thing Is to develop knowledge Of the
practice of the work, and about the
only way to do so is actually to work
awhile at II. Don't be too badly
alarmed. In this day the farming busi-
nesses are crying for labor, and the

prospective farm. consider location,
soil, climate, markets and labor condi-
tons. In short, he must be prepared
to handle farm business like any 9TH

Of the latter. he need not be afraid to
venture into farming proposition, for

natives how to farm, for without good
business management behind II he will
find farming about the hardest work
