ceeded by beginning in a small way with poultry or fruit. The knowledge gained in this way, both as regards the details of farming and concerning methods of marketing, finally enables the beginner to abandon his city em- ployment and become a farmer.
 "A few men have succeeded with out this gradual transition. They have moved boldly to the country, put their capital into land, and by hard work, much study and exceedingly frugal living for few years until the business has been learned and a profit assured, have been highly successful. Such changes are usually accompanied, for few years, by the severest kind of hardship; but if a man is intelli- gent, close observer and not afraid of work, it is possible to succeed un- der such conditions.
 An interesting case of this kind came to notice recently. At the Iowa state corn show in 1909 the ear of corn which took the grand prize, and which was sold at auction for $160, was produced by farmer who ten years previously had been a driver of laundry wagon in the city of Des Moines. It must be recognized how ever, that men who have thus sue ceeded have invariably been men of unusual ability"
