Whoever could make two ears
of corn grow or two blades of grass
to grow upon a spot of ground where
only one grew before has been in
line for blue ribbons recently"
says the Newark Post. ''The grain
broker has been quite second class,
and the grain producer has been the
man of the hour. The farmer is
now just as frequently spoken of as
'the agriculturist' but one name
is just as we'll as another to him.
He is a theme for newspaper and
magazine writers, a cause for inves-
LEGATIONS and commissions, and is
yearly becoming more of factor in
legislation. All the while he smiles
serenely-he is not overcome by all |
this attention. He simply credits
the enthusiasts with a slow minded
ness of which they have been won't
to credit him and only considers it
ineonceivable that they should have
even denied his paramount import
ance. He is the great one-half of
this cOuntry-he thinks he is the de-
pendable one-half and that the atoms
that constitute the other one-half
dwell in houses built upon sand.
"He has more right to discourse
upon the weather than any man
alive, not that be has the making
of it, but because he is Mother
Natures great right arm. His food
is not to him palatable or tasteless
by reason of success or failure in a
world of competition. yet a spirit
of competition once in a while does
help to favor it. The New Castle
County Fair is great help to the
farmer hereabouts as we'll as in
other localities. 1t helps if they go
merely to look, more so if thev have
entries in the exhibit. They return
to their homes with increased respect
for themselves and the life that is
theirs. The time of exhibition is a
time of competition. The rest of
the year, the main idea should be CO.
operation. This idea is very slowly
awakening, but it is very likely the
next great movement to be made in
the agricultural world.
''The trained mind will guide the
skiIful hands. Now and then results
are seen, which will some day lead
to a permanent cooperation. The
farmers of Pennsylvania have formed
association which plans to operate
400 stores in New York city for the
disposal of farm products, reason.

Other associations have tried thii

promising and is being watched witt

benefits of such organizations-th
buying of implements, chemical
and groceries, the hiring of labor

of helpful courses Of lectures. On
local example Of cooperation is tn
saving of three hundred dollars O

'Possibly the main reason of tn
