FARMING WITH BRAINS

IL hasn't been so very many years ago since the impression was general that any man who was in- dustrious and who had enough brains to hitch up horse or swing cradle or bind sheaf knew enough to be farmer It was not supposed that he had any need for an education further than the abil- ity to read and write a little and enough knowledge of figures so that he could tell whether he was getting the correct amount when he sold any of his stock or farm pro- duets The book farmer was scoffed at He was regarded as an impractical crank who had his head filled with a lot of foolish notions
 The farmer put in his crops with out any reference to the kind of soil in the field. One field was to be put in oats, another in corn and another in wheat He never knew or thought about trying to find out whether one field was better adapt ed to a certain kind of crop or not. All there was to farming was bull strength hard work and luck. Farmers have been finding out lot of things during the past few years They know now that there is no business perhaps that calls for more good hard sense, which means brains and scientific knowl- edge
 The farmer who farms with his brains as well as with his hands will simply distance the man who goes on in the old rut and doesn [ use his brains enough to be worth mentioning. The smart farmer knows now that one kind of soil will produce one kind of crop but won't produce some other kind and he asks why He also isn't satis- fled until he finds out why. Then he knows what to do to that piece of ground to make it profitable = Topeka Mail

In commenting on the work of the country newspaper the Little Rock Gazette in recent editor ial says among other things
 In the march Of progress the rural editor is rarely credited with what is due him. for he is the real hero in the strife His paper is the exponent of every progressive movement. the champion of every good cause and the defender of the good name of his town. Still there are those who are every ready to thwart him and throw Instructions in his way For fancied grievance over an insignificant item in his paper the rural editor often incurs the lasting enmity of people who subordinate public spirit to personal pique. In spite of this the rural editor lives and fills his mission. but he could live much better and fill mission of vastly greater po- teney to his community if he had the unanimous support and approv= al of his people
