Feed your crops to live stock: make the farm a factory. -Let your farm be a factory, a farm-factory, where most of the crops raised shall be consumed as feed for live stock, that finished products may be made and as such be sold, rather than as raw materials, in which form they were raised. Such a system of farming will lead to permanent improvement of the soil; it will secure from it the highest efficiency. These things it means: that there shall be diversity in crops; that more live stock shall be

bred and fed on the factory-farm; that the entire plant shall be managed as a business enterprise of the largest magnitude.

Study your work and be a man.-Finally, your business opens widest the gates of opportunity for study and development and right living.

The following words of Liberty Hyde Bailey, as beauti

ful as they are simple, as strong as they are true, indicate

the ideal of your regal pursuit:

I teach

The earth and soil
To them that toil,

The hill and fen

To common men

That live just here;

The plants that grow,
The winds that blow,
The streams that run,
In rain and sun

Throughout the year;

And then I lead

Thro' wood and mead,

Thro' mold and sod,

Out unto God.

With love and cheer,

I teach.
