First published: 1967
Description: Presents the story of the rise of the Agricultural Research Service and its dual functionality as a research and a regulatory organization. Thousands of everyday items--drip-dry cottons, frozen orange juice, aerosol dispensers for hair spray and shaving cream--are byproducts of its research. The ARS also intercepts a diseased plant or animal at the U.S. border about once every six minutes.
