SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE 



July. 1922 



In the .speaker's opinion, each College 

 iwould do well to review and perhaps re- 

 construct its experimental and production 

 work as against the obligation to demonsrate 

 practical efficiency on a cost vs. revenue 

 ^asis. How to make money out of steers or 

 pigs or poultry or dairy cattle or potatoes 

 or onions or fruits is the finest experiment 

 that can be attempted and there is nothing 

 that will place a teacher of technical agri- 

 culture in such vital contact with the diffi- 

 culties of the farmer or in a better position 

 to appreciate, study and represent the prob- 

 lems of marketing. Then, if he is given the 

 opportunity to make and maintain a per- 

 sonal connection with the producer, on the 

 one hand, and to keep posted as to market- 

 ing methods and market requirements on the 

 other, he is in a position to assemble a body 



of information out of which will come con- 

 victions arid confidence such as will make 

 him a real leader in directing the training 

 of his students in commercial agriculture. 

 That lie should also be a close associate of 

 Provincial Departments in developing poli- 

 cies of production and with the Federal De- 

 partment in organizing policies of market- 

 ing is also of paramount importance. 



La.st year, in tlie Committee's report, at- 

 tention was directed to Marketing courses. 

 This year special recognition is given to the 

 men who are to give these courses. How their 

 position may be improved either by consi- 

 deration of the matter within each College, 

 by joint discussion amongst themselves or in 

 association with Provincial and Federal of- 

 ficers within each Province may well be con- 

 sidered bv this Convention.
