.n are only uncovered by actual
' a'a which sometimes is Bit
=, AID costly. You can avoid lots
n,;stakes in life by listening to
l adership. That is why l say
iVoa ,,ader in the country, no mat
NV small or how large his task
he. should be thoroughly e@-
n.ionced in the duties he is sup
.sad to perform, with the first
ss,.br that it should be done with
u, Siscrimination. Poor leadership
.ns poor judgment are the 7uina'
ZION Of progress.
ysar,v every commodity used for
wan and animal consumption IN
Nv. country is over produced. VIII?
..v ,yer produced l mean this.
rrs,n a producer is producing a
.,oduct that he can not make a rea-
s.r,hle profit on, I say that that
rroduct is over produced. l believe
IN vrosress and seeing that every.

10 his needs.
Tals the bean market two years
,,o What did beans bring the
trmer? Nothing but hard luck in
rou cases. Lots of them sold for
x cont. a basket, FOB. What was
N. cause? Over production and
noor quality. A poor quality of any
nroduction is a detriment to any
,oducer. Good young long tender
dark green beans have always
brought a good price in the market.
OF course the prices on quality
Msns we're more or less governed
w supply and demand. One acr,
Of beans well fertilized and
properly taken car of on the right
kind Of land, is worth 10 acres poor
" tertilized, poorly cultivated and
planted on some sand hill which
wouldn't sprout cow peas. All you
,t from this class of beans is what
are known generally as Fish
Hooks You cannot give this class
Of beans away on any northern
market. At the same TIME, it costs
much to harvest and put this
class Of products on a northern
market as it does a high grade first
class basket Of beans. My expert.
tnes with beans is that they grow
best on a dark loan soil, well drain
I'd with plenty Of humus in the
soil 10 hold moisture in case Of dr.
weather. Lespedeza turned under
in the fall, followed by a good win
ter cover crop such as rye or any
sood winter green will improve the
land greatly and help hold moisture
next summer. But all green vegeta-
ton should be we'll decayed before
planting is started.
The thought of good and inferior
quality will apply to any product.
RENDER this, that any inferior pro-
duct put on any market is only a
drawback and a detriment to the
producer.
The only way to make a success
OF farming is to plant q few acres
Of each commodity which you want
10 use as a money crop and give it
the best Of attention and study your
ground.
First find out what kind OF ground
and fertilizer are best adopted for
mat article which you want to raise
on it.
