Over 31.000.000 bulletins. circulars. surveys. reports. and other agricultural publications. embracing 1.200 separate titles. were distributed this year by our Federal Government alone. If to these are added the publications sent out by State agricultural departments and the many excellent farm magazines. a conception can be gained of the vast mass of agricultural information to which the American farmer has access. The value of this immense educational machinery can not be overestimated. but unfortunately immigrant farmers can not derive the full benefit from it. Government work is designed essentially fot farmers already grounded in the rudiments of agriculture. It assumes an elementary knowledge of farm practices and builds upon that.
