were so noisy that he asked them

he was struck and knocked down and
beaten with, cane and with stones.
He died in few minutes.

spend more on the making of a big
crop than the crop is worth. But that
is not farming, and ii is never good
farming unless the work shows
good profit. and the soil is growing
In productiveness at the same time.
This is just the difference between
real farming and the dependence on
big applications of fertilizers to

Find What Your Corn Costs.

To those Of our friends who are en-
amoured Of the Williamson stunting
mode Of growing corn, I have a pro-
posal to make:
Measure your field exactly, so that
there will be no guess work. Then
measure Off one exact acre Of the
same quality of land in part of the
field. Give this acre the same pre-
paration as the remainder of the field
and cultivate it regularly, clean and
shallow without any stunting. Then

and sells the seed containing more Of
these plant foods than he applied in
the fertilizer, is it not evident that
the plants have drawn ON the soil for
more than was furnished in the fer
tilizer?
Then he finds that the same amount
OF fertilizer will not give him as
much crop on the same land, and he
concludes that fertilizers are only
stimulants. And. as he uses them,
they do amount to that very thing,
enabling the plant to get start that
enables 1t to draw more heavily on
the soil. and the soil gets poorer.
Then he let's the land lie with only
the dead cotton stalks on it all win
ter. and the rains wash out more SOL
uble plant food. when a crop of GRIM
son clover would have saved the
waste and would have added not only
some extra nitrogen. but lot of or
ganic matter to form humus and help
restore the waste.

practice the Williamson method If
you choose on the remainder of the
field. Charge the acre, and all the
other acres, with the rental value of
the land, and the actual cost of the
work put on it, and charge the part
treated with the Williamson methods
with the fertilizers used at their ac-
tual cost to you on the land, hauling
and application included. Put no
fertilizer at all on the one meas
ured acre. This will give you the
means for finding what the land will
do with good cultivation, and will
give you basis for calculating with
out guess-work, what the increased
crop on the Williamson part has
cost you. 1t would be still more in
structive IL you measure of another
acre and treat it exactly as in the
Williamson method, with the excep-
tion Of the stunting. Then you can
find what the stunting has done for
you.
We have entirely too much guess
work in our farming, and we cannot
get at the actual cost Of results with
out some means for accurate compa-
rison. Now, do this thoroughly, and
see just what your corn actually
costs.
The value of the time of every
horse or mule and man should be ac-
curately kept day after day. and the
crop weighed, both corn and fodder,
from sample acre of each. The
mere getting Of large crops is not
always evidence Of good farming. A
crop Of 100 bushels per acre may pos
sibly show less actual profit than one
of so bushels per acre. We should
have the matter of profit in view in
all of our farming rather than a
special effort to get big crops regard
less of expense. The same rule will
apply to all our crops, for all farm
ing should have the economical pro-
duction of the crops constantly in
view. 1t is easy for a rich man to
