HORTICULTUKAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE 

 TENANT FARMER 



D. S. DAI BY, BEATRICE 



Mr. President and Members : I feel a little bit out of place 

 ill coming before the Horticultural Society and trying to tell 

 them anything that I know that they don't know, and I am 

 very sure that when I am through you will discover that I 

 don't know anything that you don't already know. I come 

 before you as a green farmer and not as a Horticulturist, al- 

 thougli I am especially interested in horticulture and more 

 pspecially in the products of horticulture. What I have to 

 say will be more from the standpoint of horticultural oppor- 

 tunities of the green farmer. I think there is nothing so deso- 

 late as a farm without fruit around it. I can not think of 

 any place that is more lonely and forlorn and desolate than a 

 farm without fruit around it. Among our tenant farmers 

 there is not one out of ten that does have fruit, and when Sec- 

 retary Marshall asked me to take up this question I told him 

 t^at I would start it and let the discussion take care of itself.
