SOME PRACTICAL IDEAS
FOR THEM TO THING ABOUT
(By Levi B. Harry

Almost every man In FaIrmont has
had experience at some time in his
life on the farm. 1t makes but littla
difference what the mans occupation
is. he will make you believe that he
knows more about farming than any
thing else. We walk up and down the
streets and bny and admire the fruits
and vegetables, the products of the
farm, as set cut on the walks In front
of our grocery stores. We are farm,
ers enough to know that almost all
the produce is foreign produce and
shipped In from different sections Of
country.
The farms around Fairmont are, as
a general thing, large farms consist.
ing OF hundred acres and m2re.
They are grazing farms; and appq-
rently no attempt Is made at truck
gardening or the raising of fruit. As
a matter OF fact, a man should not
attempt to cultivate more than ten or
fifteen acres. The Investment in q
lot of ground consisting of ten or fit.
teen acres would not exceed tine cost
Of small house and lot located with.
in the city. 1t requires but very Iii.
tie money to provide implements with
which to work the farm. Fairmont ar
fords all the market desired for the
products of the farmland one would
not have TO wait long for the returns
for their investment and labor. 1t IS
no trouble to raise 10000 worth OF
potatoes on the acre and almost as
much sweet corn, strawberries and
raspberrles will yield from $500 to
$40 to the acre. A good yield can be
mad from tomatoes and cabbage; 9th.
er vegetables can be raised in 4
smaller degree with equal profit per
acre.
AT the same time, much small fruit
may be cultivated, which within a few
years will pay for the investment. and
from the very beginning, the greater
part Of the living can be made from
the COW and chickens.
There is no reason why Fairmont
reople should have to buy foreign
fruit and vegetables whicn can be 80
easily and so profItably produced at
home. You can make money by nc.
quIrlng few acres Of land, formulat.
ing a plan Of operation, and carrying
1t out.

9S6 pounds; rye, 913 pounds. These
same crops except beans, show an av-
erage considerably higher for the years
1902, 1903 and 1904 than for the twen-
ty-three years. During the last three
years also these have been tried In
cooperative experiments, many hun
dreds of farmers cooperating in grow
ing certain crops under the direction
of the experiment station. The aver
age yields on these farms have been
much larger than on the average farms
of the province. The reason is easy to
understand. These men are in touch
with the experiment station work,
many of them having been students
themselves at the agricultural college
or having had sons there who brought
back to the farm the information
gained The fact that the farms OF
these men have produced larger crops
shows that success In farming is the
result of Intelligence and information.
When knowledge is generally dissem-
mated among the farmers, the whole
average yield will be brought up to the
point now made by the best farms
