In the March notes we referred to the Victory edition of the War Gardening pamphlet and since then we have for distribution a few copies of the Spring Manual of the United States School Garden Army. The advantage of the latter over the former is that it does not take for granted quite so much knowledge on the part of the gardener and goes into detail concerning several different vegetables, allowing a page for each, with a general statement, planting advice and cultural advice. On the other hand, it has not so many entries as the pamphlet on War Gardening, so that one does well to obtain both if he is an amateur. The Spring Manual School Garden Army pamphlet is obtained by writing to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C. Mineral Footnotes, January-February, 1919, is a pamphlet of interest to those who are specializing in the mineral industry. The copy we happen to have gives approved statistical statements regarding such out-of-the-way minerals as cerium, palladium, selenium and several others. It is kept in our laboratory. The National Industrial Conference Board announces a prize essay contest in economics with a $1,000 prize for the best monograph on any one of eight different subjects. They pertain to employment, wages, unions, etc., and we have a copy of the announcement in our library. The Agricultural Index, covering Volumes 1-3, is a valuable contribution to the ways and means of getting at knowledge, and in keeping with the work that the H. W. Wilson Company maintains. The list of periodicals and bulletins indexed is impressive, so also the list of extension publications and the checked list of occasional literature for 1918. The main part of the book has the sub-title, "A Cumulated Subject Index to Agriculture Literature, including a selected list of periodicals, bulletins, reports and pamphlets 1916-1918." It is to be noted that "in the case of those added since 1916, the indexing has been carried back to cover the period. In some instances the indexing has been carried back to the beginning of the magazine, as in the case of the Journal of Agricultural Research and the American Journal of Botany. The United States Department of Agriculture Department Bulletins are also indexed from the beginning of the series." As to fullness of entry, figuring 100 entries to the page, there are approximately 100 relating to onions, 250 to home vegetable gardening, 300 each to bibliography and potash, 1,000 to potatoes and 3,000 to poultry. |
