The men with whom the farmer competes are organized to get the best results for themselves in their dealings with him.

The farmer is engaged, usually without the assistance of organization, in competing with these organizations of other groups of citizens.

Thus the farmer, the man on whose product we all live, too often contends almost single-handed against his highly organized competitors.
How have the agricultural schools and colleges and the Departments of Agriculture of State and Nation met this situation?
Largely by the assertion, in word or in act, that there is only one thing to be done for the farmer.

So far as his personal education is concerned, they have tried to give him a sound body, a trained mind, and a wise and valiant spirit.

But so far as his calling is concerned, they have stopped with the body.
