THEORY VS.. PRACTICE.


As general thing, theory is in ad-
vance Of practice. 1t is not so Of nee.
essity, but it is nevertheless, a fact.
Theory is the forerunner of progress,
but sometimes it outruns it. If there
is any virtue in negligence, the farmer
possesses it.. Why is it that theory and
practice, are so often so far apart?
Simply because Of the dislike to change.
We have been working in a certain
way for years, until we have worn
quite a rut so TO speak; we have
had misgivings all the while that
it was not the best way, but the rut
b eld US. We attend the Farmers in
s.itute and there hear that which
arouses US, and we know we are wrong,
but the rut is deep, and it will require
a great effort TO get out of it. Not
very often do we hear a visionary
theory presented at the institute. No,
it is theory reduced to practical GER
tainty, it being the modus operandi of
the speakers themselves. To us as
listeners it often looks visionary, be-
cause as we say it is surely too good to
be true. A speaker tells US how easy
it is to succeed along certain lines, and
we listen and are sure he is right and
that we too can and will do likewise.
But away from the glamour of the in
tellectual gathering it loses its roseate
hue. We find that it takes hard work
along three lines.
The first is the work propsr; the Sec
ond Is ourselves, and the third is our
neighbors.
Either one is task but combined it
seems herculeaD. What wonder if we
SO often fail? 1t is, however, this gen.
ius for hard work, this power of stick
at-it-iveness, this pratical power that
has made these aforementioned per-
sons what they are-leaders Of the peo-
we may we'll strive to emu
late them. In work, convert theore-
tical knowledge into practical as
quickly as IS possible.

LATE GROWN OR sEcoND-cRoP Po-
TATOES.


TATOEs.
The seed value of crop of pota toes
grown in the latter part of the season
is fully rec ognized by all who have
thoroughly investigated the subject,
but jast why the late grown crop is
stronger and more vigorous than one
grown earlier is an interesting problem,
although the fact is clearly demon
strated. The reason which appears to
me most evident is that the ripening
of potatoes in midsummer is almost
invariably accompanied by early blight,
causing rot. dying Of the vines and
seriously injuriug the vitality of the
seed. But in the latter part Of the sea-
son, when the weather is cooler and
when favorable conditions for blight
do not exist, we get the seed with un
impaired vitality.
Acting on this theory last spring
purchased seed, which l knew was
grown In the latter part of the previous
season, and planting it the first week
in July ! raised a crop Of fine, large
smooth potatoes, Now there is no
reason why every farmer may not have
his seed of late grown potatoes If he
will only take pains 10 do so. The
keeping of the seed until time for such
late planting is The main trouble, but
1t is easily accomplished by sun-spreut-
ing, which is simply spreading the seed
in thin lsyer where it can receive the
sunlight. 1t will send out strong
stubby sprouts that are not easily
broken of and will commence to grow
the day they are put into the soil. That
Is what | did last year aud scarcely
missing hill could be found in the
whole field aud none Of the subers were

than live as towards. - They added that
Spain has always had a special provi-
