that there is great need for farm
ers to study their business more
closely with an eye to learning more
about what other coed and intelli-

We were very much impressed
with the truth of the remark, and we
hope to see Tue time soou come when
the great mass Of our farmers will
wake up to the fact that there is
much To learn in their profession.
L ne old way of doing things is pass

ers must make themselves intelligent
by constan application, both 10
study and experiment, if they would
keep up with the world that depends
upon them for suatenance.
