Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1908 The Yearbook issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture is the most important publication of the Department. Its scope is wide and its character general, while nearly all other publications of the Department are limited in scope and special in character. In the Yearbook the aim is to bring together and present in brief popular style the best information available on agriculture and subjects related thereto. The general plan underlying the preparation of the Yearbook con templates: (1) A general review of the work of the Department and the progress of agriculture during the preceding fiscal year, this fea ture consisting of the Annual Report of the Secretary; (2) a series of papers on carefully selected subjects prepared by competent scientists and experts employed in all the main branches of the Department; (3) an Appendix setting forth the organization of the Department, up - to-date information concerning the State experiment stations and agricultural colleges, State officials for agriculture, and all the princi pal societies and associations for the promotion of agricultural interests, a review of events and progress along several important lines em braced in the sphere of departmental activity and observation, and agricultural statistics covering a wide range. The plan outlined above was strictly adhered to in the preparation of the present volume. The report of the Secretary, occupying 186 pages, is somewhat longer than usual, owing in part to the rapid growth of the Department and the extension of its activities and in part to a brief review of progress during the past twelve years. There are twenty-three popular papers, occupying 304 pages. Some of these describe agricultural conditions and manufacturing processes involved in the working up of agricultural products; others are distinctly practical, outlining the means and methods to be employed in agricultural production; still others give first reports on Departmental investigations, which are of special interest to investi gators and scientific students.

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.

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 report touches upon the work regularly carried on by the several Bureaus, Divisions, and Offices, and also indicates the new'lines of scientific inquiry inaugurated by the Department for the benefit of producers in the several States. A brief summary precedes more extended considera tion.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1897 It is my earnest wish that the Yearbook shall be of such a popular character and of such value to practical agriculture as to justify the enormous edition issued by Congress. Every one contributing to it should be fully impressed with the fact that every page contained in the Yearbook costs the country $500, and is designed to be distributed to half a million persons. As the reputation of the Department is assuredly a matter of pride to every one of its officers and scientific workers, I feel confident of the hearty cooperation of each one of you in making this book the best book of its kind ever issued. As soon as the subjects upon which you propose to submit papers are presented to me for consideration, I shall indicate which of them will be acceptable, that the work of preparation may be undertaken as promptly as possible.
