Farming With Brains.

10 those VINO nave been studying
the trend of agricultural progress in
this country for the last decade the
fact that the last eight years have pro-
duced on the whole remarkably
bountiful crops is food for thought,
says the Grand Forks Times.
The climatic conditions in this
group of years have been as varied
as in any other similar group, and
they have furnished as many circum-
stances that are at variance with good
crops as could be found in any other
eight years taken together out of the
last half century.
It is therefore evident that the eli
mate alone is not responsible for the
eight fat years that have been exper-
fenced. Neither is it probable that it
would be responsible for eight lean
ones should the story of Egyptian
agriculture in the time of Joseph be
repeated.
The soil is the same, and the crops
grown in the different parts of the
country are the same kinds that have
so often been failures.
The condition is the result of farm
ing with brains.
The agriculturalist of today goes
about crop raising with more reason
ing and with a greater understanding
of the cause and effect of things ap-
pertaining to his profession.
1t has not been so many generations
ago since the idea was entertained by
otherwise Intelligent people that, any
attempt on the part of man to avoid
the consequences of drought was an
effort to thwart the will of omnipo-
tence and therefore sacrilegious.
Carried just step higher men con-
sidered the idea of avoiding the con-
sequences of unavoidable weather
conditions as absurd and laughed to
scorn the idea of battling with nature
with any hope of winning.
These people planted their fields
and gambled with fate as to the result.
The insects and diseases that raw
aged the grain crops were evils that
the farmer must suffer according to
these old notions, and no means of
staying their progress was consid-
cred.
Now the farmer is not only a bust
ness man but he is a scientist. He
has studied the means by which the
adverse in nature may be turned to
good, and he has methods by which
he takes that which nature can not
help having, and by refusing to per-
nit its wastage to so conserve it that
what was formerly wasted is utilized
for his good.
By the use of brains he has mas
tered the obstacles of nature, failure
becomes unknown except in the, most
extreme instances, and the certainty
of agriculture as profession becomes
assured.

ICE FOR COTTON GROWERS.
Investigations by the Agricultural
Department Prove That Feathered
songsters Are Helping to
Destroy Pest

Investigation has proved again that
in the birds the farmer has an unfail'
ing friend. Scientists employed by
the government agricultural depart.
ment have discovered that 2S species
of birds feed on the cotton boil weevil,
that great pest of the south, which at
one time threatened to destroy the
cotton growing industry of Texas and
some other states. And of these %
species, the oriole, in summer, the
blackbirds and meadow larks, in win
ter, and the night hawks are shown to
hold the highest records for efficiency
as weavil destroyers.
The problem of controlling the raw
ages of this cotton pest in the cotton
growing states has been one of such
serious moment and great Importance
that the United States department
of agriculture undertook the careful
study of the matter.
Accurate information as to the value
of our native birds as destroyers of
this pest, which is of such great i'm
portance to the cotton grower, could
be obtained only by means of careful

and continued observation in the field
supplemented by study of the stom-
ach contents of the birds Field OBJ
servations alone, unverified by stom-
ach examinations have proved unre.
liable. Birds may be observed picking
insects from cotton plants, but it does
not follow that the insects are boil
weevils; nor is the statement that
boil weevils have been found in birds
stomachs, if made by persons unac-
customed to the Identification of in.
sects, to be accepted as conclusive. In

nearly always in a more or less disin.
