practices are based upon the idea that a farm 

 is to provide activity and support for but one 

 family. In order, therefore, that the son 

 may marry and begin to develop his life in 

 his own way, it is essential to reorganize in 

 some manner the method of managing the 

 farm or to enlarge or, perhaps, specialize 

 its activities. This may be accomplished on 

 a simple partnership basis, or it may be in 

 some such line as outlined in the illustra- 

 tions which have been given. In other occu- 

 pations such co-operative effort is the rule 

 rather than the exception. That it is more 

 difficult to effect satisfactory arrangements 

 in farming must be conceded, else they 

 would be more common. Doubtless it will 

 often tax the ingenuity of father and son to 

 devise the plans best suited to meet their 

 particular problem. 



There still remains to consider another 

 form of business relation as applied to 

 farming which has become almost universal 

 in trade and transportation. The following 

 incident may illustrate and emphasize the 

 problem better than abstract discussion:
