The Influence of Soil Variation on Crop Production. 

 The Advantages of New England as a Fruit-Growing Center.

In addition to the above the report contains the annual 

 reports to the Board of the State Nursery Inspector, the 

 State Ornithologist, the State Inspector of Apiaries, the State 

 Dairy Bureau, the State Forester, and the semi-annual re- 

 port of the Chief of the Cattle Bureau, all of which are also 

 available in separate form; also the annual report of the 

 Secretary of the Board of Agriculture, a synopsis of the 

 financial returns and premiums and gratuities of the agri- 

 cultural societies, and a directory of agricultural organiza- 

 tions in the State. The volume also includes the annual 

 report of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station 

 at Amherst. This volume is for free distribution, but our 

 appropriation is insufficient to cover transportation charges. 

 Upon receipt of such instructions we shall be pleased to for- 

 ward a copy of the book by express, collect. The postage on 

 the volume cannot be ascertained at this time, but applicants 

 will be informed as soon as possible. It will probably not 

 amount to more than 25 cents.
