llie euslonier as acknowledginenl. Jiy now a inanifokling 
inacliinc is wanted as some of the copies are hardly leg¬ 
ible and more are needed lor the ditlerent departments. 
And still there is room for the system to grow. The 
cheeking and re-ehecking necessitate their own par¬ 
ticular systems to keep things going smoothly. The 
varying state laws also re(iuire a system to keep tab on 
them, also .systems in relation to selection, digging, pack¬ 
ing and handling. The main system may stop growing 
about this time, but the oflshoots will keep on spreading. 
Then' is only one thing that will prevent it and that is 
an annual or biannual [)riming to keep it down to its pur- 
l)ose—A i)rolitable help to running the business.
