ficulties they had to encounter:
Thousands and thousands of dollars
are annually lost in Minnesota to the
masses, by not being familiar with the
practical methods OF the most success
full farmers. The actual experiences
of the successful farmers make splen-
did ''guide boards" TO all others,
when needed. All methods that have
proven failures should be- set IND as
"danger Signals" to prevent others
from falling into the same errors. The
practical experiences of just one indi:
vidual when known may be of ines
Unable value to the whole country;
while the glowing theories of Another
not practically demonstrated may be
the means of great damage.
