Lots of eastern farmers still have the idea that the farther west is the Land of Promise. It wused to be. Moreover, Horace Greeley once suerl- ed at a youth whom he was too busy to talk to; “Go West, young man, 5o west.” Youwll still hear that quoted from one end of New England to the other. Just as if it had been inspired truth when uttered, and as if it still was. Just as if Horace Greeley hadn’t been dead, lo, these many years. Just as if there hadn't any water run under any bridges since he barked out the exhortation. Greatly does the eastern farmer covet the broad level acres of the great plains. Especially does he envy the big yields he reads about, the single farms which harvest a trainload of wheat, the single crops which bring in ten or fifteen thousand _dollars. There is a sort of general “bigness” about the whole proposition which ap- peals strongly to the man whose farm is only a small one, half rocks and hills or swamps, at that, and who can’t plant more than an acre or two of any one crop in a plac 1 think, also, the yarns which we hear about those western farmers’ au- tomobiles make envy a little Keener. Once in a while we read of some little farming town out in Kansas, where all hands are farmers except the one storekeeper, the one blacksmith, the two carpenters and the one postmaster, but where more automobiles are owned than in any city, in proportion to the population. We know that we can't afford auto- TO FARMERS AN INTERESTING REVELATION FROM FIGURES of these western farmers who think they must have their automobiles really can't afford to keep a decent roof over them? Let me quote another sentence from our farmer’s letter: “I did not see a thoroughly cultivated plece of corn after 1 left Towa. They cultivate their corn about so much and then quit, whether it is wet or dry. Then the crab-grass comes up about a foot high, and as thick as in & mowing field. The corn promptly stops growing.” Why shouldn’t it? not | Flelds only half fertilized at all; seed weakened in | exposed to the vitality by being weather all winter; cultivation only a sort of half-hearted “lick or miss, —which is oftenest a_“miss;” and the field given up to weeds when the poor corn needs for itself all the strength there is in the sofl:—that is not real | | farming. 1t is not farming at all: it is | an attempt to rob the land and swindle the farm, prepared: { Now that sort of thing will work, for 4 while, if the land is only rich enough to begin with.

Coincident with the cession of Aca- dia to the British in 1715, the name £ Port Royal was changed to An- polis Royal in honor of Queen Anmg: and .the town became the seat of gov= crnment, a dignity which it retained until 1750, when it was superseded by the newly founded city of Halifax, whither the holy silver vessels (royal gifts to the church) were removed for safekéeping by order of the ya= pacious Lawrence. 1t Annapolis Royal, Canada, which was the place of the nativity of the Church of England in Canada, and the site of the oldest European settle- ment to the north of the Gulf of Mex- ico on the North American continent, the town having been founded by Sieur Monts, under the name of Port Reyal in 1605 as the capital of the French province of Acadia.

If the tourist's visit is in early summer, he will see an expanse of pink and white blossoms, whose trees are white with youth, promising fruit when summer comes; and if the journey i in later summer he will see myri of apples reddening in the summer sun, But it is, after all, in its historic spots that Nova Scotia bhas perhaps for the tourist places in thi for there are many % rated many historic_associations cluster uncement on Jan, 1st, 1912, the prizes ; $25 each to third and fourth; and the chance to drive some other fellow off the road with ome, for a change.

A country where the farmers use automobiles and “honk” the other fellows into the ditch a few dozen times a day looks good to us. _Well, one day last summer, & par- ticularly good farmer of the middle east took a long journey through the west. He wasn't actually looking aft- er a western farm, but he went on pur- pose to look into western ways of farming. He, too, had heard so much about prosperity of the farmers out that way, that he thought it might be a profitable investiment of his time, if he should study them and see what improvements he could make on his own practices. One letter which he wrote back happened to fall into the hands of an editor and the chiel print- ed it. Some of it made pretty good reading, too. In it he spoke of a certai valley he had just visited. “It is the finest looking farming land 1 have ever see he wrote. “But their methods of farming are such that it s only a question of time when their rich soil will be impoverished.” The farmers all owned from 160 to 640 acres and “farmed it” on a big scale. But the way they, farmed made this good eastern farmer shiver. ‘I was shown several pieces of Jand that had raised wheat continuously for from ten to twenty vears, and had never been plowed but once” Th Just scratch the dirt enough to cover the new seed and let it go at that. As a result the ylelds are dwindling. They grow poorer and poorer.' Last sum- mer they were the worst ever. The farmers laid it to drought. The vis- Kansas farming.
