However it would disrupt the entire fabric of government to have the returns from the farm placed at the disposal of the superintendent i or carrying on the work for the following year surely it might be possible furnish the agricultural press with a statement of these re turns for publication so that Farmers could Check their own efforts by them and see wherein they have failed where the demonstration Arm succeeded in making a profit and also As would undoubtedly occasionally happen where they had made a profit and the demonstration Arm failed to do so. The Best system of farming and the finest rotation of crops fails of its objective it it does not prove to those whose efforts it is intended to stimulate and help that it is profitable financially to do thus and so.
