The Frustrated Phoenix Matter (AFRTS)

Well, you're listening enjoyment, John Lund has... ...Johnny Deller. Unless the brilliant conversation will be. Is that the novelist who made such a big splash about 20 years ago? Up on yesterday. So unusual about that.

The good idea to brush up on my reading is that. Here to ask you as much do you know about your United States government? For example, do you know what the work of the Department of Agriculture and Tales They recommend that the Department of Agriculture be called the Department of General Scientific Progress,

because employees of this branch of our government have been responsible for the improvement of our shoe leather, our mattress stuffing, and the rubber tires which we put on our automobile. But these improvements are somewhat of a sideline, since the main duty of the Department is to assist the farmers of America.

Now, back in the days when it was just getting organized and explaining to Congress why it needed more money, the Department of Agriculture acted only as a sort of clearing house for information which farmers picked up and passed on about better ways to grow corn.

Then the farmers began asking questions about getting rid of blight and parasites and other such farming problems and the department had to come up with the right answers. That's when the Department began to expand and take a direct part in improving as an example of its, say, item of egg production.

In the past 50 years, the production of eggs has been increased over 300 percent, as a result of the expert advice on the feeding and grazing of poultry developed by workers in the Department of Agriculture.
