There is no doubt but that a man with scarcely any schooling can plant and harvest average crops by observing and Watching carefully what to do and what happens both on his farm and also on his neighbors. Yet we believe that he can do this much better, more efficiently and intelligently, if his farm experience has been topped off by an Agricultural Education. But when it comes to markets andnrnarketing probably not 5 per cent of the farmers know the influences affecting pricesg such as Labor con- ditions in this countryjg the buying ability of our customers in Europe the effect of harvests in Argentine, India, Australia and other parts of the world on our pricesg laws affecting farmers in the past, up for pas- sage at presentg the status and force of the Cooperative movement, etc. Our aim is to get these factors affecting prices and markets before the boys so they will see the complexity of the farming businessg and after' they get out of school will continue to study the conditions affecting the success of farming.
