Agriculture has been called reckless
gambling on the weather" Certainly,
this characterization is deserved when
men unskilled in the first principles Of
tilling the soil betake themselves to IN
familiar climates and experiments. Yet,
as all wealth is the fruit of the soil and
all industry is based upon the results of
the labor of husbandmen, the element Of
chance may considered as small factor
in the problem. The man who conducts
the business of farming with the same
energy and skill as the successful mer-
chant or professional man will reap the
same measure of reward. The time has
passed Gift ever existed when fortunes
were made by unskilled owners of small
farms in Florida or California. Today
such holding means in general the
raising Of only one class of Eroduc.s, and |
that peculiarly to perish by atmospheric |
changes. In the Middle Western states
farming is recognized as a well-regulated
business, carried on under known CON
ditions of production and a recognition
of permanent market demands. Diver
sifed agriculture in this temperate eli
mate has passed entirely out of the OK
perimental, speculative stage, and he
