acres, in many cases does not cultivate
as the European farmer, with his tiny
patch of tillable land, because he does
not have to.
SO far. however, as Prof. Drummond's
criticism may be of service in calling at
tenton to certain needed Improvements,
his remarks are worthy of study and
should be needed both by the agricultur-
lists and by the officials at Washington.
1t is quite certain, for instance, that the
American farmer might materially i'm
prove his products and his profits by
more economical and businesslike meth
DDS. With native energy and judgment
the American farmer in perhaps an over
whelming majority of cases does his ut
most to secure the largest product of the
best quality. Whether there are at his
disposal advanced scientific methods
which he is not now using is for the bu-
reau of agriculture to determine. Moth
ing is more obvious than that as the
population of the country increases ma
tive industry and Judgment must be sup
plemented by systematic and scientific
methods. 1t is to these scientific methods
that the farmer must turn more and more
to keep abreast of competition.
There are two sides to farming-the
cultivation of the soil and the administra-
ton of farm operations and finances.
The two are closely intprrelated, but it is
a question if the lack Of profits in much
American agriculture is not distinctly
traceable to neglect of the latter feature.
1t is for the farmer who does not
keep books. who does not secure the
most economical distribution of his
working forces, who does not compute
accurately the causes of his profits and
his losses with view to "A better adjust
ment of hi, means to his ends, to con-
slider whether he is not standing in his
own light.-Chcago Record.

AMERICAN FARMING METHODS

AMERICAN FARMlNG ME 7OOS
The opinions expressed by Prof. K. |.
Drummond of the West of Scotland Agri-
cultural collage to a staff correspondent
of The Record relate to a subject too
broad to be dismissed with single gen
eralization. Prof. DrummOnd declares
that American farming methods are bad ;
that particularly in the matter of dairy
products the American producer is being
outcassed by his Canadian rival, and
that owing partly to his own methods
and partly to the inactivity of the agri'
cultural department at Washington, he
is already behind the farmer Of other
nations.
When Prof. Drummond makes these
sweeping assertions he is obviously gen
eralizing on subject which in its length
and breadth is scarcely mastered by the
best agricultural authorities of America.
1t is easy to account for his opinions
when it is considered that of necessity
there is a vast difference between the
farming methods of Great Britain and
Europe and those Of the United States.
In countries where farms are small and
crowded it is inevitable that the ground
should be cultivated with rigid economy
and that the utmost care should be taken
to prevent waste upon even square yard
with his magnificent stretch of broad
