spent on the new farmer in any other
country.
Step by step farming is becoming
a sure and scientific profession. The
risks and uncertainties that formerly
tossed the farmer back and forth
between hope and despair, are being
mastered. The Weather Bureau,
which sent a half million warnings
last year to the farmers, has already
become so skilful that six-sevenths of
its prediction come true. In Kansas,
wheat growing has become so sure
that there has been no failure for
thirteen years. And in the vast
Southwest the trick of irrigation is
changing the man-killing desert into
farmers paradise, where there is
nothing so punctual as the crops. -

What has become of the Duck Creek
Hundred Law and Order League?
There was more drunkenness seen on
our streets Saturday night than at
any time since the no-license law
went into effect. Rumors are afOat
that there are speakeasies around and
about Smyrna. If there is anything in
the good motives and intentions of the
Duck Creek Hundred Law and Order
League, it would seem that the
president should call meeting and
have the several rumors investigate.
In addition to this the town police
should see that the ordinance with
respect to drunkenness on our streets
is enforced. A few arrests will have
a beneficial Influence. Of course it is
impossible to prevent whiskey from
being shipped to Smyrna, but our
streets can be kept free of the
nuisance of drunkenness if our officers
will persistently enforce the law.
Strawberry season will soon be on,
and money will be more or less in
circulation. To see that this money
is not spent to make disorderly
conduct on our streets will require
the close attention of the Law and
Order League and our town officers.
Being within a mile of the only wet
county in the state, means more to
Smyrna than any other town, and in
view of this fact there is need for
close and constant vigilance.

THE UP-TO-DATE FARMER
Vast Progress Made in Agricultural Science
And Farming

Scientific agriculture is young.
1t has had to wait until machinery
prepared the way, by giving the
farmers time to think and money to
spend. The first scientist who took
notice of farming was the French
man LavOisier. He found out the
composition of water, in 1888, and
was in the midst OF many discover
les, when a Paris mob hustled him
to the guillotine The famous Liebig
next appeared and founded the first
agricultural experiment station.
Then came Berthelot, the father of
synthetic chemistry, with his sensa-
tional announcement 1.-The Soil is
Alive.
To-day the new farmer finds him
self touched by science on all sides.
He knows that there are more living
things in one pinch of rich soil than
there are people on the whole globe.
He knows that he can take half
dozen handfulls of earth from differ
ent parts of his farm mix them
together, send one thimbleful to a
chemist, and find out exactly the
kind of crop that will give him the
best harvest. And more, now that
science has given him a peep into
nature s factory, he can even feel a
sense of kinship between himself and
his acres, because he knows that
the same elements that redden his
blood are painting the green hues on
his fields and forests.
There are Is, 900 new farmers who
have graduated from agricultural
colleges; and since the late Prof.
W. o. Atwater opened the first
American experiment station in 1875,
fifty others have sprung into vigor-
GUS life. There is also at Washing
ton an Agricultural Department,
which has become the greatest
aggregation of farm-scientists in the
world. To maintain this department
Uncle Sam pays grudgingly 81, 900, 900
a year. He pays much more than
this to give food ard blankets to a
horde of lazy Indians, or for the
building of two or three warships.
But it is at least more than is being
