A rrnnt i r f e This book has been prepared under the 



srmuur s ^ auspices of Armour's Farm Service Bureau, 



farm Service which has been organized to study the whole 

 Bureau Armour system of industries in their relation 



to farm production, to serve as a middle- 

 ground of information and co-operation between the several Armour 

 industries and the farmer and to make researches into problems of 

 farm production. 



It is our hope that this bureau will fulfill a useful mission in 

 establishing a closer understanding and co-operation between the 

 producer and the packer in particular; but also, in a broader sense, 

 between the farmer and the business man, and between business 

 and our educational institutions.
