Many children living in the

the disadvantages of roads made
impossible through lack of

hope to convince yon that many
OF you have held the wrong idea
sbont 1T. Many of yon have the
notion that scientific farming is
opiy possible for the rich or those
who have had the advantage of
technical education in agri-
cnataEe. and because of that no

@hmsenade very little effort to
profit By what has come to your
notice in scientific farming.
To you farmers who have
thongbt this way about the mat
ter, ! want to say that some Of
the most scientific farmers ! ever
knew were men who had very
limited educational advantages;
they were men who thought
about their work, men who rea-
sQned for themselves. men who
kept their eyes open and profted
BY what was going on around
them.
III farmer in q neighborhood
made q success with any crop
such q man would find ont all
about how the ground was pre-
pared for that crop, the kind of
seed and method Of cultivation
and compared with his method.
He would try that out on his
farm and if his results were bet
there was Q bit Of scientific
farming be had learned, and it
is just this way that our fund of
knowledge Of scientific agricul-
ture has been accumulated,
much BY farming ss / have des.
cribed profiting by Others ex-
perience, adopting that which
helped them and avoiding mis-
takes made by neighbora.
Much more has been learned
about scientific agriculture by
the experiment stations which
have men working on all the
problems the farmer has to con-
tend with; they keep working
until they get the facts. The
farmer Of to day can get the
facts; it 10 up to him to take
them and give them practical ap-
plication on his farm. Some
farmers haye learned where to get
the information and how to put
1T to practical use, but too many
have not. They simply have
been trying to farm with the
same methods their fathers used
and they find it q harder propo-
sition every year aud will con.

ing their land poorer and their
crops are smaller and will con-
tinue so.
Conditions are different now.
Their fathers had fertile land
but they reduced it's fertility by
their methods. They did not
notice it much in their time; if
they did they would clear up ad-
ditional land and let that worn
out go; but that day has pass

land to clear. We must build
up and make rich that we have.

There is an abundance Of facts

every phrase of farming, Our
problem is to get this infOrma
tion to the farmers and get them
TO pnt it in practice.
The fault rs not altogether
with the farmers that they are
not getting the benefit that
they should. Some people en-
gagged in agricultural education
al work take it for granted that
all farmers are in position to IN
derstand and put in practice
their teachings when given in
technical terms, simple enough
for those who have technical ed
ucation but almost entirely out
OF the reach of the farmer with
ont education and for that rea-
son most of the efforts Of the
technical teachers OF scientific
agriculture have gone over the
heads of the people intended to
be benefited. There is no good
reason for this. The inforrna.
tod can be given 10 simple,
plain language that any farmer
can understand. Then We can
aid the farmer most by practical
demonstrations provided the
demonstration is along lines that
he can follow; otherwise it is
liable to discourage rather than
encourage the farmer.
Any farmer If asked would say
that the doctor who attends his
family when sick should study
bis profession and they would
not employ him if they did not
.hink he kept posted in bis pro-
fession. They would not EN-.
ploy a lawyer if they did not
think he was skilled in the law.
They would expect the merchant
to fail if he did not understand
his business. and the farmer

enticing one. 1t did not answer his
expectations. however, for the only
perceptible effect it had on "the rela-

Chinese term themselves, was to ex.

said, About what do you wish to talk

room back of the man at the telephone
He had the assurance, therefore. that

"But am Mr.. Caruso," said the man
at the other end of the telephone.

reporter. 1T is just because mutton
head servants like yourself lie like that
that it is impossible to give messages
through you with any satisfaction. Get
off that line and ask Mr.. Caruso to
come to the phone or TIL come up there
and make you into salad dressing"
"But, sir. you must not talk to me
like that. I am Mr.. Caruso himself.

when am trying to do you favor"
"Say," roared the reporter In exas-
peration, "are you so stupid that you
can't understand that | can hear Mr..

you-you spaghetti filed goat?"
"Ah! I see." said the voice. Come

The reporter went up with vast
feeling of triumph. Signor Caruso
opened the door himself, smiling wick
