I beg to differ with them and in my opinion tbe\nchief difficulty at the present time Is\nthe lack of material in the shape ot\nfarmers who have acquired a proper\nknowledge of farming and how to go\nabout lt. A lawyer, doctor or any\nother business man considers his experience when he firsts starts out for\nhimself and the same procedure,\nahould apply to the farmer.
