And vet, I know at leasi cue man, who went in debt | for a piece of land as poor as any of the sand hills of the south, and who. folks said, was agreeing to pay time times what the land was worth. But j today, that man who started without j a cent lives in a fine house, has a • barn bigger than nlinost any church, and last year cit ared $29,000, and has refused $230 an acre for ihe old j sandy land he bought years ago lor j a little over $20 a:i acre, when no one thought it worth half that much. But he believed In book farming, an.1 | has made a fortune because no acted | on his belief. He does not tell any one that his land Is poor, though he likts to tell how poor it once was. I I know a man who Inherited a fair ly good farm, but did not believe In "book farming." He thought that farming was simply hard work ami drudgery, but he knew of nothing hotter. He lias lived years, and ’the farm Is poorer than when he took possession of It. He has worked j hard, lived frugally, has no bad or ex pensive habits, but he Is no better off than when he started, simply because he did not believe in farming, and really has no love for it. 1 know another man who Inherited a farm no better, but has'been a stu- j dent, has ( read and studied all the I bulletins of his experiment station. | He went to work to Improve Ills laud | and Improve the seed he plants. He has Improved his ooru till his whole ctop is sold for seed every yenri for from $2.00 to $2.73 per bushel, and he buys all the corn he feeds from the men who do not believe in book farming. His wheat crop also goes largely- for 3eed, tor he has Improved LI? t;..J wheat, too, and rarely mike? less than forty bushels per acre, and generally more. His corn on a clover sod will probably make hlut 1,50J bushels this summer, and all but the Ups and butts will be sold at a fancy price for seed, for he took all the Ilrsc prizes at the corn shows last tali against the whole country and fitly bushels of corn per acre would be p (lend failure In his fields.
