Fear. TO Be Forward.

Dear Mios FairfaI.-Some time Saso
met a young man whom ! cared for,
but would never tell him so when he
asked me. Il seemed as though he
cared FOR me also: in fact he even
told me SO. One day he made an ap-
pointment which he did not keep.
Later he gave me an excuse which
L accepted Since then he stopped
calling on me. T tried TO forrct him
but find that I am always thinking
or him. ! would like TO regain his
friendship without being too forward.

yourself TO think too much about this
young man. Unless chance throws you

course Is to forget him

Attention Turned to Tractor
Lord Lee it was who suggested the tractor
scheme for breaking up the soil of farms then
suffering from the shortage in horses go per
cent of farm horses were in the army and for
blowing up the grass lands of the big estates.
Ii was in the minds of all those men connected
with the food production department to make
1913 the banner crop year in Englands hiH"rE'
Originally it was planned to adopt small
tractor as a standard and turn them out by the
thousand IN British factories standardized. Some
COCO would be needed TO do the job thoroughly,
it was thought. Sudden urgent dewands on the
factories for increased supplies of munitions
caused the abandonment of the first plan, and
the next step was to order the first shipment Of
small tractors from America.
Weeks and months were lost testing out the
initial lot of machines and them after desirable
model had been developed, came the terrible win
ter of 1918 in America tying up railroad trans
portaton and preventing the shipment of ma
chimes that should have been at that very moment
engaged in turning the soil Of some ducal
estate perhaps.
Actual shipment of 1000 tractors was made in
America. No more reached England in time to
be of service in preparing for the 1913 crop. So
every possible kind of mechanical power
modified to haul plows. Some giant machines
built for hauling heavy artillery in Russia were
trunded out to The English fields and performed
excellent service.
Ancient sets of "stean tackle" were inspected,
quickly repaired and put 10 work. Sometimes
two engines are used on a field, one at each end
of the furrow. The idea is TO keep the heavy
weight of the engine off the ground that is TO
be put under cultivation for the reason that past
experience had shown, the engines weight acted
as a press on certain kinds Of chalky, sticky
English soil, causing the pillow to turn up large
solid square chunks of earth that were absolute
fixtures in the field week on end. These chunks,
when struck by sledge hammer, gave forth
duh kind of thud and the hammer left small
indentatiOn.
Sometimes in the dry days of May usually,
one month after the planting season is over, the
chunks automatically crumbIe overnight, leaving
a perfectly level field that has apparently been
cultivated into dust.
The steam tackles" worked all fall and winter
making ready for the 1918 crop and, all told.
plowed up million and quarter acres of soil.
The tractors, that is the gasoline rigs, small and
large, powed up something like a million acres
last year.
Approximately two-thirds of the land in Eng
land is held in the big parks and estates. 1t is
in the remaining third that the marvels of
food production were accomplished

home land with the aid of the older men, the boys
thousands of women educated and brought up TO
city life, and above all other things with tractors
The situation was saved. But the lesson of I'M
productive farm lands has been learned Hence
forth there will be department of food production
In the British government charged with the duty
Of maintaining and without doubt lettering the
wartime crop record record of which England is
Justly proud because, in the midst of a period
where the services of every hand needed in
muntion making. the country went from "l2
weeks food production" era TO point where the
land of England was producing enough food 10
last 40 weeks. Sir Charles Fielding the director
of food production, believes that eventually,
possibly sooner than the world expects, England
will be harvesting enough food to last through
every of the 50 weeks in the year barring
perhaps some additional cattle food that will be
needed when the British herds are increased to
100000 head the number that will be required to
properly supply the population with milk.
Back in 1914 the English We're importing four
dfthS of all cereals consumed and onehalf of the
meat supply. The new program will certainly put
1914 into the place it deserves-the low-water
mark in English farming.
Will Guarantee Prices to Farmers
Success with the national after the war farm
scheme" depends largely on what kind of price
guarantee the government will be willing to give
the farmer for his principal crops. The depart
ment OF food production has 1t in mind TO ask Tor
certain fixed prices that will run through term
of at least ten years 1t is believed that at least
q decade will be required to firmly establish the
new era, and in the meantime give the farmer a
fair deal.
1.-THE farmer is not greedy" Sir Charles Fielding,
himself farmer declared the other day. 1--WE
must remember the farmer has his living to make
and he has right to reasonable security, and TO
the assurance that he will get fair return for his
work and his expenditure I believe that the i'm
portance of agriculture is being realized in this
country at last. If it had been realized in the first
year of the war we should never have known such
perilous times as those through which have
passed But we got through somehow and the
prospects are better now"
Sir Charles is constantly pointing out that big
crop production here in England is going to be
one of the factors in settling the nations debt
He has warned that England must not go
back to her old ways and spend three hundred
millions year for imported food. Our exports
would have to pay for that food before they paid
for anything else, and it would be an utterly I'M
necessary expenditure. The food is here in our
own country, only waiting to be taken out of the
soil"

UNSAFE SOURCES OF

Hints on Ice Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart

Streams, ponds, irrigation bitches
and small open reservoirs are unsatis-
factory and unsafe sources of farm
water supply. The subject is consid-
cred in Farmers Bulletin 941, Water
Systems for Farm Homes" recently
issued by the United States department
of agriculture.
The temperature of such water sell
dom is satisfactory. and the presence
of more or less polluting matter is GER
tain. Often the carcasseS of farm ami
mails are found therein. In thousands
of cases the domestic supply is taken
directly from irrigation bitches. In
other instances cistern, often without
a filter, Is filed AT such times as the
ditch water runs cleareSt. Often open
reservoirs are necessary to collect and
store rainfall for the use of stock. and
occasionally they are used as sources
Of domestic water and ice supplies.
Cnder favorable conditions, where
the basin is large and deep 40 feet or
more), the bottom free of mud. muck,
or other organic matter, the surround
ings clean, and the circulation good,
the quality of surface water may i'm
prove by long storage. However, these
conditions are seldom realized on the
farm, and the amount Of Improvement
or publication is never certain.
The only safe course is to avoid
drinking water from any surface source
unless such water has been purified
by filtration or sterilized by boiling or
by chemicals. Prudence dictates. also,
that ice gathered from shallow, I'M

PRICES NOT CUT BY

Abnormal Conditions Created by War

Special Relationship of Prices
and Value.

prepared by The United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
II is often said that when the farm
or has bumper crop the price is so
low that the total value of the crop
is below that of usual crop, but the
abnormal conditions created by the
war and other causes have imposed n
special relationship of crop prices and
total value to the production Of 1913
in comparison with 1917
In the estimates of the bureau of
crop estimates ii appears that larger
production has been followed by low
er price and lower total value only
for barley, cabbage, onions, and broom
corn, while larger production has been
followed by higher price and hence
by higher total value for wheat, buck
wheat, fiaxseed, rice. sweet potatoes,
tobacco, apples, oranges, and cram
berries.
As is often the fact. lower produc-
ton is associated with higher price
and higher total value for oats, hay,
sugar beets, peaches, and sorghum
raised for strip, but exceptions to this
relationship are found in potatoes and
hops, both of which had lower pro-
ductiOn and lower price.
Rye, cotton, the kafirs and peanuts,
had higher production in 1918 than
in 1917 and lower price but not low
enough to prevent higher total crop
value: whereas these conditions were
reversed for corn and beans, both of
which had smaller crops and higher
prices, but not high enough TO prevent
a lower total crop value.
