106 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



It is with regret that we record the resignation of our assistant Miss Palm, 

 who has accepted a position in the College of Agriculture of Oregon, as head 

 of the circulation clepartment of the library. 



In the reference department much has been accomplished by Miss Feld- 

 kamp, reference librarian in charge. Packages covering 138 subjects have 

 been assembled and are ready for circulation. Two hundred eighty five 

 letters, addressed to teachers of agriculture and home economics, county 

 agents, the Farm Bureau, and the leaders of boy's and girl's clubs have been 

 sent out, and 30 packages have been loaned. 



Bibliographies on the follo-s^dng subjects have been prepared by request 

 of members of the College extension force. 



Cost accounting for cooperative associations. 



Cooperative stores. 



Pure fabric law. 



Cost of keeping horses. 



Agricultural credit. 



Prices. 



For members of our faculty exhaustive references covering the following 

 subjects have been prepared. 



Farm management terminology. 



Cafeterias. 



Construction and operation of %\'indmills. 



County government. 



The manufacture of charcoal. 



The efforts we are making to bring the farmers of the State in closer touch 

 with the College through the extension of library privileges, seems to be quite 

 generally approved, and many letters expressing appreciation of this service 

 have been received. 



For our student assistants, Mr. T. G. Lindquist and Mr. G. W. R. Baldwin, 

 we have only words of commendation. Mr. Lindquist was graduated this 

 year. Mr. Baldwin wall remain through the coming year. 



To the library of the Experiment Station 148 bound volumes have been 

 added, of which 22 were purchased, 15 were gifts, and 111 came by binding. 

 This library now numbers 4,933 volumes. The College library contains 

 41,524 volumes. Total in both libraries, 46,457 volumes. 



Respectfullv submitted, 



LINDA E. LANDON, 

 Librarian.
