Farming is a scientific profession,
a fact clearly demonstrated in recent
years, and he who farms without re-
cognizing this important feature is
liable to have poor crops. The select
ion of ground for different crops is
considered important and this should
be considered in connection with the
question of moisture. The improve
ment in c0rn seed and corn cultiva-
ton requires scientific consideration
and the question OF successfully rails
ing alfalfa is no less important.
The crop season just closed has
given every farmer ample opportunity
to study the cause Of success and
failure of crops on land of even pro-
d~uctiveneSs and it is hoped the les
son will not be over looked.

Why The Difference in Crops.

The good and the poor crops IN
joining fields during the dry crop sea-
son this year was ample proof that
some farmers gave their seed beds
more care than others, and no farmer
need expect best results unless he is
willing to put his seed bed in the
best possible condition. All farmers
aim for the best results like men in
other professions, and we know that
some business men are more success
full than others, resulting largely
from progressive, intelligent effort, a
fair average from which to judge men
| who till the soil, although it may be
| reasonable to assume that none or
the farmers prepared their seed beds
for a dry season or that they expected
a shortage of moisture.
The banker and the merchant can
reasonably anticipate the future, but
the farmer must depend upon the
| elements, and his estimate for sue
cess during the crop season can not
be determined under any known
method. He must trust to luck n
| the laws Of nature, still, as before
noted, there should be little or no
difference in the condition Of crops
on joining fields or fields separated by
a section line, but the dry season this
zeal proved that there was a vast
difference, and the difference in crops,
especially in corn, should be . lesson
worth studying and those whose crops
we're short should study the cause OF
failure. 1t will be a lesson worth a
great deal of money to the farmer in
the future.
If your corn and wheat and oats
we're not as good as your neighbours
this year, you ought to be able to pro-
fit by what you have seen and find a
, remedy. We all learn by experience,
and no branch OF labor presents so
broad a field for intelligent effort as
! the farm. If your neighbor raised 40
bushels of corn to the acre this year
and you only 25, it is worth money to
you to learn what caused the differ
ence. Intelligent effort on the farm
counts more than in almost any other
line of business, and this has been
very clearly demonstrated since the
LEADER began its great corn educat-
, ional campaign ten years ago, and in
proof we quote Hon. A. j. Wimple a
prominent farmer at that time and
the leading seed corr breeder in the
state today, said to the Editor of the
LEADER three years ago: 81 had been
planting and raising corn for 30 years
and never realized that there was
room for improvement, being satiftied
that | was doing as we'll as anybody
else, until the pure seed and seed
breeding campaign began, and now l
raise from 10 to 15 bushels more to
the acre than formerly and of a better
variety and worth more for seed and
feeding purposes and the LEADER
believes every farmer in the county
has protited from that pure seed corn
education, because they learned some
thing new and used brains in apply
ing the information. and the farmer
who farms without brain work is not
going to teach his neighbor much or
swell his bank account into automo-
bile figures.

stood that they treat all diseases that
the human body is heir to. They
mean to be very careful in selecting

results, which means good returns in
the way of their patients recommend

They estimate that over eighty per

follows:
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
