PUBLICATIONS RELATING TO FOOD PRODUCTION AND CONSERVATION. 



The intensive campaign to increase food production and to con- 

 serve the food supply begun last year was continued. 



For emergency printing, to assist in this campaign, the depart- 

 ment had a special appropriation. This was utilized in the printing 

 and distribution of various reports, leaflets, documents, informa- 

 tional circulars, etc., requiring immediate dissemination. The 

 expenditures for such emergency printing aggregated about $235,000. 

 Some of the regular publications also were utilized in the depart- 

 ment's campaign. This is indicated in the statement following, 

 showing the total number of copies of certain Farmers' Bulletins
