An editor's criticism of news material ("blah") from government departments, colleges and state departments of agriculture. "Do you know what happens to a publication that prints this stuff in too liberal quantities? I'll tell you. They go broke in a year's time." Also expresses concern that this is "one of the most glaring forms of waste in the name of agriculture today."
