Summary

COI synopsis: A few unusual approaches to stepping up efficiency in agriculture. With machinery available at present, only dry seeds can be mechanically sown. Now, a totally new approach to the problem has made it possible to put thousands of delicate, already-growing seedlings into a cylinder, and pump them out under pressure into the ground.
