THE GLEAN ER 21 the new man forging to the head with his herds and noticed his increased production by the application of modern methods. The results were brought to his notice. However, the farmer was not entirely convinced. He had to admit the things he saw but he considered the proof as insufficient. Where the farmer lacked convic- tion the trained man set about to give further proof of his ability. The farm of half a century ago was the center of producing the needs of the family. The exchanges with the outside were reduced to the necessities not pro- duced on the farm. The growth of our urban population made it imperative to bring about a change. The area of production was further removed and the needs of the city demanded a greater exchange with the producer. The farmer did not grasp the meaning of his position as the new demands were met. Gradually the middleman became the medium through which the trade passed. His first thought was his own interestsg The producer re- ceived the minimum for his efforts. The educated agriculturist, alive to the possibili- ties of introducing business methods to the farm, sought to change affairs. In a modest way he tried the boon of other business ventures-co-operation. His foresight is shown today in the co-operaive interests controlled by the farmer, and which guarantee the producer a just return for his labor. Further proof of the ability of the educated man lie in the organizations which provide in- struction and better social conditions for the farm folk. The easy going, prejudiced farmer is fast becoming the exception. Agriculture is not behind other vocations in requiring a man to be awake to his surroundings. The man who is unable to average up lags behind. The trained man is receiving his due. Not every college man succeeds but the value of a man with enough common-sense to apply his knowledge cannot be under- estimated. T And now to sum up our own chances of success. The last few months gave us oportunity to test the fu- ture. All of us have corresponded with farmers and have found them to be educated and aware of the value of trained men. Last, but not least, they have entertained no doubt as to our ability to fill the positions offered. The graduates of today can feel thankful for the good- will of.the farmer, thankful also for the determination of
