24 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



by two sessions of the General Court. But during these years 

 of reconstruction it was necessary for the Department to con- 

 tinue to function. It has issued many new pubhcations and 

 reprinted with more or less of revision many of the earlier 

 publications of the Board of Agriculture. Part of the time 

 there seems to have been no plan for listing publications, and 

 later a system was devised that is somewhat confusing. 



Since May, 1922, a uniform system of numbering has been 

 adopted without regard to size of the publication. As the 

 highest numeral used to designate any publication issued either 

 by the present Department or the former Board was below 

 100, the first publication in the new series is numbered Depart- 

 ment Publication No. 101. It is proposed to adhere to a uni- 

 form numbering, with everything in one series, and to assign 

 the numbers in the order that copy is sent to the printer.
