A blue-toned English page headed 'Agriculture' lists four gains (meat, crop yields, fish catches, individual incomes) beside photographs of baskets of fish, harvesters in a maize field and a worker spraying a potato field. The claims are general and give no figures, dates or sources. The tell is a list of unquantified improvements illustrated by selected working scenes.
