When the Bulletin'was printed at the G.P.D.450 copies 'fere printed monthly. 
si . 
In 1908 it was found necessary to increase the number printed to 1000 copies. 
This was due to the increased demand for the Bulletin 
Owing to its regular appearance,we could afford to ash for the 
rublicaticns of other Depts.cf Agriculture in other countries and at the 
x * 
uc 
rresent moment we receive over BOO such publications. Should the publication 
A 
of cur Bulletin cease,we shall lose a large proportion of those publications 
to the detriment cf the Department. 
This Bulletin has therefore obtained a considerable reputation amongst 
other stations throughout the World and should the name be changed or a 
nevr publecation commence,the wcrh of all those years will be nullified. 
In 1906 the late hr.Carruthers,Director of Agriculture,FJ'.S, approached 
j. 
L t 
the Editor with the same idea. The case as now stated was explained to him 
Bui“etin 
and he agreed that the publication should remain .is it was and that it 
should be a combined publication between the two Departments,he being 
the Co-editor. This he did until his retirement in 1908 
Under those circumstances,therefore,I would suggest that the publication 
of the Bulletin be continued as at present and that the Director o£ Agriculture 
FhlhS.be ashed to be Co-Editor but that the actual editing and issuing of the 
Bui etin be left in the hands of the Cardens Dept.S’pore to. whom all 
cormumicaticns should be sent
