SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
Farmer Should have Advantage Of
Technical School the Same as
Lawyers Law School.

Formerly scientific agriculture
was supposed to be a theoretical
study taught by bunch of spectacle
ed professors who did most of their
farming on paper.
No farming of that type could be
called scientific. Scientific means
according to true knowledge, and
all knowledge is based on actual
human experience. Theories of agri-
culture that have not been put to
the test on actual farms, under just
such conditions as the average farm
er has to meet, are no good at all.
This is perfectly understood by the
agricultural experts, who almost in
variably are practical men. -
Scientific agriculture experiments
should be carried out under average
conditions. An experiment station
farm should never be a merely eX-
hibition farm. 1t should not be To-
Gated on some extra fertile tract, on
which crops are sure to prosper even
under adverse conditions. 1t should
be placed on average soils, where
just the same difficulties will have
to be met that the average farmer
has to confront. And no doubt in
most cases this is done. r.
Most of the farmers around De-
corah do the best they can to apply
the principles communicated by the
scientists. They are greatly helped
by the newspapers, which all favor
scientific methods and popularize
them so far as possible. ." N
The difficulty encountered by the
average farmer is simply that he is
so burdened by the cares and
labors of his calling, that he hasn't
time to study agricultural science
as he would like to. $50 ..r =
The time will come when it will
be considered as necessary for a
farmer to have the advantage in
youth of competent technical school
instruction in agriculture, as for a
lawyer to attend law school. That
is no doubt impossible for the present
gentration, which is endeavoring to
pick up the lessons of science as
rapidly as possible under existing
difficulties. Ht%

THE IRRESPONSIBLE SPIRIT.
Needless Waste Practiced by Some
Should be stopped.

r." There are always lot of people
who refuse to take their part in the
measures necessary for the benefit OF
the community You can see ex-
amples of it every day.
For instance, a, driven with a
heavily loaded truck pulled into De-
corah from somewhere the other
day, stopped his machine, and pro-
ceeded to deliver his stuff. It took
him something over half an hour.
All that time he left his motor rum
ming. That motor was needlessly
wasting gasoline every minute, of
his stay. 1<N%' II,
If the driver noticed it, he prob
ably argued that the gallon or two
he might be throwing away would
be worth but rs or so cents and
that his employer would never feel
or know the difference.
Perhaps he was one of the men
who complain about the unsatis-
factory wages they earn. If so, one
reason for the same is the wasteful
habit of so many workers who never
consider the interest of their en-
ployer, or the necessity of CO.
operation in community measures of
economy.
And so it goes in all the policies
that ought to be adopted for public
benefit. A man may think the few
cents worth of gasoline he wastes
are not enough to amount to any
thing. But If everyone wastes in the
same spirit, the supply is depleted,
the price is advanced, and an added
item added to the costs OF everyone
who does business. So it is in the
waste of paper stock, food and fuel
supplies, and everything else the
community needs, but finds scarce
and high.
Whatever one does, he should ask
himself the question, what would
be the effect on the community If
everyone did the same Not until he
has himself checked every item OF
waste in his own work and diving
can he consistently complain at the
scarcity and high cost OF the es'
sentials of existence.

Manager of Malvern Light and Power
Company Pulls the Wrong
'9 - Switch %~@",

Thrnman, LAB. E. Burson, mana
ger. of the. Thurman branch Of the
Malvern Light and Power Company,
barely escaped being killed near
here while trying to locate the cause
of the winking out of the lights.
In company of R. S. Hubbard and
Meredith Killen, Burson/ went to
the transformer six miles east Of
town to ascertain If the trouble was
not located there. Burson and Kill
len assembled to the platform when
Burson threw switch. Instantly
there was binding fash and Bur-
son was thrown from the platform
to the ground, a distance of twelve
feet.
The other two men examined Bur-
son and although they believed that
be had been instantly killed they
began artificial respiration and after
time found there was life in the
mans body. He was brought to
town and given medical attention.
1t was found that in addition to
the severe shock and injury from
falling, he was terribly burned on
the feet and arms. 1t is believed,
however, that he will recover, It
is now thought he opened the wrong
switch. The wire opened carries 49,
900 volts of electric current.

LET ME SEE YOU DRIVE.
And III Tell You What You Are. We
All Drive Now.

A long time has passed since the
! ownership of a motor car was an evil
dence of wealth. .-l ,....
We all drive now. ..-
Not merely bankers head walters,
and master plumbers. Even editors
drive cars. ..t
If driving is to continue to be safe
and enjoyable for all of us, it must
be made so by a tremendous exercise
! of courtesy on the part of every one.
Let me set down here some obser-
vations founded not on police law,
but on commonsense plus courtesy.
| FIRST: However u1flattering it
may be to the rest of humanity,
know of no better rule than always
to assume that the other fellow is a
! bigger fool than you are.
Assume that he is going to turn the
next corner without giving any signal.
Assume that his wife, who is with
him, may at any moment take. fan.
, cy TO a wild rose at the edge of the
road and have the car brought to an
abrupt stop.
/ Assume when you turn a cCrne;
that he will be coming around from
the other way, too fast and on the
wrong side OF the road.
IN a word keep sufficient distance
between his car and yours so that
nothing he can POSSIBLY do can in
volve you in trouble.
SECOND: A horn can be either the
voice of salvation or an instrument of
torture according to how it is used.
The courteous driver can make his
horn say either please be careful"
or Curse you, Charles Montague get
off the road" His horn never says
one when it should say the other.
! THIRD: The courteous driver stays
just as close to the edge of his side of
the road as it is possible for him to
get. He never feels called upon to
assert his dignity or to maintain his
rights by edging as far out as he can.
He knows that the middle OF the
road belongs to no man. 4.,4 .
FOURTH: The courteous driver
never uses his binding searchlights
except on a road entirely unlighted;
and he turns them down at the first
sight of al approaching car.
FIFTH: The courteous driver rec
ognizes that pedestrians and horse We
hicles have rights as we'll as he. He
members-however irritating. they
may occasionally be-that, after all
the road belonged to them for years
before it belonged to the motor car.
1t is the law of the sea that the
sailboat must give way to the row
boat. The power boat must look out
for the sail. Always the stronger
must give way to the weak.
What is law for the sea ought to be
the self imposed and cheerfully &C
copied etiquette OF the road.
FINALLY: The courteous driver
and his wife-Inake up their minds at
what rate they like to travel best and
they JOY along happily at that rate,
enjoying the view u1troubled and un-
troubling.
If the occupants of another car
desires to travel faster they let them
pass. They never race; never put on
full speed when they hear horn
sounded behind them. ... ~.
Never, under any circumstances do
they push ahead of car il front by
invoking a burst of speed and then
slow up so that their dust spreads ov-
er the car behind.
In all the category of meanness
there is no meaner trick than passing
a car and then slowing down.
Let me see you drive and I'll. tell
you what you are.
