Extension and Experiment Station Publications
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
In 1907 the Iowa Experiment Station issued a bulletin on the Vitality, Adulteration and Impurities of Clover, Alfalfa and Timothy Seed for Sale in Iowa in 1906. In that bulletin attention was called to the impurities that were commonly found in the above seeds. It was shown that the average impurities of 130 samples was 1.93%; the average impurity of five poor samples was 10.3%; the average impurity of five good samples for 0.96%. The vitality in some cases was very low; four samples showed a vitality of 99% and over; and a considerable number below 80%. Much the same things were found to exist in the case of the white clover, alsike, alfalfa and timothy seed.
