are proving of much interest not only
in the United States but in many fore

which picturize wide range of agri-
cultural activities, are being received
from many quarters, and the number
of sales is increasing rapidly under an
arrangement by which the purchaser
pays the contract charge of COM

Among the buyers is the Interna-
tional Committee Of Y. M. Ca, which
recently purchased 200 reels on var
ious subjects for use in Russio, Czech
oslovakia, Roumania, Greece and 9TH
cr European countries. The Argen-
tine Government and the Buenos Aires
and Pacific Railway have also shown
their estimation for American agri.
cultural methods as applied to Argen-
tenia. The Government of the Argen,
tine recently purchased several copies
of "Embryology of the Egg" and five
copies Of "Making the South Tick

other previous purchases, recently
