DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. 
Considerable attention is given to the dissemination of the 
results of the work of the Station. Annual Reports and Bul- 
letins are published and distributed throughout the State and 
elsewhere. The Reports contain the more technical details of 
the investigations for permanent record and for the especial 
use of those particularly interested in such matters, while the 
Bulletins are of a more popular nature and present the practi- 
cal side of the results of the work. The latter are printed in 
larger numbers than the former. During the past year a Bul- 
letin by-Prof. Phelps on the ‘‘Soy Bean as a Forage ee 
was issued. 
The Station has also an extensive correspondence, letters 
being written in answer to questions concerning the work 
which come not only from Connecticut and other parts of the 
United States, but also from foreign countries. In addition to 
this, members of the Station Staff give frequent lectures and 
addresses before institutes, conventions, and other meetings of 
farmers and dairymen.
