Mr. John Fitzgerald:

Correct. The courses are probably fine, in themselves, but they could be structured in a better way. A student who goes to agricultural college in September is put into a dairy farm situation on 1 February, when the calving season is in full swing. That is probably not the best environment in which to learn. If the farmer is busy and cannot mentor the student like he needs to be mentored, it can be a poor enough experience for a young fellow who has come from a college with very little experience of hands-on farming. Although he will learn a certain amount over three months, it is not the best environment for him to get the best-----
