| Farmers everywhere agree tnat tne
kind OF crop they attempt to raise is OF
no more Importance than is the deter
limitation to make the ground produce
as much of that crop as possible. TIC
be sure it is wisdom to select the crop
which can be best raised and market
ed in the district in which the farmer
lives. but it is no longer recognized as
good form to conduct the business in
slovenlv manner The idea that be-
cause a farmer is his own boss he can
afford to be slack when he wants 10
and work hard when he feels like 1t, Is
I.Itoeether erroneous Men who have
II been slaves to the clock in large cities
and have attempted to throw off the
woke by taking a farm have had to
learn this by bitter experience. 1t IS
generally accepted as good gospei
among farmers that hard work, sup
nlemented by an intelligent direction
of that work, is necessary to make
farms pay.
Down in South Carolina, in corn
contest for boys. young man, Bascolh
Usher by name, took the first prize
with 1927. bushels of corn raised on
one acre of ground The corn sold for
s. per bushel and the fodder for $50,
making total of $685. for the careful
cultivation of an acre of ground which
sells in that part of the country at
from SO to $40 per acre. The Charles
ton News and Courier in discussing
the matter reaches the conclusion that
the boy made ii net profit of 5000 or
900 per cent The News and Courier
says:
DO boys want to move to the
city when they can do such things
on the farm? What do the farm
ers care whether cotton is up or
down when corn can be produced
in such quantities? The agr-
cultural wealth of this State is
beyond the widest dreams of the
adventurers.'
That sounds well for South Caro-
lima. Why not apply the same spirit
to Maine? Maine farmers are find
ing out every day that we are not get
ting all that can be gotten from Maine
soil. We are blessed with pro-
ductive soil when it is handled intel
ligently. Perhaps we cannot make
such record on corn. We hardly
think it is possible to raise the aver
age up to 1872 bushels per acre, but it
is possible to raise the average to a
point great deal nearer to 1872 BUSH
els than it is at the present time.
Corn is only one of the crops which
can be improved and increased.
