ton of food products. This Is

Through provisions in the food pro-
duction act for development Of the ex-

geney demonstration agents had been
appointed by the end Of October, max
ing a total of approximately 5000 co
operative extension workers Near
ly 750 additional counties are coop
Grating with the department under
the food production act in employing
county agents Men county agents
total now about 1000, many district

freshing to find one staple not on the
