Crops for Premiums.

Colonel s. ID. Harris, in n recent
communication to the Buckeye Farmer,
says The common practice of farmers
who compete for premiums Mt the agri-
cultural fairs in the fall is to put off all
concern in the matter until a few days
before the fair is held, and then il they
have any thing which is extra good in
the way Of n farm crop they will select
A sample and take it to the fair. This
is not the way they should do such
things, as there is no practical credit
duc.to Il man for IN accidental good
crop. The real objects Of premiums is
to stimulate people to work for them !;
it is IL very low motive when a n
completes for Il prize only that he may
win the money which is offered he
should strive, not so much for the mere
object of taking the premium as to
show what can be done in the way of
raising crops 10y trying for 1t in earnest.
And now is the time to begin think of
this while You are blowing the land,
while you are putting in the seed,
white You are tending the crop, and at
the time of harvest it will be no small
qualification that yol took good aim ut
success and hit the mark.
1t seems that every well directed eff
fort of the farmers arm in the days of
seed time is an act OF faith and prayer,
and that the like, in time of harvest, is
an net of praise and thanksgiving.
Then, whether, you take n premium or
not, you have achieved success, which
is better,
