6 THE EAGLE The science of husbandry is becoming more exacting in its demands as time goes on. The successful farmer needs to keep up with the modem machinery, transportation, refrigeration and consumer demands as they affect his pro- ducts. He must be skilled in mechanics and modern marketing trends as well as in the rais- ing of crops and animals. The latest methods of marketing require special grading and pack- ing procedures. As a result the educated man has a broad advantage over the uneducated man. The farmer of today has an easier time pro- ducing crops and caring for livestock than the farmer of former times because he has better machinery, fertilizer, insect controlling chem- icals and research to help him. With modern transportation and refrigeration systems the farmer can get his produce to market in the best of condition. This means a better price for him and better goods for the public. Schools have initiated courses of instruction in Agriculture to help train boys for this im- portant work. These schools teach care and improvement of animals and poultry, improve- ment and conservation of soil fertility and methods of raising better crops and fruit. They also teach farm management and care and re- pair of farm machinery. Wilton Academy has such a course. The instruction given in these courses does not have much value unless it is put into use: therefore all boys taking agriculture must have projects as a part of their work, thus learning to do by doing. The farmer does not have as much net in- come as the factory worker and he has to work longer hours. The factory worker does not work under as healthful conditions ns the farmer and does not have such an abundance of fresh and wholesome food. Therefore by sacrificing in money a man who becomes a farmer gains in healthful living. Wilfred Noyes '46. COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM Motto: Knowledge is Power Processional Prayer Rev. Bertram F.
