BRITISH FARMER.
| BUT POOR MARKETER. "Acre Cor acre, Ihe British farmer is the best farmer in the world and contributes far more than his share of the world output even of wheat," writes Mr L. W. Lyde in the Cornhill Magazine. "Indeed, though he is working to the acre with a plough, not to the chain with a spade—like the much applauded Danish or Belgian farmer —there arc more acres in England actually yielding 'tO-T>o bushels than in either Denmark or Belgium. But he is a poor marketer; and even so, lie is trying to do two jobs at once —farm and market, while the Danish farmer leaves his marketing to a marketer. No farmer can do both | to-day in Britain, not even if he at- i
tends only one market a week. If the | urban mind really wants to help the j farmer, lei us devise a sound scheme j for such a typical urban function as j marketing!" !
