1102 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. 



records of agricultural science are printed becomes larger and more 

 difficult each year. While we have received much assistance from 

 publishers and authors in our efforts to secure material for the Becord, 

 we still need the further cooperation of our readers, especially to bring 

 to our attention articles which are first published in out of the way 

 places. It is recognized that the Kecord might well be developed in 

 the direction of adding at least brief abstracts to all the titles recorded. 

 Our present force of workers will permit little, if any, expansion in the 

 amount of matter prepared for publication. It is a fact to be deplored 

 that from time to time long articles of much importance are passed 

 over with only a brief notice because of the time required to make a 

 satisfactory review of them. We are, however, encouraged by the 

 increasing testimony regarding the value of a comprehensive review 

 of the current literature of agricultural science to make renewed efforts 

 to make our work in this line still more complete and satisfactory.
