AS the harvest season advances
approximations of loss from upfor-
tunate weather conditions cannot
be resisted. In the past the people
have had some bitter experiences
in this line. While present meth
DDS prevail this danger will an
nually occur In the progress of
the future it will become much less
if it does not disappear altogether.
The danger and the occasional
losses that have occurred in the
past are results that could not
follow a more economic system of
farming. The custom now prevails
Of planting large individual acreage
The perfect system of wheat farm
ing cannot be attained until smaller
holdings are the practice generally
When the time comes for more
diversity III farming the wheat area
will be sown in proper season, the
grain will ripen in the natural har-
vest season and will be harvested
before danger af autumn rains may
reasonably be expected. The man
who now works the large fields of
fertile soil takes other risks that
will vanish wheel the science OF
agriculture is understood and
heroically applied. AS his risks
are greater now however his profits
and his losses are greater also.
But there is another apparent at
traction in prevailing reckless
methods. Even the risks have a
charm for the western farmer who
has imbibed the universal spirit OF
speculation. The western farmer
works harder and displays more
energy Than any other farmer in
the world. He will survive physi
cal strains that would kill hlooded
horse and he will survive finan
lcial loss that would break Van
KEGS heart aud never relax hi,
energies. As much as we viii
mourn the change we must have {
little Of the Yankee conservatism
on the farm before farming can b.
based upon business principles il

steel and other manufactured att
cles have moved up in price and
continue advancing.
There IS no use denying the fact
that the settlement of the tariff
question has stimulated trade. The
worlds shortage in wheat is the
source of one demand that has adj
vanced prices but the increased de-
n,and for home consumption is an
other source and this demand
arises from the fact that the man
ufacturer sees his way clear to
furnish supplies for the home mar
ket. The laborer is at work in the
factories on steady time at steady
wages, He can supply the needs
OF his family and the demand for

depends upon the employment of

vantage which with little effort
will control the wheat trade this
fall. This little effort and expense
will be incurred in keeping the
roads in condition for the heavy
traffic, but the cost will be light

from the increased trade from the
