Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture In presenting the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture for 1896 to farmers and others interested in the subject of agriculture, it is hoped that it may, in a measure at least, fulfill whatever expecta tions have been aroused by the two preceding volumes. When the Annual Report of the United States Department of Agriculture first appeared in this form, the hepe was expressed that future numbers of the book would still more fully justify the new departure. It is therefore hoped that no backward step is evidenced in the present volume and that the work may indicate a steady growth toward the ideal which has been continually in mind, but which is as yet so far short of attainment.

This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1918 It would require a volume even to outline all the things which the Department of Agriculture has done. It stimu lated production, increasingly controlled plant and animal diseases, reducing losses from the cattle tick, hog cholera, tuberculosis, predatory animals, and crop pests, and, in con junction with the Department of Labor, rendered assistance to the farmers in securing labor. It safeguarded seed stocks and secured and distributed good seeds to farmers for cash at cost; acted jointly with the Treasury Department in mak ing loans from the President's special fund to distressed farmers in drouth-stricken sections; aided in transporting stock from the drouth areas; greatly assisted in the market ing of farm products, and, under enormous difficulties, helped the farmers to secure a larger supply of fertilizers. At the direction of the President, it is administering under license the control of the stockyards and of the ammonia, fertilizer, and farm-equipment industries.

This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 1132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1902 The Yearbook for 1902 is slightly more bulky than its predecessors. It is satisfactory to note, however, that this result is due not to an increase in the length of the articles contributed but to continued expansion in the Department work - the multiplication of the branches of work which should be represented in the pages of the Yearbook. As a matter of fact, the 37 articles which form the bulk of the volume will average fewer pages than those in any former Yearbook. These take up 534 pages, being an average of a little over 14: pages to an article. The corresponding portion of the Yearbook for 1901 aggre gated 492 pages, containing 33 articles, averaging 15 pages; while the corresponding figures for the Yearbooks for 1900 and 1899 were, respectively, 552 pages, 31 articles, averaging nearly 18 pages, and 593 pages, 26 articles, averaging nearly 23 pages. It has been impossible in the general effort at reduction to apply it equally to the first part of the Yearbook, which, in compliance with the law requiring the inclusion in each Yearbook of a general report of the operations of the Department, consists of the Secretary's Annual Report. This record unavoidably expands in some proportion to the continued growth of the Department and the extension of its work along numerous new lines. The number of plates (87) is the same as in 1900 and slightly less than in 1901, though in view of the increase in the number of articles the reduction is proportionately greater than the actual number shows. In accordance with the general policy Of reduction, the illustrations have been carefully restricted to such as are deemed necessary to increase the usefulness of the work and to assist the reader to a full and satisfactory understanding of the text.

This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 978 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1903 The tendency of the Yearbook to increase in size, following very naturally the growth of the Department whose work it deals with, led to the production for several years of a book of inconvenient dimeh sions, and threatened, unless a different system were pursued in its preparation, very soon to make a most unwieldy volume. An earnest effort had to be made, and a change was therefore inaugurated in the preparation of the present volume, with a view to reducing its bulk. The result has been to reduce it by about 5200 pages; while the tendency to conservatism in the matter of illustrations, which for the past year or two has characterized all the publication work of the Department, has caused a reduction in the number of plates from 87 in the Year book for 1902 to 65 in the present volume. It has been impossible, of course, to effect such a marked reduction without in some measure restricting the number of articles contributed. The number in this volume, while still considerably above the average since the Yearbook was established, is 32, as against 37 last year and 33 in the Yearbook for 1901. The authors are, however, to be con gratulated upon having more nearly than ever before approached the standard of brevity which it has been sought to establish in connection with Yearbook articles, and the average length is but a fraction over 12 pages. Readers who have been in the habit of consulting the Appendix will find there also evidence of this restrictive policy in the elimination of some features to which they have become accustomed. It is believed, however, that the most important information presented in this part of the Yearbook for permanent preservation has been retained. At a risk of repetition, it must be again stated for the information of those who desire to possess a copy of the work, that the quota assigned to the Department's use is barely su cient to supply its own active coworkers, and the great majority of people desiring to secure a copy must, therefore, depend upon their Senators, Representatives.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1911 Aside from the Report of the Secretary, the Yearbook of the Depart ment of Agriculture for 1911 comprises (1) 31 articles, contributed by the various branches of the Department and averaging 13 pages; (2) a statistical Appendix of 194 pages; and (3) an Index of 32 pages the volume aggregating 730 pages. The articles are illustrated by 20 text figures and 67 full-page illustrations, of which 9 are colored. Although 10 pages in excess of the Yearbook for 1910, this volume is in reality smaller and weighs less, because in most instances the full-page illustrations are printed on both sides of the sheet. This feature is an innovation introduced with a view to economy, and it is believed that the illustrations are as satisfactory as when printed in the old way. The articles included in the Yearbook have not been published elsewhere. This explanation is given for the reason that there 18 an impression that the volume is a compilation of bulletins and circulars issued during the year. Such, however, has never been the case, as it has always been the policy of the Secretary to use as Yearbook articles only absolutely new matter having a permanent value, giving preference to accounts of work undertaken and results achieved. The articles are usually reprinted in separate form after the Yearbook is issued. This gives them a wider distribution and enables the Depart ment to give applicants the specific information they desire, when it is impossible to supply the entire volume. As a matter of fact, the department's allotment of the Yearbook is distributed principally to its voluntary correspondents, in consequence of which it is necessary to refer miscellaneous applicants to Members of Congress, to whom copies are by law allotted. The edition of the Yearbook authorized by law is so that in the 18 years during which it has been issued copies have been printed and distributed, principally to farmers in every section of the country. The frontispiece to this volume is a portrait of the late Dr. S. A. Knapp, who died during the year, and whose distinguished services in behalf of the people justify this tribute to his memory. A brief article describing the work of Dr. Knapp is contributed by the Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry.

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 1054 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1905 In view of the recent somewhat active discussion with regard to Government publications more especially annual reports, and in view of the fact that, under the law providing for its issue, the Yearbook is designated as Part II of the Annual Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, it may be of interest to indicate the circumstances which have given to the Yearbook its present special character. The publication of the Yearbook is called for by an act providing for the public printing and binding, and the distribution of public documents, approved January 12, 1895, which is quoted on the opposite page. This act was the result of a careful and protracted investigation by the Joint Committee on Printing of the Senate and the House of Representatives concerning the character of public documents and the manner of distributing them. Of the publications issued under the law then existing, the Annual Report of the Department of Agri culture was necessarily the 'object of special consideration, owing to the very large edition, copies. It was recognized that in its old form the Annual Report of the Department contained a large amount of administrative detail of interest to comparatively few read ers outside of Congress, and consequently quite superfluous in a volume intended for widespread popular distribution. Besides these administrative details, the Annual Report was made the vehicle for a considerable amount of scientific matter. This matter was of interest chiefly to specialists in some one but rarely in all of the lines of scientific work pursued in the Department. Moreover, the growth of the Department and the creation of new 0 ices threatened to increase greatly the bulk of the volume. It was, therefore, wisely determined to divide the Annual Report of the Department into two parts, sepa rately bound. The first part, known as the Annual Reports of the Department of Agriculture, and issued in an edition of 00pies, contains, first, the personal report of the Secretary of Agriculture, addressed to the Presi dent, and, second, a detailed report from each division chief addressed to the Secretary.
