Publications. 



The Station is organized so that the work of investigation is 

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

 gation are pubHshed in the bulletins of the Station. These make- 

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

 inspection are printed in publications known as Official Inspec- 

 tions. These are paged independently of the bulletins and are 

 bound in with the annual report as an appendix thereto. Mis- 

 cellaneous publications consisting of newspaper notices of bulle- 

 tins, newspaper bulletins and circulars which are not paged 

 consecutively and for the most part are not included in the 

 annual report are issued during the year. 



All 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 which bear upon 

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

 general mailing list composed chiefly of farmers within the 

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

 inspection are sent to a special list including all dealers in Maine 

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

 to directors of experiment stations and to libraries. Copies of 

 all publications are sent to the newspapers within the State and 

 to the press on the exchange list outside of the State.
