In addition the Board has held ill business meetings : (39 in 

 Boston, 14 in Westborough, 3 in Amherst, 2 in Springfield, 1 

 in Easthampton, 1 in Concord and 1 in Barre. 



Since the organization of the Board the secretary has pub- 

 lished forty annual volumes, comprising 24,977 pages of matter 

 pertaining to agriculture and kindred subjects, and embracing 

 in all an issue of upwards of 420,000 copies. An examination 

 of the pages of this index will reveal, in a measure, the char- 

 acter of the agricultural literature of the last half-century, and 

 will also indicate the part the Board has taken in the develop- 

 ment of the agriculture of the Commonwealth. It is hardly 

 too much to add, in conclusion, that these volumes form a 

 complete agricultural library in themselves, and it is hoped 

 that this index will be a key by which the valuable matter 

 contained in them may be made readily accessible and of the 

 greatest use possible. 



Acknowledgments are due the second clerk in the office, 

 Howard N. Legate, B.Sc, for assistance in the preparation 

 of this volume.
