46 , STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



lievG that the name of the bound volume wliich we issue has deceived some 

 instirulioiis into the belief that our reports had not been sent. In this State 

 the Board of AyricuUure has no existence except tlirough tlie law organizing 

 the Agricultural College, 'fhe reports of this College are therefore bound 

 witii the title, "Michigan Board of Agriculture." In nearly all the States 

 the Board of Agriculture has an existence independent of the College, and 

 the chief duties of the Board are not related to tlie college. 



It has been thought desirable to ])reserve and bind the reports and cata- 

 logues of other similar institutions, and institutions are requested to complete 

 for our library their issues of reports and catalogues. 



We have tiie following documents, mostly bound into volumes, those of each 

 institution by itself. From
