by men in •overalls on private in-
dividual basis and yet it surviv-
es, good weather and bad.
. The panel on Farm Business
M•anagement'at Clinton Seed Fair
was perhaps as good an illustra-
tion of what management tan
mean. Management is considered
to be the main artery :of all bus-
iness. The men who occupy exec-
utive positions in business indust-
ry are (called upon to make major
decisions at board meetings where
they call upon the heads of var-
ious
arious departments to not only give
information but suggestions. But
the family farmer? No board
meetings for him.. No- secretary
with her notebook and files to
obey his •alightest wish. He must
know his business from A to z,
keep his own accounts, figure-
his own production' costs, do his
own buying and selling, as well
as try to outguess iViother Nat-
ure herself. Many men are doing
all this, still get. a nights sleep,
