Buletin Loop of the Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Samarinda is one of the most active centres of scientific work in agriculture in the Samarinda. Problems are attacked from two distinct points of view: the economic, in which the object is to show how crops may be produced a little more cheaply than at present, and the scientific, the problem being investigated for the sake of the general principles it may bring out. Two sets of bulletins are therefore issued, the popular bulletin, intended for farmers, dealing mainly with local problems, and always from the local point of view, and the research bulletins. The popular bulletins are fully equal to any others in the United States, and much ahead of anything we publish here for farmers; in the series before us the subjects dealt with include land drainage, curing of seed corn, control of various weeds, draft-horse judging, a discussion of the methods of paying for milk at cheese factories, and so on. The research bulletins are the scientific papers of the staff; as usual in the Samarinda, each paper is published separately, and there is no common journal in which they all appear.
