American Farms And
F armers
The nationai department of
agriculture as the result of rather
extended investigations, gives out
the gratifying assurance that
American farm lands are not wear¬
ing out. That intelligent cultiva¬
tion of the soil means endless pro¬
ductivity.
The truth of this statement is
borne out by the fact that for
hundreds of years farm lands in
Europe have been cultivated and
are still producing good crops.
But the intelligent farmer must
realize that the productivity of our
soil must be increased, if produc¬
tion is to keep pace with increase
in population.
If farm lands can be made to
produce two bales of cotton to the
acre it is a waste of money and
time and dividends to go ahead
year after year producing only
one bale.
If the farmers of the middle
west can produce fifty or sixty
bushels of corn to the acre, the
man who produces only ten or
twelve bushels needs to mix more
brains with his fertilizer. The
agricultural schools should lead
the way in solving these problems.
In a serious article asking if the
American farmers know how to
farm. The Washington Post re¬
cently declared that we are impor¬
ting beef from Australia and corn
from South Africa. It calls at¬
tention to a newspaper dispatch
stating that a steamer from Liver¬
pool had brought to New York for
American consumption & consign¬
ment of dressed poultry, including
1,500 cases of chickens; squabs
and ducks.
That America no longer fills the
position of the world’s grocery
store would seem to be proved by
these disclosures. Such things
would not be, says The Post, if
butter-making in America were
what it is in Denmark, arid chicken
breeding and egg production what
they are in Norm indy, France,
It is not to be supposed that
j food products from abroad would
be imported unless they could be
sold for enough to yield a profit to
tq ie merchants handling them, after
paying transportation charges.
■
No one contends that the for-
eigners are underselling the Ameri¬
can farmer in his own market, but
simply that lie is supplying wants
the native farmer cannot fill.
It is. time for the American
farmer to get busy!—-Atlanta
Constitution.
Once upon a time a farmer who
was too economical to take a news¬
paper sent his little boy to borrow
the paper taken by his neighbor.
In his haste the boy ran over a
bee hive and in ten minutes looked
like a watery summery squash,
His cries reached his father, who
ran to his assistance, and, ’ failing *
, see a , barbed-wire , , fence, ran
into it, breaking it down and cut-
ting a handful of flesh from his
anatomy and ruining a $5 pair of
trousers> The old cow took ad _
van A t a 8' e °f t’ ie 8 a P in the ,, fence, „
got into the cornfield and killed
herself eating green corn. Hear¬
ing the racket, his wife ran, upset¬
ting a four-gallon churn of rich
cream into a basket of kittens,
drowning the whole Hock. In her
hurry she dropped and broke a
$7 set of false teeth. The baby,
left alone, crawled thru the spilt
cream into the parlors and ruined
a $25 carpet. During the excite¬
ment the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man. the calves got
out and the dog broke up ten
setting hens. Moral: Subscribe
