I've should like to get IN touch with

as we like to help YOU as mucn as
possible. There are always many local
problems in any locality which require
a great deal of thought and time pc
fore they can be worked out satlSIac-

problems cannot be worked out. with
any degree Of satisfaction from

they must be worked out IN Lhe 10
calities- One OF the things tnaE mas
occurred to me regarding the aSrlcul-
tural development of the state is that
it is time that a good deal Of thought
and time should be given TO the matter
of starting out properly In WnaleNeI
line Of agriculture the district may
develop. Study the local conditions
and see for what particular crops
that district is best suited There IS
a good deal of time. money and energy
wasted 7 find. in some Of our older
agricultural districts, in that great
many individuals have attempted to DO
things in an incorrect manner. IhlS
has been especially true In the planting
of orchards as some varieties have
been selected which are absolutely
worthless. Orchards which have been
planted for five or ten years are now
Of no value whatever. because they
did not give the manner of selection
Of the varieties OF the different fruits
planted sufficient consideration. This
is one of she things that we are trying
to emphasize in every agricultural dis-
