Publications. 



T'he Station is organized so that the work of investigat'on is 

 distinct from the work of inspection. The results of investi- 

 gation are ]")ublished in the bulletins of the Station. These 

 make up the annual report for the year. The results of the 

 work of ins]:tection are printed in publications known as Official 

 Inspections. These are paged independently of the bulletins 

 and are bound in with the annual report as an appendix thereto. 

 Miscellaneous publications consisting of newspaper notices of 

 bulletins, newspaper bulletins and circulars whic'h are not paged 

 consecutively and for the most part are not included in the 

 annual report are issued during the year. 



Ail the bulletins issued by the Station are sent to the names 

 upon the official mailing list prepared by the Office of Experi- 

 ment Stations, to all newspapers in Maine and to libraries and 

 to agricultural exchanges. Bulletins which have to do with 

 general agriculture and the Official Inspections whidh bear upon 

 the feeding stuffs, fertilizer and seed inspections are sent to a 

 general maihng list composed chiefly of farmers within the 

 State. The publioatiions having to do with the food and drug 

 inspection are sent to a special list including all dealers in ]\faine 

 and other citizens who request them. The annual report is sent 

 to directors of experim'ent stations and to libraries. Co])ies of 

 all publications are sent to the newspapers within the State and 

 to the ])ress on the exchange list outside of the State.
