THE BUSINESS AND ART OF FARM
ING

Farming is a business, says Prof
b. L.. Thompson OF the State College,
n the successful 'armer must first
OF all be a business man. He follows
his vocation primarily for the money
he a make, and like other business
men should aim to get the greatest
possible returns for the money and
labor involved.
Not only is agriculture a business
but it is an art as we'll; the art of pro-
ducing plants and animals that are
useful TO a In order for a farmer
to be successful to the utmost degree.
1t is necessary for him to understand
the principles upon which true agri-
culture is founded. One sometimes
hears the remark that anyone can
be a farmer" There may have been a
time when the above was true, but at
the present time the farmer, If he de-
sires to make a success Of farming,
must give as much attention and
thought to it, as a man in any other
business.
There are few occupations that re-
quire a broader scope Of knowledge
than does forming at the present time.
For example: the modern farmer
must not only know how to manage
his land so as to reap the largest
crops and at the same time retain the
fertility OF the soil, but he must be OF
a mechanical turn of mind as we'll, as
a modern farm has many intricate ma
chimes in operation, which require a
man Of considerable knowledge along
that line II he Is to successfully choose
and operate them to the best advan-
tage.
Many men have not made farming a
paying proposition because they have
not managed their farm In a business
like manner. Examples Of this are to
be found in any community. Anyone
who will take the trouble to look
around him while driving through the
country cannot fail to notice the shift
less name in which some farms are
operated. How often does one see
all OF the farm machinery standing

CHARLES JOHNSON DEAD
Struck By Broken Fly Wheel at the
Crookston Lumber Company
3&ssz F " Mill. %+ss.s !. e,....
HANS MosEN INJURIES ARM

Y What is reported as one of the most
serious accidents that. ever occurred
at the Crookston Lumber company
mill in this city took place this noon
when the big fywheel on the gang
broke and a piece weighing more
than 500 pounds crashed through the
roof of the mill. Charles johnson, an
edgerman, was seriously injured, and
was rushed to the St. Anthony's hos
pital, where it was found that he was
hurt Internally in addition to having
received badly crushed leg. He died
about 1880.
Hans Mosen, who stood within a
few feet of the fywheel received a
bruised arm, but no bones were brok-
en-. Johnson was formerly a police
man in this city.
The mill will be closed to await the
necessary repairs which it is believed
will be made in time to start the
night crew at seven o'clock.

LAKE IRVING ROAD up
Plan Appears to Have Some Boosters
as Well as Some 4:
Knockers" -
SAVE THREE-QUARTERs OF MILE

..5eAu Put me down as opposed to the
road, which the council appear to be
in favor Of, and and which would extend
along the shore Of Lake Irving
through the swamp said Mayor
Mccuaig this morning while speak
ing to Pioneer reporter. MI. Nc
Cuaig states that he believes that If
9 part of the money which the new
road would cost would be used to re-
pair the present roads on either side
OF the lake that the distance would
not be much greater and the city
would not be entirely out of funds
for the next two years. Other local
business men are not posted on the
project and are unable to make any
statements or give an opinion regard
ing the building Of the road.
A report from the County Auditors
Office which was shown this morning
by Deputy Als6p; indicates that the
proposed road would branch off of
the present road short distance
south of the railroad tracks and ex-
tend along the shore of Lake Irving
to a short distance west of the Mis-
sissippi river and from there it would
branch off south and extend along a
line parallel with the proposed coun-
ty road, saving about three-quarter
mile. In speaking of the road Mr.. Al
sop said: ,".
D. ut will never be built, as the cost
would amount to nearly $4,000 and
the amount of work would be i'm
mense as nearly half of the land
which the road would pass through
is deep swamp and would have to
be filled in with solid natter r..
Some action will probably be taken
at the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil and many interested business men
will undoubtedly be present and voice
their opinions, though few are famil-
iar@with the conditions at present. =

commission In that city to oversee the
educational work OF the children, to con-
duct the work of the various playground
associations and the open air educational
work OF the city. The president OF the

made the suggestion, said: I'm Pitts
