OAKLAND FARM NOTES

I cry farm operation IN prospe ct
should be carefully outlined in ad-
vance. The commencement o t
winter is not too early to begin
planning farm work for next year.
There will be many stormy days
when outside work cannot be COM
fortably done, which can be most
profitable and indeed, pleasantly
spent in making plans for the COM
ing year, and thinking over the prob
lens which the past years expert
ence has brought home to us for
solution. 1t requires great deal
Of thinking to successfully conduct
even a small farm, but good many
farmers do not appear to recognize
this truth, and simply follow the
beaten path to which they have been
accustomed from year to year, with
out expending any considerable
amount of thought as to whether
their regular routine could not be
improved upon and their business
made more profitable by a little
time, thought and study. Exam
Piles are not uncommon in almost any
nelghborhood to prove that such
would be the case, but the habit of
a life time are hard to break. |
think the great trouble with most
of us is, that we do not have suf-
6cient faith in farming to make the
necessary investment to reach the
highest success, whether that invest.
ment be in the capital or the effort
that we put into our business.
Many times we may not have beer
satisfied with the results which we
have gotten, yet feel that our fail

than to ourselves, and, consequenN

Ing and planning how we could
bring success instead of partial
failure under like conditions IN an.
other season.
To The man of an investigating
turn Of mind, and who has trained
h mself to careful observation, there
are great opportunities along this
line. Just a few years ago, man
who had applied himself to the
seemingly impossible task of grow.
ing good crops in the semlarid
region when the rain fall was ap.
parently too small to get a maxim
MN yield, was rewarded for his
patient thought and effort in the
discovery of the so called "dry
farming principle" which has prov.
ell successful in the growing of
many crops upon the semi arid lands
of the west. As logical result of
his so.called discovery, not only
practical farmers, but also colleges
and experiment stations, have taken
up the work and enlarged on the
principle, all of which has done
much for the improvement of west
crn agriculture, In way, this
mans discovery was accidental, yet
he had worked toward this end for
years, bending every thought and
energy towards solving the problem,
which fact gave HIM a keen eye
and quick discernment iu noting
effects and ascribing them 70 the
proper causes, as a man who had
not trained himself in similar way
could not have done. Now some
of the farmers who read this, will
likely say, "We have no such gen
eral problems to solve" and yet,
right at home in our own local
work, small though its scope may
be, there are many unsolved prob
lens which we can help to work
out in the relation of crops, the
fertilizing and cultivation of oar
soils, care and maintenance of our
live stock, the handling of our
wood lots. Some will perhaps
laugh at the wood lot and think we
have too much wood. Now that
perhaps is true at the present time,
but at the present wastefulness as
as we are handling our timber now,
a few more years will tell on our
forests and we ought to think there
are others to live after us aud they
will be very thankful to us for say
ing the wood lot for them. And
now last, but surely not least, the
problem of the economical produc.
tion of our crops.
alt is most cOmmendable under
taking TO make two blades of grass
grow where but one grew before. "
This is one means Of producing the
two blades Of grass more cheapIy
than the one could be produced
The broader application of the
economic prlnci pie will enable us
cheaper the cost of production,
even where the product itself is
doubled or perhaps largely increas'
ed.
There are great many problems
of this kind which will suggest this
to any farmer who begins to make
plans early for his new seasons
campaign, even If a solution oI
them will involve some improve
ments abont the farm which require
additional investment, or take more
planning to carry into effect, ye
the habit of careful planning for
the work ahead and of carefully
thinking out the details, and study
ing the means by which the worI
eau be brought to most successful
consummation. When it once be
