 Some one asked the famous John Burroughs what was the essential factor in the making of successful farmer. He answered in one of his trenehant Mature Notes:"
 Unless you plant your heart with your corn it will mostly go to suckers unless you strike your own roots into the sub soil of your lands it will not bear fruit in your character-or in your bank ac- count"
 Sometimes one can't help growing . little indignant over the submissive way In which too many farmers accept the snap judgments of less useful citizens on their comparative status in the gen. cral order of things. They are used to heinz called "hayseeds" and "rubes" and to being reminded that the bright chil- Crop arc the ones who go to the city. while the fool of the family stays on ti, farm. If they don't hear such things actually said, they feel them implied at every turn.
