Chapter ii, tillage and land manage- ment, may well be dropped from the larger, projected atlaS, unless we find specifiable correlations betweer them and ethnic ity. If there be ethnically distinct tillage and management •practices--as indeed there seem to•.be--such should be isolated and specified and presented in map form. Where is fire tillage a folk technique? What of the ethnic con =

nections of the open range? Where is (was) stump removal nearly an article of religious faith? What crops owe their presence or con- tinuance to ethnic factors?

In still another manner, tillage and management offer great opportuni- ties, particularly for students of contemporary culture. Few human enterprises are better documented than North American agriculture after the county-agent system was begun. Monthly and annual reports have been prepared by two generations of count•-•ge•ts •nd ho•@ demonstra- tion agents. And one of the prin- cipal concerns of these thousands of agents has always been innovation. What more need be said?
