ESTABROOK, Chief Wastaington, D. C. Januar]', 1921 .^/, WA8HINQTON : QOVEflNMENT PRINTING OFFICE : 1921 FOREWORD. The Bureau of Crop Estimates (Bureau of Statistics) has Collected and compiled data relating to agriculture since its organization as a statistical division in the Patent Office in 1840, and has published such data in various forms since its transfer to the Department of Agriculture in 1862. Much of this material is of permanent value, but is not readily available to the public because the current publica- tions of the bureau are not indexed and many of the earlier publica- tions are out of print and can be found only in reference libraries. In order that the public, especially research workers, statisticians, economists, students, and business men, may know what statistical material is available in the publications of the bureau, a complete list of " Publications of the Bureau of- Crop Estimates " is presented herein, with serial number, title, author's name, aild year published. (See Part I.) For convenience of reference there is also presented a list of " Sub- jects Included in the Reports and Records of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, 1863-1920," arranged alphabetically by subjects, show- ing the kinds of information available for each subject, dates avail- able, and page references to the Monthly Crop i^eporter in which published, or number of office record of unpublished material. (See Part II.) It is believed that the employees of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, research workers in other bureaus of the Federal Government, and in State agricultural colleges and experiment stations, as well as many private persons interested in the statistics of agriculture, will find these lists convehient and helpful in their work.
