“ It is believed that it is not too high an ideal to expect that at least one of the bulletins illustrating the investigations of the College should go into each home in the State interested in agriculture at least once a year, yet this ideal is nowhere near accomplishment, and the funds available for publication will not permit such a distribution. ”

“ The size of the editions and the number of readers in each of the series of publications of the College of Agriculture by no means indicate the interest manifested by the people of the State in these publications. It is necessary in all cases to revise and reduce the mailing list each year. In the Reading Course for Farmers, the publications are sent only to those returning the question blank that goes out with each publication. ”

“ Nature-Study.—Extension work is conducted for teachers and pupils particularly in the rural schools. One publication is issued in the interests of the work, the Home Nature Study Course, quarterly, following the State Syllabus. ”
