Does II Pay?

Does special training in agriculture,
pay? Two instances will answer the
question. Two brothers of Lees Sum-
nit, Missouri, who attended the Short
Course at the University Of Missouri
College Of Agriculture In l9l0-ll,
went home and began breeding pure
bred Poland China hogs. At their
first annual sale the average price
which they received was the fourth
highest in Poland-China sales In the
whole United States. In l9i5-l6 they
received the highest average price
brought by Poland-Chinas In Missou-
ri.
Fifteen years ago a Missouri boy
went home from the Short Course and
rented three acres of neglected or.
chard from his father. He pruned
and sprayed the trees according TO the
methods he had learned. and worked
for neighbors when he was not needed
at home. A few years later he bought
40 acres Of land and planted 15 acres
in orchard. His trees have borne five
crops which have given him q net
profit Of $467 an acre after deducting
fair wages for himself, his teams and
other operating expenses. He now
owns a l20-acre farm valued at near
ly 100000. This year he Is planting
30 acres more orchard.
Again, does an education pay?
