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
A bacterial leaf spot disease on corn (Z ea mays L.) has been under observation in Iowa since 1916. In the fall' of 1924, it was quite prevalent on Zea mays, and on volunteer sorghum (Holcus sorghum L.) growing together near Ames, Iowa. Further examination revealed the presence of a somewhat similar leaf spot on Holcus sorghum, sudan grass [H. s01'ghurn val'. sudanensis (Piper) Hitchc.]' Johnson grass (H. halepensis L.) and pearl millet [Pennisetum glancttm (L.) R.Br.]. 'fhese observations led to a cultural study of the causal agents and a survey of the literature on bacterial diseases of these hosts.
