/ NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1912 STAY EAST YOUNG MAN! STAY EAST (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) e've talked together, once y, lt:::k about the relative attractive- Thas of West and East for farmers. But 1 occasionally find such splendid texts for further sermonizing on that topic that I can't resist their tempta- tion. stance, here's a letter Tve lu:or et i The Wisconsin Agricul- ‘turist from a settler in Northern Idaho. He writes: “I have come up here as soms of you would perhaps like to do, and will say to you as the best advice I can zive: Stay in good old Wisconsin! There you have a chance of living where you can grow a great variety of staple crops, as you cam- not do here.” He goes on to that some froits a.z'.myvmw;ynnaumaum it is a good hay and country, “but they do mot yield well without irrigation and plenty of fedlilizers. Corn, spring Wheat, Tye, alfalfa, etc., “do_very poorly. pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers” mature and ripen” And then he goes on to add the final knock-down comments “We have ne local market and so must ship e Markets _are han owF pro. duce geis in we must take W we can The small stores here will a very amouat of stuff which we must trade out at about Balf its real value” “It will take good crops for twenty years to enmable us to get our mo bagk from our investment in land.” 1f they had put the same momey in w savings bank at four per ceat, compounded aupually, 1t would have done better than thatl “You can grow more,” he goes on, “on acres in Wisconsin' than you cam on twenty acres here.” Wae in staid old Connecticut lift our eyebrows a little to read such talk. We are accustomed to thinking of Wisconsin as being “out west” and have to readjust our mental geography & little to get the view-point of this former Wisconsinite who has gone farther into the real west and re- members his former Wisqonsin home as “back east.” And then, many of us still think of the virgin, untilled frontier flelds as being the perfection of soll to farm in. To be told that they don't produce even a limited variety of croos “with- out irrigation und pienty of fertilizas tion” is in the nature of & wurprise . to some of us. But what this Idaho settler says about markets and the helplessness, of the farmer whose only salable crops come in just at the time when the markets are overstocked and the price down to zero,—this complaint s noth- ing new. We farmers here in Connect!- weut: have to fertllize heavily.w So it seems, do those in mortherp Idaho. They also have to irrigate, which we don't often need. They e nu ad- vantage over us, €0, 1 “hey can raise only three or four salable crops, after all they've done: we can raise thirty orforty, it we chuose, or ¢an make choice between anv half-dozen of that number. Thoy have no ad- vantage over us, in that direction, either. ‘ When it comes to.markets, they aren’t éven on the same race-track with us;—they're off cross country, in “the swamp, among the ditches and be- hind the woods. They ‘“have no li- cal market and must ship everything.” They can only trade out a very little of their produce at docal siores and that “at about half ‘its rcal value." We Nutmeg farmers are simply surrounded and squeezed by markets which are eager for almost anything or everything we can grow. As a cold matter of fact, we don't raise a pitiful fraction of the farm and garden and orchard produce which our own Connecticut markets call for and pay There is hardly a farm in Connecti- cut which isn’t within horse-haul . tance of one or more markets, i few exceptionally remote farms of the state are still within easy shipping distance of some city or‘large town. Why, the state is so small and is so thickly studded with cities and factory towns that it is difficult to imagine a farm in it as much as twenty-five miles from some center of population whose people must eat. This Idaho farmer must limit him- melf to what his soil and his climate will permit: and they permit only a very few crops. He can grow hay and potatoes,—with plenty of water and manure: he can grow a few hardy fruits, such as apples and currants, but no peaches or cherries or grapes or pears: he can grow cabbages and onions and carrots and Leets but no melons or squashes or tomatoes or cucumberd: he can’t raise corn or | spring wheat ,or rye ,or barley or the | clovers. He must raise about what his neighbors raise, and his crops will bout when theirs do, so y will all be dumping their truck on the market at the same time | in a very freshet of deliveries and, of | coursey knocking prices down to the bottom of the well. The Connecticut farmer can take his choice of fully half a bundren d ferent crops, any one of which or any dozen of which his climate and his sofl will permit him to raise, He cer- tainly can make hay, if he wants to jand will take the pains. The best and ‘most profitable hay-raising ever. done in the ['nited States was done in Con- necticut. He surely can raise pota- toes, and, when he has raised them, he can sell them practically at his own_door, for at least double what the Idaho potato-grower can get for his shipment. Moreoyer, the Connecti- cut farmer ean grow corn and rye and harley and clover and melons and pumpkins and tomatoes and cucum- bers, which the 1daho farmer cannot: n raise peaches and cherries and pears, which the Idaho farmer ‘can- H truth, he can producé every~ thing that Idaho will produce, as well as about forty crops which Idahe won't produce and can’t be made to, Then he can sell. what he raises for considerably higher prices than the Idaho farmer can hope to get;. In markets which it doesn’t cost him to reach, one-half what it costs the Ida- ho farmer in transpertation charges. In other words the Nutwmeg farmer can take his cheice of erops from a list many times lower than that avail- able in ldaho: and then he'can take his choice, within reason, of the markets wherein to sell them. If one happens tp be temporarily ever-stock- ed'when his crop i8 yeady, perhaps there may be anothen ¢lose by, whieh is clamoring for just his goods. He 1 o only one market, without any competing bidders, In answer, yeu may wisely shake your head and sayi “Oh, well, this sounds all right, but we knew of men ce gone west and e money.” rou, and don’t you know of men ‘who uve stayed east, right In Cen- necticut, and made money,—made it at farming? I have no doubt some men have made meney by farming in the me west, 1 suspect that there is, here and there, a man so glfted with agricultural genius that he would make money farming on the edge of the Sahara desert. He'd breed camels and sell ostrich eggs, and get fancy prices for them. RKeally, you know, a farmers sue- cess depends quite as much, and I sometimes think a little more, on the quality of the man than on the character of the farm. But what | want you to s that, given the same sort of man witn the same industry and perseverance and patience and horse-sense, the sur- rounding conditions for success are better in Connecticut than in Idaho. A poor stick of a farm may fail In the Cdnnecticut Valley. A betts farmer may succeed among the foot-liills of the Rockies. But the good farmer has a better envircnment, even in the extreme east, ihan the evually good farmer on ' the extremc western frontier. The chances, outside of what's under his own hat-brim, are better. Horace Greeiey was a great editor. He was a mighty poor farmer. His “What I Know About Farming” mads & much smalier book than he might have put under the title “What [ Don't Know About Farming.” Perhaps his gver-the-shoulder advice to some caller whom he was surlily anxious to get rid of, “Go West, Young Man, might have been good when he gave it. Perhaps it might not have been. I don't know. That was a long time ago. Much water has run under the bridges since then ,and it's dum poor ;ul\l\'l‘ now, I don't care who repeats t. A country where it takes a man twenty years of good crops to get back the thousand dollars he invested in the farm, when a four per cent. sav- ings bank deposit Of that same thous- and could have made another thous- and in less than eighteen years,—such a country doesn't meet my ideal of “good farmin’ land.” Stay East, young farmer! Take a slice of the old farm ,or buy a slice off some other old farm, for about half what you'd have to pay for any- thing decent in western lands. Then go at it, not with hammer and tongs, but with plow and harrow and culti- vator and weeder and manure-spread- er—AND BRAINS!

In the interesting paper which Dr. Lyster Jameson read at a session of the British association on pearl pro- ducing industries, he stated that the Japanese pearl oyster industry was the only instance known to him of the application of biological knowledge and theory to the improvement of the in- dustry. Dr. Jameson is apparently un- aware that & few years ago the Unit- ed States government appointed a body of éxperts ‘o investigate the subject. The results vf their work are contained in an elaborate Teport which has just been presented to the bureau of fish- eries, and judging by these the suc- cess of the experiments which have been carried out is no longer in doubt, either from a scientific or a commer- cial point of view. The experts have also carried out extensive experiments to test the possibility of artificially propagating fresh water mussels. This work was undertaken because of the threatened extinction of the commer- cial species, whose shells have been taken in enoromus quantities in re- cent years, both for the manufacture of pearl buttons and for the pearls which they frequently contain. Years have been spent in studying the breed- ing habits and seasons of the mus- sels, the biological and physical con- fthan Gavitt of Westerly is the ditions under which they live, and many other essential matters. The results of these experiments are not yet complete, but the experts state that they have proceeded far enough to make it clear that the ultimate end of the Investigation is assured. The report contains full particulars of the process of artificial reproduction which has been successfully tried. Oyster culture after all is no nov- elty, having been practised by the Romans. Dr, Jameson referred to the dlsastrous failure of the company pro- moted by Sir West Ridgeway in 1908 to exblol{ the Ceylon pearl banks. This unfortunate result was due partly to the absence of any attempt sclentifi- cally to develop the banks, and the grdunds which were leased to the com- pany by the colonial office are new be- ing taken back. e Andrew Lang's Later Years. The late Mr. Lang was in his later years a rather soured and disappoint- ed man, fer what exact' reasen nobody could very well divine,for he had fame, honer and treops of friends, and he never seemed to carry. otherwise than easily the great volume of work which he got through. Perbaps he felt he would have been greater if his talents had been concentrated, if he had not dissipated his astonishing energies over such & wide and diverse fleld. “How extraordinarily good he'd be if he wrote a little less,” said Matthew Arnold, though their joint sacrifice of literature to the necessity of making a comfort- able livellhood made a kind of stm- ilarity between the two. Like Arnold, too, Mr. Lang liked being praised for his work, though he accepted homage less generously than his elder. I re- member saying how splendid and witty ‘was his essay on Thomas Haynes Bay- ly. “Yes, sir,” he said, offhandedly, “it was quite all right, wasn't it?" It was plain he liked praise but he loved to e a little supercilious in accepting it. He was always apt to underestimate his own position and to show a dislike of people who “got on” in the Mterary world, even though their fame was re- aly much less pervasive than his own. “Do you really belleve, doctor, that your old medicines really keep any, body alive?’ asked the skeptic. “Sury ly,” returned the doctor. “My scriptions have kept three druggists and their families alive in this town for 20 years."—Harper's Weekly.
