The crop* to be growa should wv VIII J CMfiHI conaMcrntion. Then foil knowledge icgardlog the prodoction, handling, and marketing of those crops should be secured. The successful f educ tion and marketing of most horticul tural products Is a specialised bual neaa knowledge, so it is essential that growers do somo careful thinking be fore embarking too extessiveiy In new Adda. Individual growan should plant only a limited acreage natal they have learned the balances of growing the particular vegetables and fruits that they may have selected. Organised fee Production and Marketing Meet the problem of gnawing dif ferent crops not aa an irdividual hat by cooperation in groups. If it is neo ceaiary to grow new crops in a corn mar,Hy , the success of each grower will depend largely upon the devel opment of the community la these new endeavors. Organise the commu nity so that frequent meetings can be held to diacuas the advbaMllty of producing eortain crops, the serene to grow, and the production methods Better crops can bo grown at a lower net cost by growers working in groups with an accepted plan, than can bo prod scad by Isolated Individ uals washing alone. A ooSelent vol ume of uniform grade will thus bo produced In a community tv warrant consideration by the markets and the marketing problem will be greatly simplified.

Community production planli will mnterially aid in bringing about this condition. Each individual and each community group should study their particular hortkulloral cropa and work out plant that produce a high yield at a low not coot.
