58 ANNUAL EEPOKTS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



INTENSIVE SNOW SURVEYS. 



Intensive snow surveys were conducted on Cottonwood Creek, a 

 tributary of the Boise River, of Idaho, also in the Paradise Creek 

 Valley, in the headquarters of the White River of Arizona. These 

 survej'S were in addition to the series of daily measurements of the 

 amount of snowfall made at elevated stations in the Western States. 



PRINTING AND PUBLICATIONS. 



The demands made on the bureau for printing and lithographic 

 work of every description have been such as to tax our force and 

 plant to their fullest capacity. The edition of the National Weather 

 and Crop Bulletin, which was 3,750 copies at the close of the last 

 fiscal year, had to be increased to 4,200 copies at present, although 

 nearly 600 addresses were dropped during the annual purging of the 

 mailing list in March. A reduction of 120 copies in the edition of the 

 daily Washington weather map resulted from the purging process in 

 April. 



The following table shows the principal output of our printing
