It can be very challenging to locate information about individual ISU Extension publications via the library website. Quick Search will list the name of the series, but it will not list individual publications within each series. The Parks Library Reference Collection has a List of Current Series, Serial Publications (Series Publications of Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service), published as of March 2004. It lists each publication from 1888-2004 (by title and publication number - and in some cases it will show an author name).

Abstract
Soybeans have been under continuous observation and test at the Iowa station since 1910. As the value of soybeans for Iowa farmers became apparent, more attention was given to the crop until the investigational work has become quite comprehensive.
Interest in the crop was not evident thruout the state until about 1916, but has since been keen, and the acreage in many counties has increased remarkably. While the soybean acreage in Iowa is not large as compared with some of the other Iowa crops, the fact that it has more than doubled annually thru a series of years is significant.
