FARMING A BIG JOB
OR
THE MAKEUP OF THE SUC-
CESSFUL FARMER

BY +. ]. Fleming, .........
Instructor Vocational Agricul-
ture, Abilene High School

In the present day the successful
farmer must be proficient In many
lines Of endeavor. He must have
strength and endurance. He must
be skillful. He should be a machin-
list or a mechanic. He ought to be
a veterinarian. He needs much
knowledge OF science. He must be a
business man. He should be a lover
OF nature. And he should be alert
to his responsibility as a citizen.
One who does not have strength
and endurance cannot ''do the
heavy, as 1t Is commonly expressed
He cannot pitch alfalfa. or scoop
grain all day, milk the cows, and
harness and unharness the horses
morning and evening. He cannot
break the horse to drive. In short.
he cannot withstand the work the
rugged and successful farmer does.
Skill In the operations or work Of
the farm Is acquired only on the
farm. You have heard of the city
boy who could drive a horse ION low"
as he expressed It, and was anxious
to learn to ride ION high. He was
about as apt student as his language
would indicate. II Is a simple thing |
to hitch and drive one horse or a |
team. but the writer has seen the
hopeless failure of attempts to learn
no Improvement In three months
time. The same hopeless attempts
to gain proficiency with the pitch
fork have been observed. Skill in
farm work comes with continued
practice. such as comes to one reared
on the farm.
1t Is only necessary to take a short
drive through the country and see the
wornout and discarded machinery In
the fence corners and back of the
buildings to convince one that n
farmer should be mechanic He
should at least be able to do the
simple repair work. Furthermore,
this Is an age Of machinery farming.
Farms are equipped with engines,
binders, ensilage cutters ana
threshers. With thousands of dol
lars invested In machinery It Is only :.
reasonable to assume that the opera :.
tor or purchaser should have knowl-
edge Of mechanics.
The average farm also has a large ..
Investment in livestock, such as !
lorses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poul- :
ry. 1t Is important. therefore, that :
he farmer at least know something
bout diseases of livestock. He ;,
'hould especially be familiar with r
he infectious and contagious dis y
ases and their control. He should u
lso be able to use effectively every =
ay remedies for common diseases. !"
n brief, the farmer should be a vet. =, ~
rinarian. u
The knowledge OF the sciences Is =. :,
very important factor, moreover ~ ~
the make Of the successful farm a.
:. A knowledge of chemistry has a ~ ~
rge application in the management a. a,
soils and feeding. Physics also ~

HAS BIGGEST VALUATION.
Woodbine Smallest City in County
But Richest,

l
The correspondent for the Refiec.
tor at WOodbine sends In the follow
ing boost for the town, the smallest
In the county but the highest in val
uation per capita:
! According to the deputy assess
ors' report 1t was found that the city
OF Woodbine had population Of 249,
which makes 1t the smallest city in
the county. 1t was also found that
the valuation of WoOdbine was
$415,S7O; this makes the greatest
valuation per capita OF any city in
the county, with a valuation Of ST.
$40. Manchester is the next to the
smallest city and has a valuation
per person Of only $1.123. The per
capita valuations Of the other cities
are as follows:
Solomon. 1901; Hope $1,O21; Her
ington $51s; Enterprise, $1,000;
Chapman SLIT; Abilene $1,2O1.
The report also shows that the
township Liberty, in which Wood
bine Is located, is second in yalua-
tion Of the "a townships in the coun-
ty, and the one that is first, Grant,
Is nearly all river bottom land where
rs most Of the land here is upland. {
Liberty township has a population of
i73 persons and the assessed valua-
ion Is $2,294, 1892, making a little Y
more than $4,S50 to each person.
n valuation per capita 1t Is exceed
"a only by Lincoln township, with
IN average per capita Of $5,242. :
1t is a record Of which the COM J
nunity may be proud. q

DRIVE TO PLACE WAR MEDALS.
Legion to Aid War Department In the
Distribution.

The war department has asked the
cooperation and assistance of the
American Legion In speeding up the
distribution Of the Victory medal and
has issued telegraphic instructions to
all recruiting officers to supply legion
posts with Victory medal aplpica-
tion blanks.
A nation wide campaign is to be
launched by the legion to get one Of
these medals into the hands Of every
ex-service man with as little delay as
possible. The government began the
distribution Of the medals June 21
and since that time only a few thou
sand have been applied for and sent
out. whereas preparations had been
made to take care Of thirty thousand
applications a day. Legion posts, It
Is said. will be prepared to help, not
only all members of the legion, but
all ex-service men to fill out prop
eriy application blanks and will fol-
low them up until the men get the
medals.

plants, and In the planning of con.
trivances for various uses. The
knowledge of physics Is of value
every day on the farm.
Farming In the twentieth century
Is business and the successful
farmer must be business man. For
merly the farmer produced the var
ious home necessities. What was
not needed for home consumption
was traded to their neighbors. so
there was little buying or selling.
Now the necessities of the home are
largely purchased aud the crops and
livestock are produced to market.
Making money now is largely the
object Of farming where formerly II
was to produce a living on the
farm. Therefore the farmer must
compete with business men who are
specialists In their line, while the
farmer ordinarily Is handling various
lines n farmer is good sales
man and good purchasing agent,
he usually makes the farm pay
reasonable profit.
The farmer who Is successful
should furthermore he lover Of ma
ture His work and his home life
are close to nature. His growing
crops. herds of cattle. or swine
should interest him and he should
recognize them and know their hab-
Its. He should learn the signs OF
the weather by observation and study
and be able to forecast the wealth
or with reasonable accuracy. The !
farmers success Is so dependent upon
the minute organism Of nature-in-
'ects. germs. fungus and bacteria I
hat IL he Is not lover OF nature he
Usually overlooks their Importance.
Finally. the farmer should feel r
his responsibility of citizenship. He J
should be interested In having a
beautiful and comfortable home. He
hould do his best to advance ednca-
ion In the community. He should :
end aid to any measures for the
improvement of agricultural condi-
ions. In fact he should aid by his J.
influence and ballot all measures for
,ood government.
There are many more things about
he education and training of the y
uccessful farmer that I would like T
0 call to your attention. would
Ike to tell you more about the busi-
ess OF farming and the training H

REPORT OPTIMISTIC.
But Trade and Industry Is Quiet
Now Reserve Bank Reports.

Now Reserve Bank Reports.
Although many lines of trade an
industry are experiencing somethin
of midsummer quiet and gener,
slowing down, the monthly report q
the Tenth Federal Reserve Bank 4
optimistic as to the future becaus
OF splendid crops throughout the dis
trict.
I'm the face Of the slowing dow,
'of trade and industry, reflected b,
reports covering June operations, ;
the report says, there is a feelina
IN this part Of the United States al
least, that the good crops now in
sight are bound to make business
good this fall.
Intensive effort Is being centered
on the harvesting Of grain which,
under excellent growing and ripen-
ing conditions in June and July, is
showig yields much larger than was
forecast by previous reports and
making 1920 one of the best crop
years in history.
1T is pointed out that while the
POLITICAL campaign may disturb bus
mess to some extent, and that the
public is becoming more and more
conservative In the making Of pur-
chases and investments, reports in
dictate that conditions are generally |
good and such as to insure healthy !
business In the fall and winter.
There are evidences to show that |
production in many of the commod-
ity lines Is increasing, and there Is /
"a reported tendency toward price re-
Adjustments Of prices on
lower levels, however, is coming
slowly for the reason that dealers
assert that their stocks on hand are
high cost goods and whatever sales
are made at materially reduced prices
are made at their expense. Caution
on the part Of wholesalers in buying
from manufacturers, and of retailers
buying from wholesalers, as now pre- /
Waiting to a considerable extent, is ex.
pected to help some In the final So
luton Of the problem Of lowering
prices.
"The car situation shows some
as is evidenced by the
large movement Of grain to the
markets in June, but the feeling con-
the ability Of the railroads
to handle the situation this fall is
one Of uncertainty and is causing un
easiness.
"The large demand for money for
productive enterprises and crop
which has featured the
financial situation during the first
half Of 1920, continues. However,
the volume Of loans by the Federal
Reserve Bank remains at about the
same status as a month ago. There
have been no recent changes Of rates
except that the ratios on notes Sc
cured by U. 8. Certificates Of Indebt-
einess has been increased from five
per cent to the amount of interest
borne by the certificates themselves.
Country banks are borrowing for I
crop moving purposes while banks II
located In the reserve centers OF the 4
district are slightly reducing their
loans" The number Of commercial
failures In the district as shown by
Dun's Review and printed in the re-
port, shows only nine for June, 1920, =
rs compared with twenty-five In the
same month last year. IL
