Today farmers depend largely upon machinery to do their work for them, 

 a kerosene tractor to pull a disk harrow. 



Keystone View Co. 

 This farmer is using 



farm, is usually done at some of the state institutions for the 

 promotion of agriculture. 



Practical Exercise 6. What qualifications should a farmer possess? Do 

 you think the average farmer is well fitted for his job? Why? 



Forestry. A new and attractive profession has opened up in 

 late years through the need of protection and development of our 

 forests. Schools of forestry in different states train young men 

 to become foresters, either for the government or for private 

 industry. Forest rangers live a life in the open. It is their duty 

 to patrol the forests, to watch for and to fight forest fires, to prevent 

 illegal cutting, to control regular cattle grazing in forest reserves, 

 to replant burnt over areas, and to protect in every way our great 

 national asset, the forests. The lover of the out-of-doors will do 

 well to think seriously of this as a life vocation. 



Practical Exercise 7. List the qualifications most essential for the life of 

 a forest ranger. 



If possible, visit or tell of a visit to a ranger station. What would be the 

 routine life of a ranger ?
