FARMING BOUND TO SUCCEED
lM SPITE OF ALL OBSTACLES

DC not take a visionary optmst to see better conditions ahead
of the farmer in the comparatively near future, but it is of a later
date that we are thinking just now. Agriculture will have It's tenn
porary ups and downs as long as human systems operate, but there are
certain handwritngs on the wall that have very significant meanings
1t has been well said that an old dog IS slow in learning new tricks.
The farmers who have learned their game under pioneer conditions are
likewise slow to take on some of the more modern and so-caled up-to-
date methods of production and marketing. But there is another large
ment. This class is made up of the thousands of boys and girls and
young men and young women who are being touched by the many in
fluences that are at work learning and demonstrating better methods in
both production and marketing. He is a blind man indeed who cannot
see already the remarkable results Of lessons learned through expert
ment and put into practice by those bent upon improving the quality
of their farming. Many are the farms operated IN whole or IN part by
young men and women who have caught the new vision and have learn
ed some of the new lessons. The number will within a decade increase
many fold and within a generation those fortunate enough to be boys
and girls in this wonderful day of practical knowledge will dominate
the agriculture of America.
So much for the new production. What of the business end of the
farm?
The sun has not long been set on the day when production was.
about all there was to farming. But again the better way is taking
its place. Distribution is almost as important as production, and the
new farmer is already beginning to learn and to demonstrate improved
methods of selling his goods. Again, he is indeed a blind mar who
cannot see improvement in the general business administration of the
both in their operation and in the marketing of their products
the fruits of todays efforts at better farm management and better
marketing are not yet ready for harvest. Ten years, twenty,
thirty wears hence the boys and girls and young men and young women
of today will reap the benefits of the pioneering that is being done on
frontiers today. The half successes in farm management and
marketing of now are the forerunners of the full successes of a
generation from this time.
What of tomorrows agriculture? Farming is destined to succeed
n spite of the obstacles that beset its way. Successful agriculture IS a
fundamental essential to national progress and the signs were never
better for ultimate rural victory. 1t is we'll that we endeavor to bring
next season over the season just closed. 1t is well that we
our best efforts that a fair prosperity shall crown the efforts of
he thrifty farm family in the year of 1924. But whatever may be the
fortunes or the misfortunes of next year Or the next, he IS a pess1mBt
indeed who cannot see a wonderful rural life in the United States when
oday's farm BOYS and girls are rearing their own boys and girls under
he conditions that will then prevail. {.
