written Specially for The Bulletin.)
A not-any-too- highly esteemed con-
temporary from way out west rises up
to disagree with my remarks about
farming as a gamble. Hear it,
"A witty writer, Ooh, Great CaesarD
who is more superficial than observing,
made the claim recently that farming,
above all lines Of business, was a
gambling industry. He said the far
mer was always betting his crop
against the weather or against the
market. It is true that King Pluvius
and King Drought have a good deal
to say about the farmers crops and
the farmers income, but it is generally
the farmer that confines himself to the
one crop system that ever loses out
seriously in his fight with rain and
drought. If one confined his crop, for
instance, to potatoes or cabbage. or
even wheat or corn, there would be
many a year when weather conditions
would down him. 1t is the man who
spreads his risk over a considerable
number of crops that is generally in
vincible. If, for instance, last year,
the man in the corn belt had relied
entirely on corn, he would have found
a good deal of it frost-bitten and UNI
salable, but the man who had 80 acres
of corn, 50 acres of small grain and 40
acres of hay found that his enormous
crop of hay and small grain easily off
set the depreciation in the quality OF
his corn. Those farmers who go one
step further and make provision for
the feeding of the bulk of their pro-
duce by running live stock are in a
position still more impregnable against
the assaults of misfortune.
'Nosiree, the man who said that
farming is gamble has had no ex-
perience except possibly raising gera-

If that isn't a gamble, what on earth
is? We bet against a hail storm
which we couldn't possibly foresee or
avoid or protect ourselves from,-took
our chances that one wouldn't come or,
if it did, would skip US.
Just. plain, straight betting against
absolute chance. That's what Alden
and both did. The hail hit him and
he lost: it skipped me, thank heaven!
and l didn't lose. But the chances of
were just as good-and just as bad
as those of the other, when we planted
in May. We didn't either one of US
know a burned thing about it!
That was last summer. The year be-
fore, another hail-storm devastated
another strip of country, a little far
Their to the northward. Three years
ago another destroyed all the crops of
half a township to the southwest of
me. Twice, within twenty years, sud-
den July freshets, caused by cloud
bursts on the surrounding mountains,
have plunged down the valley. below
me. coming both times in the night and
without warning, sweeping crops away,
overturning barns, drowning cattle.
There doesn't a week pass in any sum-
mer when one may not read in his
daily paper narrowing accounts of
losses by, similar. storms in different
parts of the country.
Compared with the areas which are
not ravaged, they are of course small,
and their occurrence comparatively
rare.
So is the occurrence of four aces in
a poker hand. But they have been
held and will be again, and the fell
| low that's up against them always
has been and always will be a loser.
When he sits into" poker game he
| just takes his chance of not having to
buck against them. But nobody
| disputes that he's gambler when he
does it.
Nor. is it only the weather, by any
manner, of means, that the farmer has
! to gamble with. There are new worms
and new bugs and new blights all the
time coming at him, or old ones re-
| fusing to get out at his bidding, no
matter how much ."intelligepce and in
dustry" he may apply to the attempted
| orive. There are variations in the
seasons, too, mysterious influences at
work, hiddenly holding back some par
ticular crop, when no Solomon of the
farms or the experiment stations can
discover the why or the how.

grow some half hundred different va
rieties of vegetables for my truck mar
