various bureaus, divisions and Of
fees, but it may be extended to in
clude the scientific research work of
the state agricultural experiment sta
tions, in which event two editors rep
resenting these stations will be add
Ell to the editorial committee. Ex-
tensive scientific articles, embodying
a complete report of research investi-
cations, will be considered as mono
graphs, and may be published as sup
plements to the journal.
Permission will be given to spe-
cialists to publish technical reports
or even monographs in journals of
scientific societies or technical maya
zines specializing in highly restricted
fields of semitic endeavor.
The Journal will be distributed
free to agricultural colleges, tech
meal schools, experiment stations,
libraries of large universities, and
certain government repositories and
institutions making suitable ex-
changes; also to restricted list of
scientists. Copies of the Journal will
be sold to miscellaneous applicants
by the superintendent of documents,
government printing office, and pos
sibly an annual subscription price
will be affixed, as is done with the
Experiment Station Record.
Crop Reporter Discontinued
The Monthly Crop Reporter will
no longer be published The crop
statistics will be collected as hereto
fore, and telegraphic and news sum-
maries of these statistics will con-
tinue to be issued to the press. The
printed Crop Reporter was discon-
tinued because it did not bring the
information into the hands of the
recipients until from 10 to II days
after the really important news had
been circulated by telegraph and
printed in the daily press through
out the United States and Europe,
the statistical information, therefore,
reaching the actual crop correspond
ent and through him the local pro-
Queer too late to be Of practical
service.
AS partial substitute for the
printed Crop Reporter, a Weekly
News Letter to crop correspondents
will be issued in typewriter or other
form. This can 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 Let
ter will contain summaries of more
important discoveries and recon-
mendations of the various bureaus,
divisions and offices.
The Experiment Station Record,
the Weather Review, and North
American Fauna will continue to be
issued with certain notifications
The Yearbook will be restricted to
articles of the magazine type, which
1t is believed will add greatly to the
popularity and value of the volume,
of which 100000 copies are printed
and distributed annually.
In this series all of the publica-
tons of the various bureaus,
divisions and offices will be printed.
These bulletins may be any size from
four to 60 pages, and will be semi
technical or scientific, or popular in
character. They will capitalize for
popular use the discoveries of labor
atories and scientific specialists.
Farmers Bulletins
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-
else and specific and CONSTITUTIONAL
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 16 to 20 pages, and
will deal particularly with conditions
in restricted sections, rather than at
tempt, as heretofore, to cover the en-
tire country.
Much of the information calling
for Immediate circulation will be is
sued hereafter in the form of state
ments 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 thi;
character, when deemed important
will be furnished to the press for the
