NOVICE farmer
is DOOMED FOR
SURE failure
Romantic Days of Settle
ment Gone in This Pro-
gresSlVe Year.
BY H. d. Meredith

United Press staff Correspondent
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 81. - The
day Of romance when the tenderfoot
could venture westward to carve a
new family fortune from unsettled
lands is gone.
Brush knives and grub hoes are
thing of the past. The settler who
made the great west is now no more.
Agricultural conditions today for
bid the shoe clerk and underpaid
school teacher from the cities try
ing to exc out an existence from
a plat of underbrush claimed from
government lands. Failure of the
poor inexperienced settler have
proven that farming is now a pro-
fession and crop production a
science.
Inexperienced Farming
Curtis L. Mosher, governor of the
ninth district Federal Reserve Bank,
today told the United Press the
greatest crime ever committed
against agriculture was the settle
ment of practically worthless gov
eminent lands by BARRIERS, musicians,
wrestlers. sailors, paper hangers and
others who did not know the first
principles Of agriculture.
In an area Of Montana where
farm failures were greatest, it was
found that 81 per cent Of those who
went on the land were without pre-
vious farming experience and 30 per
cent had no capital" he said.
Among them We're men from sixty.
three occupations other than farm
Ing.
From that same area last year
came a shipment of wheat to Min
neapolis which contained the highest
percentage of protein on record.
This wheat brought a premium of
60 cents a bushel on the Minneapolis
market It was grown by an ex
perienced farmer. He got $3.50 a
bushel net for his wheat.
There is just as much folly in
sending an inexperienced man to the
farm as there is in putting an mex
perienced man on a die-cutting ma
chine. Either will fail.
Still Land to BE Cleared
"Of course there is still a great
deal of land to be cleared in the
northwest. There must always be
that development. But conditions
have changed.
Il know OF no section OF the
United States today where good agri-
cultural land is available to the ex.
perienced and competent farmer on a
better basis than in Minnesota. the
Dakotas and the agricultural sec.
ton Of Montana"
The great trouble today is that
there are not enough experienced
farmers, Mosher said. Agricultural
schools and colleges are turning out
highly trained agrarians, but only a
small percentage of these educated
farmers ever till the soil.
Most Of them become county
agents experts OF some kind. or
agricultural advisers. Mosher him
self is one. and his most valued as
sistant is another.

Drink Water With Meals
 Is Advice of Medical Men

Chicago, June 27 R--Drink water with meals and abstain from food during emotional excitement and nervous states, advised Dr. A. c. Ivy, University of Chicago physiologist, speaking before members of the American Child Health association.
 Gastric juice flows into the stom- ach merely at the stimulation of the sight, smell and taste of food" he said. If a human being sees unap- petizing food, or if he is in a nervous or excited state his secretive appar- atus does not function. It is there fore unhealthy to eat under those conditions"
 Drinking water produces more complete digestion stimulation for the gastric glands and permits more complete absorption into the blood stream, he pointed out.
