You'll observe that there are about a many kinds Of farmers as there are of trees in a forest. When 0 man sets out to be a farmer it behooves him drst to make up his mind what kind of a farmer he's going to be-whether a hay farmer or a hen farmer; a fruit farmer or truck farmer; a hill farmer OF a swamp farmer; a corn-a nd potatoes farmer or an aeparagus-and-g green peas farmer: a dairy farmer or a sheep faFner; an all the year farmer or a part -of-the- time farmer; a city farmer or a back-rosds farmer; c farmer for fun OF a farmer for keeps. Or some other sort of farmer. When & hillside sets out to become a forest, the young sapiinss start up all over it, some in ciuEnps and some singlY, including per haps thirty or forty different varieties
 Some are hickories and some are ma ples and some are chestnuts and some are oaks and some are white birch
 It Is the general opinion, derived from long observation that what 9 sapling sets out to be 1t will be, provided you don't chop it off or it doesn't die in it's youth If it starts to be hickory you can't change it to a paper birch by any known means of cultivation or feeding pr grating.
