Since pear rootstocks and varieties were obvious factors in the disorder, a history of the introduction and use of the various pear varieties and rootstocks in California was neces­ sary to complete our report. Someone referred us to the California Department of Agriculture Bulletin * as a possible source for this infor­ mation. A great source it was, however, it became obvious to us that it was also a great source for many other not thoroughly indexed items of agricultural interest. We greatly enjoyed our search through the volumes of this publication for information on pears (which we found in great abundance) but could not help but think ofhow much less time we would have spent if the publication had been better indexed. We also wondered how much of the information in the Bulletin on other items was being overlooked by persons with special interests in these items. Magda Papp toök on a momentous task when she, on her own time, undertook to fulfill this indexing need. Many will be in her debt when they use her painstakingly compiled index to uncover the gems of historie and scientific fact hidden among the pages ofthe Bulletin. She is to be greatly commended. earl W. Nichols, Chief Analysis and Identification Division of Plant Industry Califomia Department of Food and Agriculture ·Variously Known as: The Monthly Bulletin ofthe StateCommission ofHorticulture; The Monthly Bulletin, Califomia State Commission of Horticulture; The Monthly Bulletin, Department of Agriculture, State of California; Bulletin, Department of Agriculture, State of Califomia; and State of Califomia Department of Agriculture Bulletin. PREFACE THE MONTHLY BULLETIN was established in the early days of 1911 as an official publication of the California State Commission of Horticulture, and its first issue came off the State Printer press in December of the same year. The title page of the first issue explained the goal of this new publication by stating that it was: Devoted to the Description, Life Habits and Methods of Control of Insects, Fungoid Diseases and Noxious Weeds and Animals, Especially Their Relations to Agriculture and Horticulture. Its first editor (and co-founder) was Edward Oliver Essig (1884-1964), the known author ofmany books and papers on economic and taxonomie entomology; a great teacher, justly called the founder of economic entomology in western North America; and a great pioneer. The California State Commissioner ofHorticulture, Albert John Cook (1842-1916) was an ardent supporter of Essig, his former student. This was quite natural, since Professor Cook was the first to teach formal courses in economic entomology in the United States. He sensed the educational impact, and the great public relations value that would result from the pages ofTHE MONTHLY BULLETIN. The first volume with its informative artieles, numerous illustrations, and 969 pages is the largest volume in the publication's 56-year history. During the following years, especially after Professor Essig parted from the editorship and Commissioner Cook died, the number ofpages per volume fluctuated a great deal. The two world wars, and the difficult times after them left its mark. Only a very few volumes are half of the size of the first one. The rapid progress of agriculture in California brought about many expansions and reorganizations of what is now known as the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Conse­ quently, the publication ofthe magazine became oflesserimportance to the new administrators, despite the fact that workers within and outside the Department expressed a great interest in its continuation. In 1935 and thereafter publication interval was reduced from monthly to usu­ ally four times a year, thus the word "monthly" was dropped from the name. The underlying concept for the publication began to strayfurther and further from the original idea " ... to keep in elose touch with the people, for whom our whole work was inaugurated ..." (Essig, Vol. 1, p. 3). The editorial work became the responsibility of adepartmental information officer, rather than someone with a scientific bent. In March 1967 THE BULLETIN was terminated in a money saving move. 6 In 1971 and 1972 Terry Clark, an enthusiastic and much respected information officer of the department tried to re-vitalize THE BULLE­ TIN, with little support. The working staff of the Department had lost their immediate publication outlet. In the 56 volumes there are 3,265 individual articles, written by 1,256 authors, who, with a few exception, were employees of the Department. A list of article titles, arranged alphabetically by authors, is found on pages 9 to 104. The next partis the Index to Common Names (pp. 105-141), followed by the same for the scientific names (pp. 143-199). These two lists contain more than 7,000 entries. There are approximately 12,000 citations in both indexes, which is a living testament as to why THE BULLETIN was one of 'the highly respected publication-series far beyond our nation's borders. It was planned to write a detailed history ofTHE BULLETIN at the end ofthis publication. However, there wa's only very sketchy informa­ tion available. Most records were discarded during the clean-up proc­ esses of several re-organizations. But this Index will speak for THE BULLETIN, and will remind the user ofthose past productive years. I have ended this Index with a list of the different Divisions of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which may help the reader to obtain other necessary information or literature. The Division of Plant Industry providesa detailed yearly list of their publications, which is free upon request. The idea of the Index was born from necessity. When in 1981 the Mediterranean fruit fly struck, frantic search began for departmental records and publications. Persons in the management, not being famil­ iar with entomology, desperately needed this information, and - THE E. O. Essig A. J. Cook. 7 BULLETIN had it! It was hidden, not readily found, but there in the pages ofTHE BULLETIN. I remember it took my husband, Dr. Charles S. Papp, then taxonomie entomologist in the Department (now retired) several days to compile the locations of those data. Many workers in the Department have spent countless hours searching for other infor­ mation. The combination of those incidences initiated the project as a sideline.The final handwritten manuscript totaled close to 2,000 pages. In this pI ace I would like to express my sincere thanks to my super­ visors, Dr. Thomas D. Eichlin and Dr. Ronald E. Somerby for their encouragement in this work. I must also thank my husband, Charlie, for suggesting and setting up the project and the method the manu­ script was prepared: in a way where it did not have to be retyped. My thanks go also to Dr. Carl W. Nichols, Chief of my unit, for his con­ tinued interest in my endeavors. My special thanks go to my daughter, Marge, owner of Sierra Graphics and Typography, and the Sierra Pacific Press here in Sacramento, who as a "labour of love" did the typesetting and paste-up (plus the decorative illustrations) for the authors index and the subject index, respectively, in order to enhance the appearance of this publication. Her contribution, I am sure, is greatly appreciated by all of uso It took nearly three years of spare-time work to compile this Index. I sincerely believe, it will be helpful for those who may use it during the course oftime to come, and am confident that they will find much ofthe information they need from the 56 volumes ofTHE BULLETIN.
