'Plot farming conditions?.
The trouble with most farmers they
go around crying hard times, when
they thcmsblves can batter farming
conditions by chanjgdng their old sys-.
tern of farming. '
If you suggest a change they make
so many ?excuses that you would
think that they are trying ten times
harder not to change. Most farmers
that I know can argue convincingly
that they are losing ground and absolutely
cannot go on the same way,
uut they never decide Jto. change.
' The southern farmer depends not **
largeM but entirely on plant proluutitpi,
consequently we have a one
arm system-of- farming, daut wedepend
entirely on the less profitable
arm
Almost every year since the World
War the various farmers of animal
production has shown a greater increase
over plant production.
To better farming conditions and .
Increase your income, we must live #;
it home. But that is not enough, wc
liust adopt a balance system of farm
pg?balancing anifoal production with >.
plant production.
