There was considerable delay in au-
thorizinG the Farms for Sale" book,
to be issued by the commissioner of ag-
riculture according to No. Is of the
Acts of 1919. the board believing that
such publication should not parallel or
duplicate the farm publications issued
by the publicity department of the Office
of the secretary Of State This will
probably delay the publication of the
book a little beyond August l. the time
fixed by the Legislature for the pub
lication of this book.
