FARM MANAGEMENT.
Agriculture Should Be Handled as
the Merchant Handles a Store.
BY ANDREW BOSS,

BY ANDREW BOSS,
Chiet Of agronomy and farm management
| ton, sta
farm management in its best inter
probation, means the application of
progressive, scientific and business
principles to the business Of farming.
The farm manager holds the same
relation to the farm and its business
as does the business manager Of the
store or other business enterprise-that
Is he is the one responsible for the
success or failure of the enterprise
from the financial point Of view: there
fore he must know every detail Of
crop growth. Of cost of production. of
marketing, Of operating and Of all
business transactions performed in CON
nection with the farm.
Farming is a business. and the one
VINO can grow the largest crops of
the best quality and at the same time
produce them at the lowest cost. sell
them at the highest price and make the
best investment Of the money received
should rank as the best manager.
While farming has not commonly been
regarded as a business. the fact re-
mains that the successful financial
operation of a farm presents even a
more complex problem and involves at
least as much business ability and tact
as are required in operating a store.

QUALITY OF THE FARM BUsl-
NESS.

The farmer may have sufficient
area and grow the right kind of
crops, yet not be successful, ow-
ing to the poor quality Of his en-
tire business. Poor crops that do
not pay the cost Of production
and the feeding Of these to I'M
4 productive live stock are com
mon causes OF failure. This
{ characteristic Of unsuccessful
farming attracts much public at
tenti0n, Such farms are I'M
profitable largely through igno-
rance or Indifference on the part
Of the operator. Under good
management they can generally
be made successful
The improper organization Of
large farm limits its posslbili-
ties, just as area limits the small
farm. Single crops or single live
stock enterprises seldom utilize
farm labor to its maximum. BY
having several crops there IS not
only better distribution OF labor.
but the chances Of total loss
from crop failures are lessened.
Fortunately. corn. oats and
wheat utilize the farmers time
pretty thoroughly through the
growing season. In some parts
Of this country certain crops that
need labor only a part OF the
year may be so profitable that
the farmer can afford to be idle
the rest Of the year. However,
these are the exceptions Most
crops are not profitable enough
to permit any such practice. Idle
horses and machinery are nearly
as expensive as idle men. II the 3
working equipment can all be
kept busy on paying enterprises
success is almost assured.

IMPORTANCE OF ANTWERP.
Germany Has Ring of Steel Around
Her Main Operation.

\bOnIOll IEduSCE1pt.
1t 10 az clear as anything concern
ing the war car possibly be that
Antwerp is Germany's main objective
and has been from the very start.
She is carrying out her policy Of es-
tablishing a ring OF steel around her
main operation. The lines which eX-
tend from Metz to Lille, and We do
not know how much farther, are an
effective screen. Within that screen,
so long as it holds. she can do very
much as n pleases. She is proceed
ing to turn Belgium into German ter
ritory as calmly as though it were
Alsace-Lorraine.
Anyone who will take the trouble
to look at a map of Europe will see
the reasons. Antwerp is one Of the
three or four greatest shipping ports
In the world. Eastern Belgium, when
it becomes German territory, will
give complete control Of the railway
lines between that port and the rest
of Germany. Germany will then be
on three sides of Holland. which her
publicists, especially those who were
in special favor with the kaiser, like
the late Prof. Won Halle. have openly
stated should belong to Germany. 1t
will then be only a question of time
until Holland and the mouths of the
German Rhine" will become a part

Again, let him look at southeastern
Europe. A union with Austria to
control the Balkan states and Asia
Minor would give her an all-rail
route from the North Sea ports, by
way Of her Bagdad railway, to- the
Persian gulf. Even the English navy
could then hardly cut her communi-
cation with the east.

mere revenge or military glory. He

what is now being DONE. I submit
that these considerations are very
much more weighty than official
statements, which are not made, by
the way, for the purpose Of revealing
real plans.
A few other conclusions follow
from this line Of reasoning. The real
fighting men, from the generals down,
may have been disappointed when
Belgium refused free passage. The
real rulers would have been disap-
pointed If she had granted it. They
then would have found it difficult to
frame an excuse for taking Antwerp
and annexing Belgium.
