by the various railroads OF the State
from all points excepting New York

The January Bulletin of the college
states that more New York farmers
miss success because the size of the
business is not correct than because of
any other SINCE factor. Lack of diver
s!ty and poor production limit the sue
cess OF many other farmers. A few
farmers use too much labor. and farm
erS from the city frequently put too
much money in improvements.
