THE UPS AND DOWNS OF FARM CROPS ¥Written Specially for The Bulletin.) An item from the bustling town of | Liberal, out in Seward county, Kan- #as, has big interest for the broom- using officers of the human army. Per- 1 haps you never even heard of lLiberal Kansas, but you've certainly heard of | w s from there. It is lkwl br n capital of the United States: clal for itself that r' ships | more broom-corn than any other place n the ntry, and gives facts that seci to substantiate this assertion x‘ Up to November 30 Liberal had, this | fall, shipped 310 carloads of the packed | brush, twenty-five more carloads were in the warehouses waiting for cars to | i them in, and it was still coming | m thé surrounding country. | Faro estimates were that about | ene-third of the crop was in at that | time. This would make the total | wmount raised near Liberal and ship- i from there about a thousand car- cade. It is sald to take about six Dig | gonloads to make one carload. If s be so, the erop, right around there, amount to about six thousand | wagonloads. This is some cor tarmer alone had seventeen hun- cres In broom-corn and he does think it possible to get all the stuff | sted before Christmas. Say, I wasn't 0 cold out there as it | vas hereabouts, last week. If it was, #hose broom-corn harvesters must irely have had cold noses! nust The interesting fact about all this to the feminine portion of the popula- | P that, the crop being the very biggest and best ever raised, it may become possible to use brooms again for something besides parior orna- wents. They will undoubtedly onc ® become as cheap vacuum ners and can be used in practice well as in wifely admonition and | tisement. There are also two in- ng facts connected with the Liberal and its broom-eorn | tha overalls-wearing half of farm- Bumanity The first is that Seward county has been ralsing broom-ocorn for over twenty yea now and has never had a complete failere of the orop, though the average sainfall there is only fif- teen Inches per amnum. The farmers se it not because they have any | «pecial love for it as a ecrep, but be- | <ause experience has shown them that thelr land is peculiarly adapted to its wrowin. The soll is a dark sandy loam, w hich # moisture like a sponge for raany months duriig a érouth, thus in- #uring a vigorous stand, while some- thing in 1§ also tends to produce ex- *ptionally fine brueh. Also, there is elways a market demand for the pro- €uct. Farmers raise broom-corn be- cause they cap raise good broom-corn, «nd because they can always sell it— «t some price. The second interesting thing about this year's crop to us hoe-handlers of the homeller sex is that, being the big- west and best er0p that was ever pro- <ueed, it is worth unly one-thizd of what ¥ was last fall when the crop was sim and the lity poor.

That's where I am inclined to think she did a good job. There are quite enough natural-born reformers, as it is, go- ing up and down the land seeking evils to devour. Not but that therg is need of reformation in all of us, individually, and in all of us, consid- ered as a bunch. The trouble is not | so_much because there are too many reformers, but because they spread themselves out too wide and too thin, and try to do too many good things ail at once. Humanity is a queer lot and the longer you live with it the queerer it gets. it can’t seem to stand either virtue or wisdom by the whole- sale, but must have them administered n minims and only one variety at a time. But every reformer gets up on his own separate stump and pro- ceeds to flail the universe because all its countiess millions don’'t hasten to get up on that same stump, regardless of any and all other stumps, no mat- ter how enticing. Once in a great while, enough of us forget our partic- ular whim in reform long enough to unite with those who are banging other reform. And then that one thing which we've united to carry is carried. After which we dissolve into separate bands again, and resume our ineffective bushwhack- ing in the service of our personal ideas. We farmers are apt to be all reform- ers, in our individual ways. One trou- ble with most of us is that we want to reform our ghbors, whom we can't effectively influence, rather than the only fellows whom we do con- trol, i.e, our own selves. Take, for example t very matter of a nate over-production and unde: to which allusion has made. Until we can reform out of existence the toll-gate system of do- ing business, just we've reformed it off our rural roads, we have got to make the best we can of it. And we simply cannot tell, beforehand, in the spring, what ‘the market for our fall crops is going to be; whether high or low. We don’'t know how much other farmers are #oing to attempt produeing; we don't know what the season is going to be, whether one of good or of poor yleld. We must take our chances, gamblers that we are. P been But keen gamblers don’t take un- necessary chances, nor do they take any chance blindly. Not if they'r gambling to win. Which is just what we farmers have to do, every year. We've got to something, somehow, or go to the poorhouse. We can't support our families and keep the children at school and pay our taxes, if we lose our bets against nature, ail of them. I have several neighbors who, when any particular crop has been unusually good and therefors un- profitably cheap one year, always put in double acreage of that the next year. They “figger it out” that a majority of farmers, disgusted with low prices, will stop trying to raise that particular crop and that, conse- quently, there will be a shortage, the coming’ year, with better prices. Sim ilarly. If a year has been marked by high prices, they put in less of that particular thing, next vear, 80 as not to be caught with a lot of it when the market is drugged by an over-supply from others who | have been led into over-production by the hope that high prices will rule a second year. That's one way to take the gambler's advantage In the game. I have other neighbors who take a different tack. They find their land pecullarly fitted for some one or two staple crops. They can raise those particular things rather cheaply and of good quality. So they stick right to them, year after year, always try- ing to produce about the same amount. Their reasoning is that things will about “even up” in the long run; that if prices are low this vear, they'll probably be good, next year; and that they will Itkely do better. in a long course of vears, to stick 1o the crops they know most of and can raise b rather than go experimentin; the crop-lst. That's anoth take the gambler's advantage of the game. Out in that broom-corn country, most twice as many acres were in broom-corn this year as last. The crop was at least a third larger per acre. Yet the farmers who raise 1t arén't going to get amy more, If as much agtual money this year for thelr blg, good erop as they got last vear for al- s Pt . their small, poor crap.
