Farming education vs practical experience in agriculture
An essay argues that a four year agricultural college course cannot replace hands on farming. It cites C S Chase at the Nebraska fair and stresses that true farming skill requires practical field work, not just books and professors. The piece notes New England practice of sending youths to college while bright ones work the farm and warns graduates may lack real farm management. It ends with a plug for Thomas Electric Oil as a valued remedy.
