Not one word is ever said about the multitude of failures. as practiced in the sections of the South served by the Atlantic Coast Line. The average farmer "is rarely enthu siastic about his business. There is something truly diabolical about the uncertainties of Nature and the frail ties of man, but especially with re gard to the uncertainties of Nature in connection with growing things, when it is necessary to get definite results. We know that certain things in definite amounts will always pro duce a definite something. We can be absolutely certain. But in farm ing it is not so.

There remain summer hail storms, but compared with fire and other risks in other businesses, tnis is insignificant. We know about all these things, but what the aver age farmer of the Nation's Garden Spot does not know is, why he made big profits one year and only a livr ing since. He has studied everything about his business except the most ele mental economies of the situation. And they frequently change before his dinner bell rings. We must admit that everything I have mentioned is true with regard to the farmer's risks, but what the Southern farmer will not admit is that he has failed to grasp and apply a system of agricultural operations which will minimize the chance of economic loss through failure of markets, transportation and the breaks which inevitably occur in the chain of human .activities that carry k" et and return his endowment for a term of six years, ed with the number of fine gardens on The clubs pledged a total of $408 to- every f,irm.
