CWrftten Specially for The Bulletin.1
 One of the conmonest queries from farmers especially younger and less experienced ones, is How can I raise'' this, that or the other crop.
 Such inquiries are addressed to ev- cry farm paper in the land, at least once a day, and quite often to in dividual farmers who are known to have made something of a success at the crop questioned about.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-05-06

To ask for that sort of help in that sort of way seems the most natural and reasonable thing in the world.
 I want to raise potatoes, say. I have never grown any, except the few for home use, and have never had specially good luck with those few. Now I am planning to put in a goodly acreage and I want to treat the crop so as to get my money back and some profit. What more natural than that should go to one of the neighbors who has made money growing pota- toes for market and ask him what l should do to make a good crop Or, what more natural than that I should write to my favorite farm paper for the same information, hoping that some of it's readers who had won out would steer me into the same success he has achieved?

 That you must know what the dis ease is before you give medicine.
 That you must fit your treatment to the immediate case in hand.
 That you must choose your soil and your seed and your fertilizers and your methods of planting and milling and cultivating to meet your own special conditions and needs,-not mine nor any one elses.1n other words, that you have got to work out your own salvation in your own way, just as truly as you'll go to the devil ir your own way, if you see fit to choose that direction.
