Last year the best seller was Far- mers' Bulletin No. 1136. “Baking in the Home." of which 539.385 copies were distributed. No. 1:11. “Homo Canning of Fruits and Vegetables." was recond with 414.810. and "The Boll Weovil Problem." No. 1262. was third with 303.245. There were sev- enty-seven bulletins of which 50,000 or more copies were distributed. or there. there were twenty bulletins re. lated to various phases of home eco- nomics, of which a total of 2.674.741 copies was sent out. Poultry was the next most popular subject. having twenty-five bulletins. with a total of 1,967.!23 copies. Moro than 640.000 requests for publications were received and an- swered. All told. 14.600.000 copies of Far. mers' Bulletins and 6.000.000 miscel- laneous publications not including peridoicals were distributed. Let's hope that the people who got them put them to good use. _________.._._._——— Pinchot Protects Pennsylvania (New York World) . The state collects a tax on every ton of anthracite mined.
