such a nature, and so well illustrated, that they will interest not 

 only those working in the particular field of which the article 

 treats, but all who desire to keep informed in an authoritative 

 way of progress made in plant and animal breeding and eugenics." 



The magazine will be issued monthly instead of quarterly as 

 hitherto. 



This enlargement and improvement of The American Breeders' 

 Magazine is made possible only by a guarantee fund of $3,000 

 annually for three years pledged by members and friends of the 

 Association to cover possible deficits. 



It is to be hoped that the increase in membership which the 

 work and the publications of the association warrant will make 

 the use of the guarantee fund unnecessary. 



The number issued for October contains the following articles 

 illustrated by eleven full-page plates and one half-page plate: 



Announcement of Reorganization of the Association. 



New Citrous Fruits, by Walter T. Swingle. 



Eugenic Immigration, by Robert DeC. Ward. 



New Plants for Breeders, by David Fairchild. 



Color Inheritance in Swine, by W. W. Smith. 



Publications Received. 



Report of Fourth International Conference on Genetics. 



Association Matters. 



Since the above was written, three further numbers of the 

 publication have appeared of which the first two complete volume 

 IV. The issue for January, 1914, bears the new title "The 

 Journal of Heredity," and announces that the American Breeders' 

 Association is henceforth to be called the American Genetic 

 Association. These three issues under the new management 

 show marked enlargement and improvement, fully meeting the 

 plans announced in the preceding number.
