular language and
paragraph form summaries of bulletins
and other things Of immediate interest to
agriculturists. "s
The intention was to get out an edi-
ton just large enough to supply the
correspondents. The first number con
tanned paragraphs about Investigations
into seed adulteration. damage to In.
market value of hides by the cattle
tick; action against unbranded insec-
ticides. ETC., OF direct Interest to farm
ters: There was an immediate flood of
applications for the letter from coun-
try papers and besides other things a
request that copy be sent to each of
the $4,000 post Offices for posting for
the benefit of visitors.
All this was quite complimentary, but
the appropriation for white paper
alone to meet such u demand was too
much OF drain. and the mechanical
facilities for printing and mailing all
the copies We're entirely inadequate. So
the department Is now looking around
for some way to sidestep gracefully
without hurting any ones feelings.

Patent Office Repairs Cannot Be
Made From Available Funds.

Although the patent office building
