the past many years  and in the most  recent years its importance  has increased very greatly,  and

iffiEREAS:  In the effort to put  agriculture  on a more productive  and more  efficient  basis, power
farm  equipment  intelligently  used is a prime  factor in  economical production  and in  increasing
the efficiency of the  operator,

m

WHEREAS:  The successful  use  of power farm  equipment  demands  high intelligence  and  thorough
