92 Agriculture and Its Needs 



Mr. Pearson to the headship of the agricul- 

 tural activities of the State is altogether 

 timely and encouraging. I am anxious that 

 the forces which he and I represent shall 

 work in rational co-operation, and that each 

 shall bring out the best there is in learning 

 and in labor. A new system of agriculture 

 and a new system of education will have to 

 join forces. Farmers and educationists will 

 have to join hands in arranging the details 

 of a new system of education and in making 

 new plans about work. I am sure we have 

 all come to the time when we shall be glad 

 to have it so. If we have, the rest of it will 

 not be so difficult after all. Both agricul- 

 ture and education will be the gainers by it. 

 Our education will more completely aid 

 the evolution of our industrial democracy, 

 and our agriculture will more surely come 

 into the possession of its own again.
