AGRICULTURE A NATIONAL
PROBLEM

A sober national thought with
regard to the Importance. the
absolute necessity, of sus-
tained agriculture in this coun-
try Is Imperative. There is,
perhaps, no single solution for
the situation which the farmers
are now facing. but there are
many steps which can be and
should be taken TO place our az
rlculture on more satisfactory
basis and TO stabilize the busl-
ness OF farming, not In the In
teest OF the farmers alone but
In the interest OF the nation as
a whole. The matter is OF such
tremendous Importance to our
entire population that II should
be recognized everywhere as a
national problem and dealt with
as such.--Annual Report OF the
Secretary OF Agriculture.

In choosing a farm one has the op.
tions OF buying with the intention OF
operating the place as his entire bust
ness, buying a small farm and renting
enough additional land to meet his
needs, or renting a farm either on the
share or cash basis. Ones choice in
the matter is usually determined by
the funds available.
II one has only n small amount OF
capital and wishes 10 undertake farm
ing as business from which to de.
rive his entire income, he should, in
nearly all cases, begin as n renter

on which to live, deriving part Of his
income from other sources. then. pos
sibly. purchasing Is desirable, even II
capital is limited.
Whatever course Is followed, II Is
highly desirable that one thoroughly
understand the basic principles gov
ernlng the farm business before de-
Gliding some Of the finer points. A dis
regard OF these basic principles Is re-
sponsible for large proportion OF
farm failures.
A man may unconscIously work all
his life against some economic barrier
when success would have been com
paratlvely easy II he had selected a
farm where the economic principle
would aid him instead of working
against him.

iron pipe set in concrete.
The carrier-tracks are supported
from above by steel posts and plank
girders. They connect the sllage
chutes and the feed bins. All the car
rier-tracks are connected, so that one
silo can be emptied at a time. The
feed-bunks are used for both silage
and grain feeding.
Feeders generally plan to have the
feed-bunks low, as high troughs have
caused sagging backs in steers.-W.

pies should be obtained from reliable
dealers. These should be examined
for adulterants, weed seeds and shriv-
eled seeds. They should also be test
ed for termination before purchasing
in quantity.
In the absence of more accurate
methods an estimate should be made
Of the proportion of true red clover
seed and of weed seeds and other Inn
puritles. From the red clover seed
separated from all impurities, a count
ed number, as 100, should be taken
just as they come. These seeds should
be placed between layers of moistened
cloth or paper or merely covered In

be kept In the living room, at a tenn
perature between 65 and So degrees.
Between the third and sixth days the
sprouting ability Of the seeds should
be shown.
II should be borne In mind that the
sowing value of the seed is represent
ed by the amount of true clover which
viii germinate with reasonable
promptness. Thus, II four-fifths of
sample is pure clover, and only three
fourths will sprout, then only three
fifths, or 60 per cent, of the original
seed as offered will grow. Thus, the
terminating test has an important
bearing on the worth of seed offered
TO the farmer.
Protects American Farmers.
A seed-testing service is maintained
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, where 29,63S samples of
various seeds were examined and
tested in the last fiscal year-16,442 In
Washington and 1896 In the 1--WE
branch seed-testlng stations. Similar
service is offered by the various state
experiment stations. The department
also exercises strict inspection serv-
Ice over field seeds brought from for
eign countries, and last year 100000
pounds OF various seeds were rejected
or held for cleaning before being al
lowed TO be offered to American farm
ers.
II is important that the testing of
seed be done early enough that a suf-
ficient supply Of pure seed can be pur-
chased In time for use; and IL seed Is
to be sent TO one of the government
or state testing laboratories, at least
two weeks should be allowed.
