Description

First Edition, Limited Edition

Four first edition volumes of this publication, which was issued annually between the 1890s and 1920s.

Present here are the yearbooks for 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912, published between 1910 and 1913.

These volumes feature articles by experts on crops, livestock, soil management, pest control, forestry, and nutrition, as well as statistical summaries and reviews of government agricultural initiatives. The Yearbooks were widely distributed to farmers, educators, and legislators, acting both as practical guides and as records of the USDA’s work. 

The 1909 volume is illustrated with thirty-six plates, the 1910 volume with a frontispiece and forty-nine plates, 1911 with a frontispiece and sixty-seven plates, and 1912 with a frontispiece and seventy plates . Including a small number of colour plates.
