The Farm and and Trials of the In
Observation-Disclosures Makes Perfect-Dreams do
Not Bring Satisfying Rewards-Nen who Jump Into
Farming and What They LearnLThe Quality that
Counts for Success.

about the rice farmers who had to sell
their product al that price-hardly the
rate for chaff? Scores of them lost
money, failed to get their expenses
back. One man made a big thing out
of the losses of others. His profit is
heralded across the continent. You
have to set your own thinlxery at work
to develop the collateral unmentioned
fact that nobody can get his money
back raising rice at $1.50 per sack of
1872 pounds Yet the losses of the num-
erous rice growers are just as import
ant part of the evidence as the profit
of the pig feeder. Because of the CO.
incidence that rice happens to be ruin
ously low and pork eXorbitantly high
one man makes easy money. But what
likelihood is there that such a COM
bination will occur again? If the price
of rice on the farm continues as low as
at present in Texas the rice raisers
will speedily stop growing it, and there
will be none at less than a cent
pound on the market. Which will end
the chance to get rich quick this par
ticular way.

Something over two years ago a
young man, working as a laborer at
monthly wages, got into an argument
with some of his fellows. They main
tanned that no workingman could save
any money at present wages and cost
of living. He contended that a work
ingman could save money at present
wages and cost of living They "dar
ed him, and he took the dare I'll
save $500 in twenty four months he
announced He did it. During the
next two years he worked as q day la
borer for eleven different farmers, as
he could find them needing help. His
highest monthly wage, extending over
only a short part of the time, was $40.
At the end of the twenty -four months
he had ACTUALLY saved $459. Now that
young man will succeed a. farmer,
if he decides to make that his calling.
But the others-those who couldn't re-
ally live, to say nothing Of saving mon
ey, on wages just like his own-they
had better not attempt farming on
their own hooks.
