lt suggmts an increasing awareness among oattlemen of of (lo pro-

ductilon. grass were pointed out and the great variation in value between

r fodder and good fodder highli-ghetd. Numerous interest- :ng and valua points were made. For instance Dr. Nich-

ly that on the basis of tests there is more money to be made out of steers by roughing them throughout the winter then fmislri-ng them on grass than w‘ . the case if they are finished in the winter time. As one farmer put it one hundred dollars worth of feirtilrize-r on pasture will give more gain than will $500.00 worth of steer ration. A recent edittorial in the Patriot emphasized another matter pointed out that of relative investment between buildings and livestock on in- dividual i'arms.

Finally we think that those who plan the course showed good judgment in having balance between the scientific speakers and those with the practical experience. Someone remarked that an agnlcultuma.l- ist is one who knows all about it but a farmer is one w knows how to do it.
