'l‘oo nuny hllme the Lord | when the tmth ll That’s a truth which applies not cnly to the general attitude regarding lynch law, but most emphatically to the general attitude of too many farm- ers regarding farm management and farm work. It is worth any farmer’s while to take a day off,—a rainy day, that is,— and spend some part of it reflecting on the seemingly abstract but highly practical thesis that every result has its cause. We've talked, more or less, lately, about symptoms and diseases. We've laughed at ‘the silly fatuity of those to doctor mere symp- never sent a being, till thlt pared the way and planted the germs ang suppied the cause for it, by his own crapulence or' gulosity.

Now don’t assume that anybedy is holding you always and everywhere responsible for every ¢rop success or crop failure. Sometimes the cause of either may lie outside your juris. diction. Sometimes you may do your part in full and to. the uttermost, and vet obtain poor results’ from cagses which you couldn’t .control. Then you're not to blame, But there ‘are scores and hundreds and tnuuunds of cases of poor crops where ‘the farmer may, if he is honest with himself, find ing. hld flrut pre- in his own failure to do his own part | towards producing good ones.
