 may be hoped that the data once ascertained, and facts correctly recorded, good 

 results will soon follow, from the dissemination of sound practical knowledge." 

 — John Cuetis, in Introduction to 'Farm Insects.' 



" Those candidates who had been engaged in the practical work of the farm 

 were free from the hesitation and uncertainty which some of the more theoretical 

 students displayed." — Observation in licport of Examiner in Agriculture of the
