MANY FARMERS
SHEER AT SCIENCE.

An Unborn antipathy toward "col-

Of the old school. It keeps him away
from the lectures at the Farmers In

denomination trains sent into the
agricultural districts by state and fed
eral departmental; it discourages the
organization Of farmers associations
and boys corn and hog raising clubs.
and It keeps him from sending his
boys to the state agricultural colleges.

Farming. as a science, has been
welcomed grudingly In America. In
many sectionsIt is not recognized at
all. A great majority Of u farmers
till the soil just as their daddies did.
They have not kept step with prog
ress.
AS a result Of their Anticipated mo-
tons and slipshod farming methods
American farms to an excessive de-
gree are worn out, robbed of their
fertility by an endless repetition OF
farm crops, become arid through soil
erosion and wondrously unproductive.
European soils are no better than
those Of America. For centuries
longer they have been under cultiva-
ton and subjected to the natural raw
ags. They too should be showing
some signs of wear andate&r.
Yet European farmers get better
results than Americans.
Take wheat for instance. For the
ten years preceding 1910 the average
annual yields in Europe were: Hun
France 20 bushels, Germany 20 bu-
shells. England SO bushels and Dem
mark 40 bushels.
The average for the United States
was IA bushels.
ONLY RUSSIA is
BEHIND UNITED STATES.
As far al available records show
the only European country We sur
passed was benighted Russia which
averaged about 10 bushels.
Approximately this same ratio of
advantage was shown for the Euro
pean farmer in the production of
other farm products. More scientific
farm methods counted heavily in his
favor but the surmounting reason lay
In the more liberal use Of chemical
fertilizers. He doesn't starvs his
crops.
The European farmers does not de-
pend upon farm manures for the
elimination of all soil evils. He has
learned the lessons of expedient and
scientific fertilizing. He no longer re-
CARDS good crops az . matter OF
chance rather than of scientific appli-
cation.
Too many American farmers do.
And this despite the fact that agri-
cultural experiment stations in every
state are ready and waiting to help
him solve his soil problems. Records
at these stations show the farmer. has
not yet come to appreciate them.

road station In Ohio are posters from

The station experts solicit opportunity

lens. Yet the testing laboratories are
far from being ~overworked. And Ohio
is no exception. :
