HAVE 4 PURPOSE IN FARMING

Unquestionably, the main reason
why many farmers make such a poor
showing and accumulate so little is
to be found in the fact that they AVE
no definite purpose in their farming.
They do not know What they are Try
ing to do. Their main crop this year
may be cotton, next year 1t may be
corn, another year it may be some
hting else. They may go into hogs
when prices are high and out again
when prices get low. They do not
know even now what crops are to go
in the different fields next year, and
thew have only the vaguest sort OF
idea as to what they will have to dis
pose of next fall or next spring.
This sort of farming will never sue
coed. The first thing for the farmer TO
do in planning his work is to decide
what particular line Of farming he
will follow. If he is going to make
cotton. or peanuts, or hogs, or DAIRY
products, or anything else, his nam
dependence for cash, he must then
plan his rotation, lay out his fields, ar
range his work with a view to making
this specially as profitable as posi-
bic. Then he can give attention to the
best methods of handling the other
crops and other lines of work.
Judicious specification, or at least
judicious arrangement of crops and
work with a definite end in view, is
the only safe plan for the farmer to
follow. This is not incompatible with
proper rotation and Investigation. In
fact, it is almost an essential part OF
it. H%aphazard rotations, uncertain
aims. constantly changing plans must
give way on thousands of our South
ern farms to definitely planned prog
ress toward a determined end, before

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN At
AT YOUR FAIR THIS FALL

progressive Farmer.
The fair season has opened in the
South, Our readers will go to these
fairs in large numbers and many of
them, we hope, will be greatly bene-
fitted, but every year We cannot help
feeling that our fairs, while avowedly
existing mainly for educational pur-
poses, fall far short Of affording, the
instruction they might. The failure is
not entirely the fault of the fairs, how
ever, altho it must be admitted they
have not been run in a II to at
ford the most instruction of the best
kind. But in this article we have in
mind chiefly to call the attention of
u readers to means by which they
may obtain more benefit from their
visits to these fairs as they now ex-
list.
The writer became interested in hog
judging some twenty years ago and
went to see the great hog show made
at the Iowa State Fair. He spent his
time around the hog pens and close
to the show ring and when a hog won
a prize or vas judged superior to an
other he politely asked the reason, if
he did not himself see it. He learned

of books or by himself.

the facilities they should for making

it might be, but any judge is always

always be done on every class, wheth-

As | look over the farming business
of our country. looking at it from the
business farmers standpOlnt-many
things appear that cause me TO believe
that We have not, as q class, learned
properly to study Il business. And
yet farming is subject 10 the same
business rules as are other businesses,
good management spelling success,
the opposite failure. The farmers
plant is his soil and equipment. A
long course of reasoning does not
seem necessary to convince the
thinking farmer that the richer and
more dependable his soil is, other
conditions being equal, the cheaper
he may produce his farm products:
for a rich dependable acre, while it
will produce far more than the unde-
pendable acre, will-because OF be-
ing in better mechanical condition.
be worked at less expense.
Therefore, in case our soils are
not in the best state Of fertility OF
which they are capable-which IN
cludes the best drainage-the first
move OF the Would-be business lar
mer should be the Improvement OF
his soil, by the most rapid and eco
nomical means within reach. Thls
may mean for the careful business
man the borrowing Of more or less
capital to enable him TO forward the
work in a business way. Many men
of the writer's acquaintance are
working under the handicap OF an
unfertile, undrained soil because OF
timidity in the matter OF securing
sufficient capital. A man of real
ability in his line need seldom fear
to use the other mans dollar to sup
plement his capital of dollars and
brain power; but lacking ability or
nerve, it is probably wisdom to pro
coed more slowly toward the desired
goal.
Having a dependable soil, other
matters demand the earnest thought
of the business farmer. The profits
from fertile soils may be reduced
from % per cen to 80 per cent. by
the use Of poor tools or insufficient
power. A deep, we'll broken oil

the production of cheap products;
for moisture is the controlling f1ctor
in the production Of crops. This
proper breaking of the land requires,
first a good pillow, second, suffcleht
power to pull the pillow at the max
imum speed. 1t costs no more ior

The same principle spplies in the
working OF tho crop. The man VINO

OF the one-horse cultivator, works
two and one-half to four acres per
day. My readers will readily see how,
by the use of plenty of power and good

over the less fortunate man who, for
any reason, works poor land. with In

during the winter, while the weather
is cool, and the land in the best condl-
ton to work, will accomplish twice
with the same power that a team will

is dry and hard. Then the action Of
the frost on the roughly broken, Win
ter-plowcd land, will do more toward
making Il perfect seed-bed than will
two harrowings on spring or summer
broken land.
Then when the crops have been
grown the business farmer should
look carefully to the manner OF mar
keting his products, and should keep
in mind at all times, that the fertlll-
t. taken from the soil is part OF the
cost to him Of growing crops; for, as
| said in the beginning, the rmers
plant is his soil, and reducing the
soil fertility is reducing the farmers
capital. This is the reason why some
of our most careful business farm
ers strive in every way to condense
the products before putting them on
the market, thus reducing the ton

price pei pound. Their aim Is to
reduce in such way as to retain
on the farm as much of the plant
food and vegetable matter the raw
plants carry as is possible to do, and
Still secure the highest value for
their crops and supply the
try's need in the matter Of lood or
clothing.
One more point should no, be
overlooked by the would-be business
farmer, and that is that he should
aim to do as much business as his
brain is capable of handling; i'll 9th
er words, work up to his capacity;
as the more business he handles II he
maintains the highest standard OF
excellence all along the line, the
more he will be paid for his ability.
