Synopsis Significant association of grades was found with (a) farm experience, (b) vocational goal, (c) scholarship holders, and (d) course workload. Higher percentages of grades A and B and lower percentages of grades D and E were found for: (a) students from the farm than for those from the city; (b) graduate workers, vocational agriculturists, and farm advisors than for farm salesmen, farm editors, farmers, and farm managers; (c) students in the farm group with scholarships than for those without; and (d) students with heavy course workloads than for those with light workloads.
