The United States Experiment Station Publications - a digitized collection at the University of North Texas Libraries. Between September 1889 and December 1946, the United States Department of Agriculture Office of Experiment Stations put out monthly bulletins that listed abstracts of papers from U.S. experiment stations and selected foreign publications, as well as featured issues in agriculture. These bulletins were compiled into annual or biannual volumes titled 'Experiment Station Records.' Although the bulk of the information in these bulletins consists of annotations, they give an interesting overview of what scientists were experimenting with at the turn of the last century. Currently, this collection only includes the Annual Reports of the Office for the years 1904 and 1908-1910 (under the title "Annual Report of the Office of Experiment Stations" ) and 1925-1941 (under the title "Report on the Agricultural Experiment Stations"). When the project is finished, the reports will include the publications from 1901-1954. These reports give a summary about the work and progress at each of the stations with more detail about the experiments than the record annotations provide.
