Book excerpt: Excerpt from Numerical List of Current Publications of the United States Department of Agriculture: Compiled by Comparison With the Originals Since its creation on May 15, 1862, the Department of Agriculture has issued many different series of pub lications. To identify the individual publications a series and number was assigned to each. As a result of this practice there are many series of bulletins, circulars, and leaflets that bear identical numbers. For example, under the head of number 1 may be found 119 distinct publications. One assigned to handle an enormous amount of correspondence requesting information that is supplied by the selection of appropriate publications can readily appreciate the difficulty that arises in identifying the material desired when only a number is given, or when the number and an incorrect reference to its title, or other scanty information, are supplied. It is because of this fact that this list has been compiled. Under each number will be found the series (on left margin), title, author, issuing bureau, and date of issuance of each current publication of the Department of Agriculture that bears a numerical designation. Ordinarily this information is sufficient to enable one to make a positive identification of a publication. This publication is intended for use strictly as a working list for institutions and persons engaged in informational service, such as libraries, editorial oflices, information specialists, and correspondence clerks handling requests for material relating to agricultural subjects. It is not to be regarded as a complete list of the publications of this Department that are available for distribution and it is not intended for general distribution.
