Bat the .act remain that this side of the world's greatest iadas try is almost entirely nagloetod by both tb farmer and tone schools. Professor Bailsy saya en thia subject: Ia visit ing practically every farm ia aa of tba count lea of tbe -auto (Now York) we did aot find one mast who knew kow much it soot bint to proems milk or to raise any of his crops.' "Tb secretary of agriculture, in re cent Year books, sointa out the remark able prosperity oi the farmer; that the export of farm products Is vastly in excess of all other exports combiaed that a. million agricultural debtors have been transformed daring tb last tea years iato the same number ox tur plus depositors; that 'contrary to his reputation, tbo farmer is a great er gaaiser, aad ho has achieved remarks bio and enormous success ss in many linos of economic co-operation ia which the people of other occupations have either mad no beginning at all or have nearly if aot completely sailed.' He points sot that most farmers live bet tor than tba average aserenaat or sso- fihnnic The bonnes of farming assumes two distinct phases: the productive phase aad the exchange phase. The oa alma to extract tbe treasures from tbs soil; the other to place them ia tbe hand of tbs sonsumer. It is im portant aot oaly to mis abundant or ops, but also to sell ta pxodnsts to advaatago. "The importance off tha exchange phase is often lost sight of. A farm may be forced to yield to its asaximum capacity, labor may be managed prop erly ana wast reduced to a miaunu and yet tbe net result may bo a loss at tbe end of the year. . As a goaeral economic proposition, it might bs said that large crops often result in serious loss to society as s whole. If tbs act value to tbs consumer m less than the-i labor aad capital expended on the crop, society is the loser by tbs difference. riene the importance of a thorough underotandiag by tb famper as well aaby th merchant and manufacturer of thef laws and methods of eawhaag or commerce, "That "farming is a serenes has been emphasised ss much that tba faet tbat it ia also a business is often mat sight oi. n im m rent ousineeB) ana one wnien pays the United States sloe toeight billion- dollars aaaonlly. - It has boob, aemoBsirasea repenseaiy snat no legit imate business pays bettor than farm ing.

' Modern business methods sad harp competition have changed these notions sntil today it is necessary to know tbs coot of production la ad- vanes to tbo smallest detail.
