•LAND OF PLENTY"
The Farm Equipment Insti-
tute, a trade association com-
prising more than 200 leading
manufacturers of farm machin-
ery. has published an attractive
booklet with the apt title "Land
of Plenty.” It is based on the
most reliable data and informa-
tion available. Including that
from industrial, educational,
and governmental sources. It
tells, In brief and highly read-
able form, the long and varied
history of agriculture from an-
cient times to the present.
It is a story of famine and
the fight against famine — of
dark centuries and enlightened
ages—of the search for tools
that would lessen drudgery and
produce more and better foods
with less human and animal
labor—above all. of the trem-
endous revolution that came
about when the machine was
applied to the work of the land.
It is a fact that in 5,000 years

a few days before the recent
rainfall which was received with
such open arms In this area.
