TRAINED MEN
In AGRICULTURE

In accordance with the tendancy of
the times which is one of the speci-
alizatlon demanding that its successful
men shall have thoroughly mastered
some one thing and be able to do that
one thing as we'll as it can be done,
advanced agriculture is dropping
more and more into SpecialitieS.
Instead of producing little of many
things. the successful farmer is now
learning to grow a few products of
great excellence. Many are domon-
strating the fact that there is a
profitable business in raising only one
or two products, such, for example, IS
lettuce, carnations, berries, pure bred
live stock, poultry, or pure bred seed
grains. In order to do this most
successfully, however, scientific know
ledge as we'll as practical experience is
demanded; man must understand
the basis of his work, as we'll as the
best and most improved methods that
are being developed in agricultural
colleges and experiment stations.
As result of this tendency to make
agriculture more scientific, there is an
increasing demand for young men
who have had thorough training in
this field. The value of accurate
knowledge and special training in
agriculture is being appreciated as
meyer before. Capable, well equipped
young men, whether with or without
capital, are everywhere in demand in
! agricultural pursuits. AS long as
| agriculture continues to be the
greatest single vocation in the United
States. with an annual output valued
at over five billion dollars. there is an
ample field for young men thoroughly
trained.
Many are needed, after their college
course in agriculture, to go back to
their own farms and operate them
skilfully with profit to themselves and
the community about, and for the
