AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.

In this age of progress in every
calling OF life, from the mud SiIS
up, no man can follow the ways
and methods of his fathers and win
success. Primitive implements and
ways will not now answer for the
requirements of today The time
for merely "tickling" the earth at
seed time without prior thorough
preparation of the ground has now
but little standing room on the plane
of successful farming
All the children OF men must
subsist on the products OF the
ground and as consumption in
creases with the growing number
OF mouths TO fill, the earth remain
ing the same in area, il becomes
necessary TO hit upon plans to
develop and increase her produc-
uveness. With this and in view
the soil and lis adaptability TO GER
tain growths is carefully considered
climatic influences come in for at
tention; the average rainfall and
It's usual time of visiting the coun-
try is studied and further, the how
and when man can assist nature in
bringing about the best results.
This bringing Of brains to care
ful study of agriculture and its fit
ness to present conditions has
brought about what is now some
times called Offensive Farming.
Under this plan not only has man
made 1.-TWO blades Of grass to grow
where only one grew before, "but
he has caused many blades OF grass
and many other things, equally
essential to our being, to grow
where none had ever grown. Vast
sections of country, on other CONT
nents as we'll as this and hitherto
called deserts, have been brought in
TO fruitful bearing within the time OF
the present generation. Coming
close TO home who among US is not
familiar with the history OF the
early settlement Of Iowa, Nebraska,
Western Kansas and "The Terri
tory," and later on West Texas
and the "Plains Country" Hard
ly twenty years ago West Texas
was known as the land Of "blasted
hopes. artic Billiards and starva
TOM West Kansas was called
the home OF cyclones, drouths, hot
winds, grass-hoppers and misery
generally; the territory was thought
of only as refuge for criminals and
West Texas as place "only flten'
for longhorns, razorbacks and cow
boys.
What change in all this since
then! And, all Of it, has been
largely brought about by agricul-
tural progress. Improved ways OF
treating the soil requiring less man
labor and up-to-date machinery.
This agricultural progresS-adapt-
ing ourselves to natures laws and
aiding them by modern research
and invention-has made our sister
commonwealth on the north rich
farming sections and some day,
sooner or later, as much will be said
of our Plains country.
