WAIT FOR RESULTS.
Texas Farm Il Ranch.

nize it, the great mistake in farm
ing 10 that we expects profits and
large returns for our labor and
too soon. When fields
arc cleared, large crops are expec-
ted the first year; an application
of barnyard MANURE or commercial
fertilizer 10 expected to pay ade-
quats profits in the first crops.
We hesitate to drain low and wet
soils because We are not sure the
first or second crop will bear the
expense; irrigation is expected to
do wonders the first year; terrac-
ing must save the fields at once.
This same principle holds in
buying livestock, in getting equip
men,, building barns, storehouses,
etc. The calculations extend no
farther than a year or two with no
estimate made for series of years
or for permanent improvements.
European farmers make perms-
nent improvements are are salts
fed to get a small profit per year
upon the investment. They bor-
row on 80 or IS years time and do
not hesitate to mortgage under
rural credit laws for the purpose
of buying livestock or for perma-
nent improvements needed Oh the
farm.
Farming has not been consider
cd q permanent occupation In this
country. 1t has been custom
among tenants and even home
owners to till the soil one year,
then if something else seemed pre-
ferabls change t b e occupation.
This idea has prevailed. Many
hesitate to make permanent im-
provements, plant trees, build
barns, secure breeding stock and
prepare for the future.
We should regard the farm as
our source of wealth aud its ferti-
lity as capital in any other enter
prise. So long as the fertility is
maintained so long will there be
profitable crops and livestock.
When the soil 10 allowed to deter
iorats the returns FROM the farm
will likewise fail.
Business Judgment requires that
farmers make investments, just az
men engaged in other business
must make investments. When
investments arc made they should
be required To return small pro-
fit yearly upon the necessary ex-
pense incurred aud in a few years
prove profitable. Farming is not
to be compared with speculation
where enormous gains or perhaps
losses are made in Il very short
while. Farming is conservative
aud If investments are carefully
made returns will be commensu-
ate, provided business judgment
is used. 1t is natures plan to re-
auire time. Considerable time is
required between sowing and reap
ing. Let us not be impatient, but
have confidence in the soil and
make whatever improvements are
