The title, Argriculture: the Nation's Business, may be chal-lenged. It implies that agriculture, more than all other lines of endeavour, is of particular concern to the whole nation. There are those who think this claim is presumptuous. There are those who are prone to suggest that the farmer demands privileges far beyond those enjoyed by other workers whose task is equally diffi. cult and whose product is equally valuable. The facts, however, justify the claim that the farmer's problem because of the magnitude of his business and because of the potent influence which it has on the other industries, has an importance greater than that af any other single industry.
