Four-H boys of Beaumont have this season brought home a practical lesson in the value both to grower and consumer in diversified farmine in place of too much specialization. Francis Lee, living at Fourteenth and Beaumont avenue, recently consigned the remainder of his 4-H fat pig project at the Los Angeles Union stockyards and procured the market top of 12 cents per pound. On that day these were the only pigs of this class to reach this price. His eight grain-fed butchers averaged 1S8 pounds and netted him 1120.

This was but one of his pro! ects. in my experience, the young farmer explained, "it has proven far more profitable to feed my brother, Bernard's, barley than to attempt to market the raw product." The Lee brothers are engaged In diversified farming, "to overcome the unwholesome condition produced by specialized farming with the resultant purchasing of interior products in the market for the farm table."
