Excerpt from An Example of Successful Farm Management in Southern New York
The reason and at the same time the justification for recounting the experiences and the methods of 'any individual farmer, however successful he may be, lie in the fact that a definite illustration brings out the underlying principles most clearly and, effectively. To most practical men the-concrete appeals more strongly than the abstract. Especially is this true in the teaching of better farm management, because it is a comparatively new method of attacking farm problems which is not yet clearly defined.
The general problems which confront the farmer in southern New York and northern Pennsylvania were outlined in an earlier publi cation.1 In the continued study of these problems, one of the best means of getting information which might lead to solutions of cer tain phases of them has been found to be the observation of success ful farms. For two years the work and methods of Mr. English have been studied. It is because he had worked out a more profitable solution of farm problems in this region than any other man in our experience that his success is worthy of telling and of reading.
