56 MONTANA EXPERIMENT STATION 



information has been buried so deeply in publications which were 

 intended to both aid the farmer and also give, with necessary com- 

 pleteniess, the findings of the investigator, that it has escaped the 

 notice of the farmers. 



The publications of the entomologist will in the future be pre- 

 pared with due regard for the purpose for which they are intended 

 and will usually fall under the following headings : 



(a) Circulars, or brief treatises, each dealing with a particular 

 subject. Because of their brevity they can be prepared and printed 

 quickly and so luay be used in emergencies, and because of their 

 small size they may be folded and sent in letters, thus giving tbe 

 information in better form than is possible in the space of a letter. 



(b) Bulletins, or more extended and formal publications 

 covering leach a single subject or a group of related subjects. 



(c) Journal articles, or occasional papers published in the en- 

 tomological journals of the country. The subject matter covered 

 in these articles will be such that its publication should not be de- 

 layed. 



(d) Executive reports to the Governor. Such reports as the 

 present one are of interest only to executive officers and members of 

 the legislature.
