the improvement of the village, which is to form the
basis for a total reorganization of the conduct of farm-
ing operations, in collaboration with all governmental,
professional, industrial, communications and other organ-
izations concerned. The amount needed for investment
for the improvement of the village, that is, from the
agricultural standpoint, the erection of dwellings for
farm hands, shifting of population and villages, and
general improvements, are estimated at from 60 to 75
billion.
