Letters were forwarded to each agricultural experiment station 

 and to various U. S. Departments for old numbers of titles still 

 missing from our shelves. We added in this way 732 early vol- 

 umes of annual reports and bulletins from the agricultural experi- 

 ment stations and 136 U. S. publications. The receipt of the 

 U. S. bulletins made it possible for us to forward to the binder 

 some sets of early Departmental Bulletins and Farmers' Bulletins 

 of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 



A reference question file has been begun, which now includes 91 

 subject entries. These entries include the source where the infor- 

 mation wanted was found. This will eliminate the necessity of 

 looking up certain reference questions more than once. 



During the early part of the year unbound publications on the 

 agricultural experiment station shelves, as well as U. S. unbound 

 documents, were rewrapped and relabeled in over 600 manila 

 wrappers and over 140 envelopes. 



As a practical aid in locating and shelving serial publications, 

 arranged in alphabetical order, over 130 shelf labels were made 

 with gummed black letters. Almost as many more are needed to 

 cover the remainder of the collection. 



New labels were typewritten for the current periodical shelves, 

 current agricultural experiment station shelves, shelf list, catalogue, 

 and Torrey Botanical Club card files. New black letter labels for 

 the classified book collection were made.
