Financial conditions made it necessary to drop many of the periodicals 

 for which the library had long subscribed, and war conditions rendered 

 it impossible to secure any publication printed in the German language. 

 The usefulness of our reading room has for this season been somewhat 

 limited. The list of periodicals belonging to the Experiment Station 

 remains unchanged except for those in German. 



The following is a list of publications received by the library either 

 through the courtesy of publishers, or in exchange for our own pub- 

 lications : 



Aerial Age. 

 Agrl. Gazette of 

 Agrl. Gazette N. 



Canada. 

 S. Wales. 



Agrl. Jl. of India. 

 Allegan Gazette.
