D. Scud dor, professor of farm management at O. A. C. It Is tho (arm owner who builds up his farm and his com munity nd gives stability to agrlcul turo and to thoi nation." The young man going Into, farm ing usually has to servo a period of apprenticeship as renter beforo ho Is able to own his own farm, Professor Scudder points out. Ho directs at tention to tho fact that this period Is vory much shortened by good edu cation. ' How this works Ih shown In a farm survey In Missouri. Of 218 part owners those with common school education only had rented (or olght years, those with high school educa tion (Ivo .years, nnd thoso with col lego education 2.8 years. "One' of tho chief values of educa tion Is tho more rapid progress mado by the trained man when ho steps In to his chosen Industry," says Profes sor 8cudder. "It appears from the survey that the young man with high school training expends! only a lit tle more than half as much time In tenancy aa the man with tho com mon school education. The man with the college training succeeds to farm ownership In almost halt the time of the high school man." 23 Counties,' Had Graduate The 264 graduates In tho '20 class at O. A.
