Prosperity in farming depends
somo on meteorological conditions.
Good soil and careful cultivation
will not produce good results un-
less there is enough rain to pro-
duce proper growth and develop
mcnt. However, this is not all.
1t requires strict application to
business, combined with good
judgment, to get the most out Of
the soil: Tho man who studies
tho ground he works and who is
most familiar with the plants he
cultivates should, all clso being
equal, get tho best result. Keep
ing well posted by reading the ex-
porience and tho suggestions OF
others, is always a help to practi
cal men who keep close records ol
their own WORK and experience.
The best Of management, Of course
may often be brought to Daugh,
by drouth OF the opposite, or by
more sudden weather vlsltations
but those arc conditions that must
be taken as they come. Shiftless
slouchy, careless work ruins moro
crops than all the rain, hail, scorch
ing heat, cyclones or tornadocs
