As for the copartnership farms, they will be managed by

really expert farmers, so that no soldier who joins one of these farms will be backing his personal ability against fate. It is to be hoped that these farms, run by experts, will be widely distributed, so that as many farming districts as possible will have the advantage of watching the results of such cultivation. The copartnership farms ought definitely though incidentally to be demoruitration farms. One would also like to know why the term "copartnership" is used. The scheme as outlined looks more like profit-,haring. It is not proposed that the men should join in losses.
