It does not take an old man at all to remeijiber when a two horse plow was so rare in the coun ty that those owning the few that, were to be found were look ;d on ns rather cranky ntid ns being very sure ot doing the things to his land that was bound to ruin it forever. We can all remember the first vel vet beans that were grown in the county. .Most of us can remember the first pure bred lings that came into the county and could easily number every hog of pure breed almost that was ever owned in the /ounty up to five years ago. Not so long ago an oat drill or an oat harvester were almost unheard of in the county. Hero and there we have all along had a few gcod farmers who practised sound fann ing methods and secured good re sults but even they did not know much of the. real principle of good farming as a lot of the boys in the county know today. With our boys becoming educa ted in the-principles of correct farming today until they know, absolutely, that, soil fertility can not be maintained without the ad dition of humus to the soil; to the fact that, costly nitrogen does not have to be bought, hut that it can (be husbanded from the air by the use of legumes;, that soil tillage unlocks the store house of plant food that is stored in tlie soil; that an animal can be fed abundantly and yet not fed properly; and in a thousand other ways to plied faets and to new that make for bettor can be assured that pveu if our older farmers persist, id their habit of fighting nil progress, inch by inch until it is forepd on them, that when these boys of today becomes the farmers of tomorrow that wo will have nn era of progress baaed on a real knowledge of tho princi ples of good farming that will re vamp this great sectio’n of ours un til it will surpass the dreams of tho most sanguine 1 .today. I We do not belidVie however that, all the progress is going to wait the growing up of .thejboys of to day. Already the leaven of infor mation and example.]ia Working. The minds of our farmers who maybe have beeri fnorp dulled by routine than otherwise are being jostled into activity.' : The dawn of a more vigorous system of farming practice is already 1 upod us.
