ANNOUNCEMENT OF WEEKLY PUBLICATION 



The past two years have witnessed the partial realization 

 of a plan, long favored by officers of this Department and of 

 the State Agricultural Experiment Stations, for centralized 

 publication of some of the results of scientific research upon 

 agricultural problems. 



With the more general appreciation of the econom,ic neces- 

 sity for further researches in all scie-nces allied to agriculture 

 and the recognition of the suitability of the Journal of Agri- 

 cultural Research for recording new data of fundamental sig- 

 nificance to agriculture, tlie papers awaiting publication in 

 this Journal have increased to a degree that warrants more 

 frequent issuance. Beginning with Volume V, therefore, a 

 number of the Journal of Agricultural Research will appear 

 each week.
