There's no use talking or preaching to the contrary, mere theory isn't equal to practical experience as a e1nide to practical farm operation.

Who are we, that we should refuse hospitality to wandering knowledge because it didn't come out of our own barn-yards? There are hills beyond Pentland and streams beyond Forth There is an infinite ocean of knowl- edge outspreading around Us to the ,uttermost frontiers of unimaginable space. Why should we refuse to go through any door which affords an opening to even one corner of it3 .

Really, you see, the question is not strictly limited to the comparative value and costs O. silage and roots, but to the laExcr and wider dispute between the comparative importance of anayticaI theory and of actual practical everyday use.
 It is the old. old question whether the farmer should depend for his methods upon deductions from labor atory tests. or upon the practical re- siIits of direct experience.

It doesn't make. much difference whether you're feeding a dairy or growing a thousand acre peach orchard of raising a few hundred cab bages or planting potatoes: the more you can find out about your job the better, both for you and for the job.
