184 THE BUSINESS OF FAEMING 



It is waste of time, energy and money, to work 

 for better markets safeguarded from dishonest 

 dealers, until we first standardize farm produce, 

 for when we accomplish standardization we have 

 more than half won the fight for the best safe- 

 guarded markets. When the farmer begins to 

 standardize his products he becomes the true and 

 honest tiller of the soil, for he soon learns that 

 he can not successfully standardize his produce, 

 unless he installs upon his farm the methods of 

 fertilization, tillage, protection from insect pest 

 and the like, by which standardization is brought 

 to its highest perfection. So standardization 

 means greater farm efficiency, more scientific 

 farming, and the greater uplift of the business.
