Isn't It Strange How Silly So
Many Farmers Are?-..
Great, Is the Society

BY J. II. BURNEY
GREENV|LLE, KENTUCKY.

Isn't it strange how silly so many
farmers are? In thinking of so many
who have an idea of planting crops OF
tobacco this year, ! can't help feeling
like they have about as much business
capacity as a man would have who ad-
vocated throwing three months feed
to hog in one day.
After so many men have spent SO
much time, money and vitality getting
the people organizee to an extent that
has trebled the price of tobacco, for
lot Of fellows q suppose, out of pure
selfishness) TO take up an idea to plant
a large crop is simply out of harmony
with even common sense. Better be
holding light colors down while they
are at what might be termed normal
and cut down the colors of dark, for
there is two much now of this latter
type.
| see some districts passing orders
to the effect of planting ten thousand
hills to the hand. Well, this is mich
better than fifteen. but with plenty of
plants and favorable season, ten thous-
and would produce more tobacco than
has been made for several years, for
quite a number of men win attempt 10
plant who have not planted for many
years land some who never did. |
beg all men to act with sound iudC-
ment in this matter. I believe eight
thousand plants to the hand will bring
more mon.y to the growers than ten.
Had you ever thought how much to-
bacco is made in the United States
in one year. Take the year book for
1907 sent out by the U. S. Departm, Mt
of Agriculture. On page rs il shows
that the tobacco cr0p for that wear
was 645, 2l3, GOO pounds. which was the
smallest for many years, II per cent.

five wears. Notice, too. that it's value
was 10 per cent. above the five years

beating rain the field is left untouched the
surface dries off and the water coon comes
back up by capillary movement, carrying
to the surface Of the then firm soil the
soluble minerals from below. and they are
LETT there as a deposit of dry matter, just
as the salt is left in a glass from a salt
solution when the glass is placed where the
water will evaporate. Thus a dense crust
is formed which shuts out the air from the
roots, thereby checking chemical action,
and the plants soon cease to grow. IL the
Immediate surface has been stirred, and a
prolonged dry period follows, the crust will
form from below the loosened layer, with
an effect just as bad. To thus permit the
growth of the plant to be checked means
a decrease in yield OF grain, and the extent
of this decrease depends upon the period
In the plants growth.
! feel free to say that there IS no one
subject about which farmers know so lit

in the soil, and the formation of a crust
and why it is so injurious to the crops,
and it is one Of the most important.
Each Region Has It's Problems.

instance, have fallen short because they
have not watched the condition OF the
soil just beneath the mule So long as the
top Of the compact soil is moist the con-

top indicates that trouble Is near at hand
and the cultivator should be applied. IL

Of mechanical work. Complete as we have
made this seem, yet the farmers can by
study and observation so completely con.
troll these elements of fertility as to bring
favorable results where total failure had
been recorded in the past.
Now as to the mechanical processes to
be used In bringing about the desired con-

tool or implement or device or invention.
All / shall insist on is that the farmer
know what soil condition is necessary to
bring about the results he desires and that
he shall go by the most direct route to
obtain those conditions, Let me assure
you that no matter what your mechanical
work may be, the crop growth and grain
yield will be just in proportion to your
ability to obtain the ideal, fire, firm. moist
soil condition for nature TO do it's work.
Thing That is Essential.
II is The physical condition of the soil

than any particular system followed in

Watchfulness to avoid ruinous conditions
is better than an argument on blowing.
