Smyrna times., 1912-02-21
RO ERR T. HOFFECKER,
Editor and Business Manager.

Here is a story of the success of
two young men who went to North
Dakota. Each had about SIS, 900 of
which So, 900 was put into ma
chinery. This provided them with
two powerful traction engines and
the necessary equipment of farming
machinery. Operations were begun
with breaking the raw land In
March 1911; by November of the
same year the young city-farmers
had marketed $50, 900 worth of
faxseed. whieh was hauled 40 miles
to the nearest railroad station. The
entire undertaking was managed on
modern lines: A days plowing with
each engine was estimated at %
acres, but when the crew by saving
time turned 80 acres in one day,
they were given a bonus of $5.
Thereupon 80 acres per day becam e
the usual thing. The same broad
gauge, liberal policy characterized
the whole undertaking. The most
competent men obtainable were
hired and we'll paid; the aim being
to do the largest amount of work
that could be done well in a day and
pay accordingly. Neither of these
young men had ever raised any fax,
but they went to the agricultural
station and thoroughly posted tn en-
selves. This was a success which
could not have been obtaipAd with
mere ability and-l,nflingness and a
pair of hands; it required capital,
yet it was brain and initiative
which won; for not only was the
crop itself highly profitable but the
land advanced in value in that one
season more than the entire expendi
ture for machinery. In these day!
the really successful farmer mus
possess brains and machinery.-H
H. Bindsor, in the March Popular
Mechanics Magazine.
