Excerpt from Agricultural Co-Operation in England and Wales Major Warman's short account of Agricultural Co-operation in England and Wales comes at an opportune moment. The abandonment by the Government of the policy of protecting the farmers of the country from disaster by guaranteeing grain prices, has left farmers to their own resources. Once again British agriculture has, unaided, to face the fierce attacks of international competition as best they may. For the campaign our farmers have two weapons - scientific farming and sound business. The air is filled with talk of the former, but the public hears, and agriculturists think too little of the latter. And yet on the business side of agriculture there is no shadow of doubt that if our farmers will really carry out the principles of agriculture co-operation outlined in Major Warman's interesting book, they will greatly increase their power to battle successfully with the difficulties which are likely to be their lot for many years to come. The total turnover of British Agriculture, in its annual purchases and sales, makes it far and away the most important industry of the country. And yet, broadly speaking, it is our only industry not conducted on the ordinary lines of modem business.
