Taylor has been able to secure ten complete u sets of every agricul ture yearbook published by the De partment of Agriculture since 1894 and today announced plans to make one set each of these valu able books available to each of the nine counties in the Third District of South Carolina. Congressman Taylor was able to secure these books through the Joint Commit tee on Printing and they have al ready been received in his Ander son office and will be distributed soon. In placing one set each of all these books in each county in the Third District, Congressman Tay lor has already written to the County Agents and the vocational agriculture teachers of these coun ties asking them to get together and decide just where, they would prefer to have these books located. Just as soon as they decide where they are to be placed, they will be mailed from the Anderson office of the Third District representative. Congresman Taylor feels that the counties of the Third District are going to be fortunate in having as a matter of reference every agri culture yearbook ever published. In addition to these complete sets of yearbooks, Congressman Taylor has also secured through the Committee on Printing a number of other valuable documents which would have probably gone to the scrap heap had he not made re quest for them. In this group of publications in his office here which he plans to make available to persons interested in them are: Hampton Statute Proceedings, Dis eases of the Horse, 1930 Hearings on Prohibition, Weather Bureau Reports, Bound Congressional Records. Congressman Taylor has also at his disposal a large number of Farm Bulletins and can make them available to any resident of his District in any reasonable quantity upon written or personal request through his office here.
