unknown proportion of my crops, hope | every spring sang the same fattering tale That coming year was to be better than any of the past Every crop was going to be a bouncer, and every plat was to do as well as every other plat if not a little better.
 To be sure, it never actually turned out that way. Stepmother Nature saw to it that I got about my usual birchings and bludgeonings. But as soon as the sore ness wore off, hope always took charge again.

 bureau. That is to say, they hit about as
 often as they miss, and miss about as 1 often as they hit.
 And yet, neither we farmers nor the
 world we feed could get along without it. But for its melting spur we should rare ly have the courage to take up, spring

 usually the hope that we will do better
 this year than last which nerves us to the
