JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



We are using the following simplified classification for Agriculture, 

 for instance : 



General works — 

 Bibliography 



Biography and miscellany 

 History and education 

 Dictionaries, etc. 

 General treatises 

 Serial publications (reports, bulletins, etc.) 



U. S. federal publications 



States (alphabetically by States) 



Canadian 



Other foreign countries 

 General farm practice — 

 Farm economics 

 Farm buildings 



Agricultural physics and chemistry 

 Soil surveys 



Clearing and reclamation of land 

 Tillage and rotation 

 Farm machinery and engineering 

 Plant culture and horticulture — 



Care of crop from seed to harvest 

 Care of product from harvest to market 

 Field and forage crops 

 Vegetables 



Fruit culture and orchard care 

 Flowers and ornamentals 

 Pests and diseases 

 Birds, etc., as aids in agriculture 

 Animal culture (most of which comes under Grazing in Forestry, and so needs 

 little if any subdividing). 



This is quite ample enough for a forestry library and is more logical 

 for our uses than a mere condensation of a more general scheme. 



So much for logical arrangement, which is the field of the forester 

 rather than of the librarian. As to the detail necessary in any library, 

 of course the proposed scheme, like any other workable one, can be 

 expanded or condensed as necessary. I would only suggest this : in 

 a general forestry library a large amount of the material consists of 

 reports, proceedings, bulletins, and other serials, coming from a long 

 list of countries, States, cities, societies, etc. We have found it neces- 

 sary here, and I think most libraries of the kind would, to subdivide 

 Mr. Korstian's division .06 into the following: Societies, U. S. Federal 

 publications, State publications, British Empire publications, Other 

 foreign countries, Cities ; and we have had to further subdivide the 

 voluminous reports of the British Empire into Canadian, Indian, Aus-
