FARMERS BULLETINS. 



The number of new Farmers' Bulletins issued during the year was 

 18, a list of which is given elsewhere. The aggregate number of 

 copies of these new bulletins was 525,000. Reprints were called for 

 of ftO bulletins, which aggregated 1,835,000 copies, making the total 

 number of copies of Farmers' Bulletins printed during the year 

 2,360,000. The number distributed through Members of Congress was 

 1,066,900, the law then in force reserving two-thirds of the whole num- 

 ber for the use of Senators, Representatives, and Delegates. Nearly 

 100,000 copies more than the quota reserved for them was conse- 

 quently distributed in this manner, notwithstanding that 57 Members 

 failed to order anj*. The quota reserved for each Senator, Repre- 

 sentative, and Delegate was 5,000, an increase over the j^revious year 

 of 1,000. This increase was due to the fact that a large proportion of 

 the ([uota due Members of Congress remained uncalled for at the close 

 of the fiscal year 1899, and this surplus was added, under the order of 

 the Secretary, to the quota available for Members for the next year. 

 For the year 1901 the amount appropriated for the printing and prep- 

 aration of Farmers' Bulletins has been raised from $35,000 to -$57,500 

 and the proportion reserved for Senators, Representati\es, and Dele- 

 gates is increased from two-thirds to four- fifths. Under tliis arrange- 

 ment it Avill doubtless be possible to print about 3,500,000 copies, of 

 whicli 2,800,000 would properly be due to Members of Congress; 

 and as there still remains a small surplus from the unused Congres- 

 sional quotas for the year 1899, the Secretary has authorized that the 

 allotment for the year 1901 be fixed at 7,000 copies. 



The table following shows the total number of Farmers' Bulletins, 

 originals and reprints, issued during the year, and the total number of 

 copies together, for purposes of comparison, with like figures for 1899.
