"Beginning with 1930 issue, the Yearbook ... is designated by the year in which it is printed rather than by the year surveyed." -1930, p. iv.
No Yearbook published with date 1929. cf. 1930, p. iv.
The 1936 Yearbook, instead of containing brief summaries of miscellaneous new developments in agriculture, as in 1926-1935, is devoted mainly to plant and animal genetics, the subtitle of the main section being "Better plants and animals". For each of the major crop and live stock groups the book presents a genetic history and discussion of genetic problems. In 1937 it will deal similarly with fruits, vegetables, flowers, and miscellaneous organisms of agricultural importance. Most of the statistical tables formerly published in the Yearbook now appear in a separate volume, Agricultural statistics, 1936 (1Ag84Y 1936A) q.V. cf. Foreword, Yearbook 1936.
