PUBLICATION RECEIVED. 



The year ijook of the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture for 1909 has been 

 Issued. The Secretary's annual report 

 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909, 

 Is followed by twenty-three papers 

 treating of a variety of topics. All of 

 these articles are new and are here 

 published for the first time. They are 

 illustrated by 36 full page plates (11 

 colored) and 36 text figures. These 

 articles occupy 263 of the 652 pages 

 composing the volume — the first 152 

 pages being devoted to the Secretary's 

 business report, and the last 236 as- 

 signed to the Appendix and Index. 

 Jos. A. Arnold is the Editor. 



As much of the damage that forest 

 trees of all localities are practically 

 every day suffering from Flat-headed 

 Borers can be prevented by the use of 

 methods of control recommended by 

 expert forest entomologists, the article 

 "Injuries to Forest Trees by Flat- 

 headed Borers" in which a number of 

 these insects are described, their life 

 histories given, and effective remedies 

 outlined should prove of value not only 

 to lumbermen and owners of forests 

 tracts but to every land owner posses- 

 sing a woodlot, and to the users of 

 lumber of any kind. 



The Weather Bureau's most impor- 

 tant service is issuing daily forecasts 

 of the weather for every state in the 

 Union, and special warnings of storms, 

 frosts, coldwaves, heavy snows and 

 floods, for the benefit of mariners, far- 

 mers, and the rest of the population. 

 Therefore, an explanation of "How 

 Farmers May Utilize the Special 

 Warnings of the Weather Bureau" is 

 not only of interest to all, but comes 

 with especial timeliness as the recent 

 losses by unseasonable cold have de- 

 monstrated the need of such informa- 

 tion by the growers in general. Sup- 

 plementing this article is one entitled 

 "Prevention of Frost Injury to Fruit- 

 Crop." The two combined offer many 

 suggestions of methods for protecting 

 strawberries and truck crops, gardens 

 and flowerbeds, field crops and or- 

 chards—the latter including both citrus 

 and deciduous fruits, by the use of hill- 

 ing or banking, firing, smudges, irriga- 

 tion and spraying, and the erection of 

 sheds, screens and tents. "The hand- 

 ling of Deciduous Fruit on the Pacific 

 Coast" and "Promising New Fruits" 

 are far from being the least valuable 

 of the series, as the enormous growth 

 and development of the deciduous 

 fruit industry of the Pacific Coast have 

 brought forward for solution many 

 problems until recently unknown to 

 the trade, while the hope of finding 

 valuable varieties among the new 

 fruits produced by plant breeders, al- 

 ways holds an alluring prospect before 

 the practical fruit grower.
