SIGN AND RETURN ANNOUNCEMENT CARDS IF YOU WISH THE PUBLICATIONS 
Owing to the size and cost, and sometimes limited editions, of a 
large number of Technical Bulletins, some Statistical Bulletins, some 
Circulars, and all of the Department's reprints of articles in the Jour- 
nal of Agricultural Research, these publications are not automatically 
mailed to persons whose names are entered on the entomological mailing 
list of the Department (List 256). Announcements on cards of publica-— 
tions falling in the above classes are mailed to all persons on the 
list. Whenever publications named on them are desired, these cards should 
be returned promptly, as directed, to the Office of Information. 
Failure to return any such cards is an indication that the addressee 
is not interested in the subject matter of the publication and there- 
fore a copy IS NOT MAILED. It is to the interest of persons desiring 
a complete set of entomological publications of the Department to ex- 
ercise all possible care in returning these announcement cards, since 
the stocks of many publications are soon exhausted. Furthermore, the 
size of the edition is governed to a certain extent by the number of 
announcement cards returned.
