the expectation of farm products and
not agricultural products. lis there

between farm products and agricul-
tural products" Senator Caraway
asked Senator Watson. The dialogue
follows:
Mr.. Watson-There may be consid-
cradle differences between what are
usually understood as farm products
and what are usually understood as
AGRICULTURAL products.
Mr.. Caraway-Will the Senator tell
us what the difference is between a
farm product and an agricultural
product?
Mr.. watson-Lct us see. In one
section. like Kansas, or in Mis-.
souri,. for instance, the production of
mules may be the principal industry
OF farm, and. believe, in some parts
OF those States II Is; but you can not
class them with wheat and bales Of
cotton.
Mr.. Caraway-Neither could you call
mule an agricultural product, could
you?
Mr.. Watson-You might, IL you call
ed him a farm product. He IL pro-
duced on the farm. II you do not
produce him on the farm, where do
you produce him?
Mr.. Caraway--You usually produce
HON on the range in Missouri.
Mr.. Watson--What 10 a range but a
farm on a large scale?
Mr.. Caraway--No; II il outdoors.
where 1t has not been cleared.
Mr. Watson--So il farm outdoors.
i have never' seen farm inside the
house.
Mr.. Cataway--Is woodland a
farm?
Mr.. Watson--No; II IL not a farm;
but you can not raise mules in the
woods.
Mr.. Cataway-You never raised a
mule: that In certain.

and have raised horses, but / did
