The successful man in any business
or occupation, has definite plan or out
line to work by. He decides in the be-
ginning what line of work he will fol-
low, also what possible division of the
one occupation he will make speciality
of. This is the day of the specialist, a
man who makes study of some par
ticular branch of an occupation, making
this his life work. AS it is true of
medicine, surgery, teaching, and law
it is true of farming. Farming is SO
varied. even under local conditions, that
it may seem as though it would not be
advisable to really specialize in any
branch of 1t However. using the term
specialist in broad sense it can be
applied to farming.
The farmer who has ne definite idea
or plan to work by can very seldom make
much of a success of his work. The
farmer who plants large acreage of
a certain crop one year, because the
selling price may have been unusually
hi Oh that season, then changes to some
other crop the next year will not &c
very far. The chances are that he will
find himself with large acreage of a
crop the year this crop it very cheap.
Extremely high prices one seas On are
not cause enough for an enlarged acre
age of the same crop the next year.
In this connection we must t?ke into
consideration the unnatural and abnor-
NAL condition of the market this year
so far as farm produce is concerned
Times are abnormal at present, what
| the next season will bring no one knows.
| In the writer's estimation, now is the
| time to proceed tutiously with enlarg
ed paintings. Some of the high price:
| of the present are not due so much t.
decreased production as to other I'm
natural conditions.
The particular crop or branch O.
| farming that any farmer makes
specially of should depend on variou
conditions-the adaptibility of the sol
for the crop, the crop most extensivel
grown in his locality, distance from
market and market conditions, tn
amount of labor he can get, etc. Til
average farmer knows what his soil wi
produce the most of, what the market
demand, and the necessary labor t
handle the crop. He should then decid
approximately the acreage he can grow
successfully each year, or if it is liv
stock the breed of cattle or hogs h
wishes to raise After deciding this
the balance of the farm should b
operated with the speciality in view a
all times. If it is crop arrange tn
rotation, application of lime and fertil
ger with the idea of giving the specis
crop the best possible chance. If it
live stock, arrange to grow all tn
necessary feed for the stock that ca
be grown on the farm. After thes
things have been done, it will in mos
cases be wise to grow some other crop
as a supplement to the speciality. Thi
can be arranged for in the rotation
and is usually good plan, for no fam
er, if it can be helped, should Deepen
entirely on one crop or speciality.

DESTROYING Fruit.

While the country is taking up every
conceivable means Of conserving the
food supply. and every iovaI citizen is
apparently doing his or her part let
MS pat forward something that it
seems has not been preached and
which, judging from appearances. no
body is trying TO help. 1t is this The
giving Of protection 80 fruit trees now
in bloom
OF course the blossoms look beautl-
full st this time of the year. and smell
sWeetiv as we'll, but is that reason
enough for robbing the country Of
hundreds OF possibly thousands of
bushels OF fruit to0dstuffF That is
exactly what is being done. Every 8u-
t0moDlie or other vehicle returning
from the country districts can be seen
loaded with the beautiful blossoms
broken from trees somewhere. But
do these blossoms look 50 beautiful or
smell SO aWce1 when accompanied
with the thought that in plucking
them from the trees. instead OF allow
ing them TO remain there to mature
into fruit. that one is taking food from
the mouths Of hundreds Of families
hgHJlng to stsve Oft ztarEation2
Last Sunday alone, if is safe to say
thousands of bushels Of fruit
were destroyed in the vicinity of Rock
Island Think what this must do to
Inc fruit crop Of the entire country II
the same conditions exist elsewhere.
The years yield when compared with
the mouths il must feed is small
enough without everybody who can
get the chance doing their darndest to
diminish the visible supply
II appears that it should be. or
should be made to be, the patriotic
duty OF all citizens 10 do all within
their power to see thar they them
selves nor anybody else do anything
that tends to result in reducing the
Lood supply of the nation. and let 1t
De said that by keeping hands Of as
