Farming outruns Dictionary

A great many terms in common use
in agricultural discussions have never
found a place in the dictionaries. So
widely used and important a term as
"vitamin" has not yet found its way
into the principal unabridged dic.ioa.
aries. For the public, therefore,
there exists no approved spelling. no
approved pronunciation. and no ap-
proved definition of the name Of
thing that is vital to all living things
There are scores of terms. ind!s.
pensable in agricultural writing "
speaking, that have not been recog.
nized by the photographers, and
there are quite as many new usages

Nobody knows whether il is one
word, two words. or hyphenatei

to express the thing that is practi-
eally the determining factor Of profits

known to the dictionaries stan

Der of other commonly used terms
understood we'll enough by agricul-
turists, remain underlined for the ac-
curate Information of the general
public.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture, through the Joint efforts
or the Bureau of Animal Industry
ana the Division Of Publications has
begun a movement to standardize the
use Of such terms, and about 80 q
them are on the griddle now. Three
points of view are taken-that Of the
neid man who knows the eomm11
usage of the laymen, that Of the
scientist who has the view point If
the specialist, and the point Of view
that looks merely to the use Of COOL
English. Each word is submitted 70
the various classes OF persons inter,
ested, together with the proposed
usage and the authority or lack o.
authority for il. From the sugges-
tlons received in reply, the finally ap.
proved usage will be determined.
The first agricultural term 10 sa
acted upon in the manner described
was corn belt" That was consid-
efed more appropriate, than corn-beh
