American agriculture ia ao diversified

to Kcciiie a fairly complete exhibit of
its resources and operation must nes
CKsarily contain a large number of in

will not lie called upon to answer one
seventh of the printed questions, hence
the somcwhst formidable appearance
of the schedule should occasion no
alarm.
