\» THE (Written Specially for the Bulietin.) I've often expressed my belief that it is plum fcelishuess for us Sfarm- e1s to set about amy blind imitation of ar other fellow, just because said other féllow happeus to have made a wuccess of his own peculiar methods. Every tub must stand on its own bot- tom, and every farmer must work his own farm according to his own ca- pacity. 7 it is not only because no two farms are just alike; nor is only because w0 two farmers are just alike:—it is #also because no two successes are the 'THE FARMERS TALK TO FARMERS WHAT CONSTITUTES SUCCESS ON / FARM { really, one-sided critters whe ought to NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1912 No More Reatless,vasu!e'glz_;swli‘tg'll&s'm that take away the of living. %o build up ln'l nfi-j:¥oh the '-uu worn away work.

Furthermore they are apt to be exceptions, on exceptional farms, where, by the use of unusual methods, they have brought about exceptional results. So far I've been talking about the of promiseuous and umimtelli- gent imifation of men who have prov- en themselves good marksmen im hit- ting the target they were aiming at. I want you to see that I'm net a bit in- same. The thing which one man may considsr eminent success amother may catalogue as pitiful failure. For in- stance 1 know a farmer whose lnfl:ml’l' paying him wages every year - with fafr regularity and certainty, ten per cent. interest on the money in- vusted in it. He puts a tidy sum into the bunk, every season. His deposit now amounts to such an aggregate thzt bankers in the neighboring city find it worth their while to compete for his busineds. In other weords, he has accumulated quite a*pot of money. He hag also accumulated a prema- ti¥frely bent back, and lame legs, and fingers so cramped and stiffemed and crooked, thut «they are fit for nothing but. to heok on to dirt or title-deeds or setting hens or money, or some- thing of that general sort. le bas alse accumulated a W moth and a simple giganti - fis] < _He has still further accumulatedghe w’“ and suspicton and more or ‘open of all his neighbors., id be put down by statisticians of the of agriculture as having o BuCccess. d rather imcline to pity him iserable and monumental fail- | you would think n¥ him I t know, and care.

But, when we have arrived at a con- clusion in that Fundamental stratum of our sub-liminal‘ consciousness,— when we really know what we are after,—then it may very well be ju- dicious for us to study and sometimes to imitate the methods of those whose aims are practieally identical with our own, whose opportunities have been about the same and whose success has been greater. Fourteen years ago An! a French immigrant, bough of worn-out sand spection would stimulate. | don’t understand that Mr. Bi: u%mam " zuu Last he raised swest potatoes, year peaches, peurs, grapes, etc. besides a lot of corn and other stock forage. m's net for the year were about $5,000. Remember that this was off only fifty acres,—fifty acres of soil which, fourteen years ago was se poor it wouldn't grow pussiey. When he bought the place there was on it a single dilapidated old wreck of & wooden :—nothing else in the way of bulldings or improvements. Today he lives in a new house with modern comveniences, has barns, a -house, winery and water-tank townr, all complete and paid for. has ten children, and the oldest boy, a lad of sixteen, shows signs of mak- ing a better farmer even than the old man. The kid is now growing an acre of corn in competition with 300 oth- er boys of the county and, whether he wins first prize or not, he has a corn patch which makes visitors open their eyes and take notice. It is said to average six ears to the stalk over the whole piece, while the MHttle fellow shyly guides his guests to several which bear tem fine ears. All of the bufldings and even the fence-posts are of eement. This wouldn’'t be my private idea of & farmstead., But Texas isn't Connecti- cut. Anyway the place declares to be a sort of rural poem: “the most beautiful - farm In the state,” is a common expression of visitors, Now, we Connecticut farmers can't raise sweet potatoes at the rate of 850 bushels per acre as Bideault does in Texas, nor dewberrfes at a profit of $432 per acre, as Bideault does in Texas, His neighbors, right be- slde him, on better lamd, dem't do it. Yet the federal farm experts along the line of whose suggestions Bideault has been working declare unreserved- ly that any farmer in that county could ds just as well, if he would work | as wisely as Bideault does. It is doybtful If there is a fifty acre farm in all Connesticut se un?’rm(a» ing in tteelf or so hand ed with ast neglect of abuse as this Fert orth fifty aered when Bideault bought it. It wasn't preducing and wasn'l capable of produelng undef local methodd of farming fifty eents worth of j to the aere. 'The canty little Frenchman gets a4 plump hundred dollars prefit to the mere. Ap- | parently the reason for his being able ! to do #o is that he mees in agriculture | both a selence and an art. That is, he farms In accor@ance with all which sclence can teach him of the needs and | capacities of his soll, and also with | all the practical skill which his Old World apprenticeship gave him. He | 1sn’t afraid to work, though he doesn’t | work harder nor longer than his | nelghbors. He simply works more | At the same time, he isn't | necked and stubborn to learn the science of his caliing whether from experiment stations or college ! professors or federal farm demonstra- | tors. He has got from these various Bources all the help they ecould give him, all the information they could impart, all the suggestions they could offer. He has studied the relation of | their sclentific demonstrations to his particular ranch, and then has applied his knowledge with painstaking care and trained skill. The results speak for themselves. 1 It would be mighty silly for us Yanks in the Nutmeg state to attempt & parrot-ilke imitation of this Bideault down In Texas. We havem't his cli- | mate, nor his sort of sofl, nor his| opportunities for growing semi-tropi- cal produce. But his neighbors, with the same sort of climate and soil as he, aren’t achieving his results. You see, brethren, it's the Know-Why and the Know-How in the Man which count for more than all the accidents of climate and all the variations in dirt. Don't you know that this same Bideault would have done practically | just as well if he had, fourteen years | ago bought a fifty-acre farm in Con- necticut, instead of in Texas? And, if he could have dome it, why can't or why don’t You and 17 That's a question whieh it really is worth while for us to take out back | of the barn with us and think o‘rflr; soberly and aer}gu:g'.
