Notes:
Agricultural Publishers Association Records, Series No. 8/3/80, Box 12, Page 2 in Bulletin No. 9., APA executive secretary reports on a recent news item about a newspaper that issued its first annual farm edition in tabloid form, 24 pages. The announcement goes on to say, "The section was handled by the regular staff in about ten days along with other duties." Author recalls the story about the farmer who exhibited an ostrich egg to his hens and told them that, while he wasn't scolding them for their efforts, they might take this as an example and try to do better.
