SCIENCE ON FARM
AgricuIturist Of Today Must

Canadian TlIlers Of the Soil Have
Proved That Old Days Of Hap

Agriculture In Canada has the sta

standard Of operation and the prime
place 1t occupies In national life justi-
fy The days when land was casually
filed on and farmed without any In
telligent understanding of agricultural
processes are going with the dwindllng
availability of the land. and rapidly
passing is the epoch of the destruc-
ton Of soil values, and the abandon
ment of farms which have been rem
dered unproductive. Clearer and clear
er has become the realization that
farming is a specialized profession re-
curling special training, and In the
place of this spoliation there is an
intelligent system Of crop rotation.
preservation of the virtue Of the land,
a discovery of the nobility of the
farmers calling and a determination
to secure and achieve the best pos
sible In everything.
The Education Of the Farmer.
Agricultural colleges, experimental
farms, government literature, railway
propaganda, all in an appreciation Of
the national benefits which accrue,
contribute to the education Of the
farmer who. If he starts out In Igno-
rance. speedily discovers the futiIity
and profltiessness Of continuing In
this state. 1t is only of comparatively
recent years that farming in Canada
has become the comprehensive and ex-
haustIve study 1t is and its tenets
been so widely, absorbed, and older
farmers who have followed haphazard
methods or systems scientifically un.

A census Of Canadian farmers would
probably show that fully one-half are

none would criticize Canada's farmers

the farmers who have achieved the

farming competitions have not been
lifelong farmers, but city men who.

REALIZING AND SELLING CAUSED
 SLUMP IN STAPLE
AsaooIntnd Prn.a

New fork, September 13.-Early advances were followed by declines in the cotton market today because of realizing and scattered selling supposedly for southen account. De- oember contracts broke from 22.2Sc to 21.S0c and closed at that level The general market closed easy, Is to
 24 points nett lower.
 The market opened from 13 to 23
 points higher, on relatively firm cables, reports that traders in Liver
 pool were scaling down their ideas
 of the crop. and overnight reports
 of steadier spot basis In the south
 west. There was scattered southern
 selling and considerable realizing
 but the early offerings were will ab-
 sorbed with the market working about 25 to 30 points net higher dur ing the middle of the morning. Jan- uary sold up to 22.13c and October to 21.9Sc making recoveries of 145
 to 250 points from the low price
 reached on the reactions of last week.
 More realizing was attracted at these figures while there also ap- peared to be a little more southern selling later and 1t was believed that some of yesterdays larger buyers were liQuidating. October sold off to 21.52o and January to 21.62c or about
 4s to 50 points from the best and
 the close was at tho lowest of the day.
 A private crop report was issued making tho mid-month condition 6s.s and the indicated yield 10,2s2,O00 bales. which was a little more fav- orable than the report of the previous day, although 1t showed a very sub stantial deterioration for the first half of the month.
 The weekly report of the weather bureau was bullish. but evidently had been discounted. Private cables from Liverpool attributed the advance to
 better trade demand and unfavora- ble crop reports. Exports today were
 150 bales, making 2S6,S00 so far this season. Port receipts 21,03o, U. s. port stocks 4S2,612
