WHY The FARMER
SHOULD STUDY
JUST AS IMPERATIVE FOR HIM
TO KNOW EVERY DETAIL OF
HIS BUSINESS AS ANY OTHER
MAN WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH
SCIENTIFIC FACTS.

"The same reasons that make an
education desirable for the business
and professional man, make it equally
If not more desirable for the farmer .
said we'll known member of the A.
C. faculty today.
HE needs 1t to give him exact,
scientific knowledge of his business.
'He needs it to enable him to see
in his business more than mere labor
something that holds inspiration
through life.
He needs it because of It's value
to himself. He is much alone, and
the more liberal mis- education, the
more pleasant will be his life.
"He needs it because the business OF
farming is becoming year by year a
business calling for high skill and
training. The agricultural school can
give much of this training in less time
and at less cost than it can be learn
ed in the school of hard knocks.
"He needs an education because the
man who has it is given an advantage
In the daily battle OF life. and he
cannot afford to be handicapped by
lack Of training.
HE needs it. because OF his family

the best there Is in it, and to give to
life and to the world his fair share OF
