It’s Big Business
Agriculture is still the na

assets of better than $307 bil
lion. That’s equal to about
two-thirds the value of all
current U. S. corporate as
sets. And farming involves
4.6 million workers more
than the combined work force
needed to operate the nation’s
transportation, public utili
ties, steel and automobile in

The Farm Story
Placed Before You
An “American Agricul
ture” series of restaurant
place mats tells the story of
modern farming to diners
throughout the nation.
The pace mats carry a
series of questions designed
to test the diner's knowledge
of farming in the United
States. In addition, each mat
carries a modern farming
story tracing the history of
farming practices.
New Holland Division of
Sperry Rand originated the
series and produced the art
work as part of its current
program to help tell the story
of the farmers’ role in our
national economy. Another
Pennsylvania company, the
Royal Paper Company in
Coatesville, is printing and
distributing the series.

animals, they should be planned

U.S. Department of Agriculture'
publication.
The 26,-page bulletin, includ

graphs, contains information on
the selection of fencing, pre
paratory work, fenceposts,
woven wire fences, barbed wire
fences, cable fences, board
fences, electric fences, gate
ways, and fence maintenance.

always involves the risk of in
jury, the bulletin cautions fenc

boots or high shoes, and tough,
close-fitting clothing.
—Never use a tractor to
stretch woven wire or barbed
wire fencing. If the wire breaks
the recoil could cause serious
injury.
—Carry staples, nails, or
