Fruits and Berries," was issued in December, 1912. The 

 material contained in this bulletin was revised and brought 

 up to date, and the bulletin now contains articles by the fol- 

 lowing well-known authors: Mr. J. H. Hale, Prof. F. A. 

 Waugh, Mr. Geo. T. Powell, Prof. F. C. Sears, Mr. Edw. P. 

 Farrar, Prof. Fred S. Card and Mr. Lucien J. Fosdick. A 

 bibliography of other available literature on fruit culture 

 and upon the various phases of the growing and general care 

 of the different fruits dealt with in the bulletin was compiled 

 and is printed in this publication. An index was also com- 

 piled and added to the bulletin, thus greatly adding to the 

 availability of the knowledge contained in the bulletin. 



A new series of publications was begun in November, 1912, 

 which will be known as '^ Circulars." The first edition of 

 Circular No. 1, entitled " The Food Value of Milk," and 

 written by P. M. Harwood, general agent of the Dairy Bu- 

 reau, was issued in November. Since that time two subse- 

 quent editions have been found necessary, so gi-eat is the 

 interest in this subject. The third edition, revised, was pub- 

 lished in April, 1913, and copies may now be had by apply- 

 ing for them. 



It is the intention to reprint the different Nature Leaflets 

 which are of a technical character as circulars, as the stock 

 now in hand becomes exhausted. Following out this plan 

 Nature Leaflet No. 4 has been rewritten by Dr. H. T. Fer- 

 nald, and has been printed as Circular No. 2, under the title 

 of " Insecticides, Fungicides, and Directions for their Use." 

 After a short discussion of spraying apparatus, and some gen- 

 eral suggestions in regard to spraying, he discusses the differ- 

 ent insecticides, giving formulas and directions for their 

 preparation. Then follows a similar treatment of the differ- 

 ent fungicides, insecticides and fungicides combined, and 

 fumigants. He then takes up the treatment of the insects 

 and diseases attacking the different plants in a concise, direct 

 manner, telling which spray or sprays to use and how and 

 when to apply them. This circular will be sent free upon 

 application. 



The fourth edition, revised, of Nature Leaflet No. 5, " The 

 White-marked Tussock Moth," was issued in December, 1912,
