How many of you realize the extent to which teamwork isrequired to produce these reports ? Our Agricultural De-velopment Department could not put them out without the helpof many agents, general agents, agricultural department fieldmen as well as SP&S people in their territory. Altogetherabout 120 men cooperate in gathering information. The greatmajority of these reporting agents take pride in turning inaccurate and informative reports.
