man with ability to make a success of farming* can do 

 very much better for himself in the business than that. 

 I am far from decrying the ability of the farm workers to 

 rise to managerial positions if they are given the necessary 

 training and opportunities, but at present they g"et 

 practically no training- in this direction and the more 

 enterprising of them leave the industry because there are 

 not sufficient opportunities for rising to such positions. 

 The co-operative societies are not to blame because there 

 are not more competent managers to be had, but they are 

 to blame for taking such a limited \iew of what is 

 necessary, and for attempting to get their farms run by 

 underpaying managers or for attempting to do without 

 competent management.
