Establish ment or shipping point Inspection In several leading . agricultural states, together with nation-wide expansion or Its market news serv ice by the use ot radio, and the es tablishment of a grain market news reporting service, have brought the . United States Department of Agrl- "t culture closer to farmers during the last year. Coordination of economic studies covering each phase ot the processes or production, marketing, and dis tribution of farm products, has made that result possible.

Also the effecting or arrangements for securing Information as to condition and production of crops In various foreign countries, an analysis of the economlo situation In the livestock Industry and the development of plans leading to the more orderly marketing of livestock and many other studies and Investigations.
