Ciit:il()<i"U(' for iiiiTicultural lihnirios; an iiulox of scientific pcriodicul.s; 

 inojiioir of the National Institiito of Agriculture at Paris; proi^ress of 

 secondary education in ai»'riculture; the exiiibit of the huid-ij;rant col- 

 legfes and a^ricultuial experiment stations at St. Louis, and conclusion 

 of Vol. XIV. 



The largest undertakino- connected with the Record has been the com- 

 pletion of the y^eneral index to the first twelve volumes. This work, 

 which has been in pro^ross for some two 3'ears, has proved far more 

 time-consuming" and laboi-ious than could be anticii)ated. It covers 

 the two ])arts of Experiment Station bulletin No. 2, which contain the 

 a))stracts of the rei)orts of the ex])eriment stations for IS.SS, the first 

 year after their organization under the Hatch Act, as well as Volumes 

 1 to XII of the Experiment Station Record. It therefore bej^ins with 

 the work of the experiment stations under the Hatch Act and covers 

 the period down to the close of the century (the year 1900). The 

 indexes to this work are contained in fourteen ditierent volumes, many 

 of them lariic and cumbersome to handle. In combinini»; these indexes 

 the entries have been systematized and extended, and every effort has 

 been made to make the references complete under appropriate head- 

 ings and easily found ])y means of cross references. In its complet(>d 

 form the index contains about 125,000 entries, and is undoubtedly the 

 most extensive index to the literature of agricultural experimentation 

 which has ever been issued.
