A report of the Eighteenth Annual Meeting held in Sterling, Illinois,
February 18, 19, 20, 1913, together with other Addresses
and Reports of Institute Work for the year
ending June 30, 1913.

"When we consider how easily the agricultural production can be increased it
looks as though the food production might more than overtake the increasing
population, but when we consider the slight difficulties attending increased produc-
tion as well as realize the lethargy of so many land owners, we must conclude
that, as a people, we will be fortunate if the production merely keeps pace with
the increasing population."-Mann.
