COMPACT SCALE AMONG GROUPS.
The principal effect Of Compact Scale ia ,hr

which closely resemble each other in the animal,

Scale. or Scale OF closely compared varieties must
be extended to all occupations in Agriculture,

it will result from Passion-thst of rivalry
which produces tor the most part. at present,
nothing hut evil effects.
Groups must operate upon varieties. and not
upon species Instead of culti,ating in the first
Association great many different species of fruits
and vegetables, it will be necessary to cultivate as
many varieties as possible Of few species.
1t is necessary in all Series Of Groups whatever
may be- their occupations, to form scale OF
functisns, resembling each other in shades or va

Scale Of closely compared Varieties 1t will he

among the member OF each Group
Without tho system of Groups and Series, Assoc

Society. can be understood at once, and when
they find that they cannot comprehend 1t so easily
they then giyo presuinpiious opinion upon 1t,
stribuiing to 1t principles and effects which have
their source in their own ignorance and preludices.
