X Maine Agricultural Experiment Station. 



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 and in 

 scientific journals, both foreign and domestic. The bulletins 

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

 work of inspection are printed in publications known as Offi- 

 cial Inspections. These are paged independently of the bulle- 

 tins and are bound in with the annual report as an appendix 

 thereto. Miscellaneous publications consisting of newspaper 

 notices of bulletins, 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. Weekly mimeo- 

 graph publicity letters are sent to all papers within the State. 



All the bulletins issued by the Station are sent to the mem- 

 bers of the staffs of other Stations and the U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture who ask for them, to all newspapers in Maine, 

 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 those on the exchange list outside of the State.
