OUR OPPORTUNITY. 



{Oonclnded from page 36.] 

 proMema peculiar to the industry you 

 repJMentj and some of the most impor- 

 tant •f these you are not in a position to 

 cope with through your commercial and 

 c((tt«ational organizations. 



Plautsmen's Problems. 



^■e of these problems are purely 

 phmt problems; some of them are archi- 

 ti ;t»Tal and engineering problems, and 

 aornu ot them are economic in their char- 

 aite». I hare reference to the problems 

 (,i: plant feeding in the greenhouse; to 



house construction, equipment and 

 maintenance; to economical use of fuel, 

 and to rational and profitable utiliza- 

 tion of the equipment. In these days of 

 high labor costs, high fuel costs and 

 high transportation costs it is more im- 

 portant than ever before that your busi- 

 ness be so organized and so managed 

 that you secure the highest possible ef- 

 ficiency. 



I am wondering if you have ready at 

 hand information on the various factors 

 entering into this* equation to enable you 

 to successfully solve it. If not, who is 

 responsible? Have you endeavored 

 through concerted effort to develop an 



interest in your particular problem? 

 If you have not, you know upon whom 

 the responsibility rests. 



That group makes most rapid progress 

 that most effectively helps itself. 



Pekin, 111. — Haase Bros, are putting 

 up an Agmco house, ii6 x 100 feet in 

 size. When this house is finished this 

 establishment will have 35,000 feet of 

 glass. 



New Straitsville, O. — Recent en- 

 trants into the florists' business are 

 E. D. Otstot and his father, who have 

 just completed the erection of a small 

 greenhouse.
