FARMING EXPERIENCE
NOT ALWAYS ADEQUATE

The statement that "the farmer
does't need any one to teach him how
to farm" is often directed against the
County Agent movement. In fact,
however, the movement is not based
upon a disregard for the intelligence,
ability or skill of the farmer of today
in those spheres in which he acquires
experience, but just as mother finds
a time when the child's welfare de-
mands the doctors care, so problems
present themselves for which the
most successful farmer finds no solu-
tion in the storehouse of his exper-
ience. Indeed, it it were not so farm
ing would differ from all other acti-
vities, for in no trade, profession or
occupation does the individual de-
pend in all cases upon his own exper-
ience. The question may be asked,
"How many years of practical ex-
perience must farmer have:
1. To know whether protein
comes cheaper in bran at $4,000 per
ton or oil meat at $500?
2. To know whether he should
apply nitrogen or phosphorus, or pot
ash or sulphur or lime to his soil,
separately or in combination, and if
so, in what amounts and what the
cost should be?
3. To be able to identify hog
cholera by host mortem examination
4. To know the life history and
control of the many insect pests and
fungus diseases that are of economic
Importance?
5. To start an egg circle, a COOP
erative stock shipping association, a
public market, a milk shipping as
sociation, ETC.?
s. To stop the spread of a con-
tageous disease, like foot and mouth
disease, hog cholera or sheep scab, or
wage a campaign against jack rab-
bits, ground squirrels or other ro-
dents?
7. To get his neighbors to stand
ardizze the potato crop or apple crop
or some crop so that the community
can market advantageously?
s. To protect his community
against impure seed and adulterated
feed?

word 'blasphemous.'

death of the immortal Lincoln and
six days before the anniversary OF

Col. Joab's voice shook as he

talk.

Theodore Roosevelt is probably better known
than any other man has even been during his life
time.
Napoleon had reputation in his day, but he died
before the modern newspaper, the telegram, and the
photograph had come into use.
The German emperor is man of some promin-
ence, but he lives in the obscurty of divine right.
Theodore Roosevelt we know, as we know the
weather There times when he warns our
hearts and times when he thunders and flashes,
times when he is and others when he blows
hard. He is often long series OF squalls, and then
again life giving as the spring.
There are some who like him all the time. They
adore him constantly for the sake of his variety.
There are others, like Mr. Root, Miss Jane Adj

worth noting.
