' Glory be! Tt's a delight to welcome such a confirmation ~from such a source of the thing which you and“1 have been talking for lo, these many vears. Tor it is absolutely necessary 10’ get down to the’ bottomi of ‘things before oneican build any surc oplglun concerning them. A d many 0 ple, on the farms and off them, wonder cccasionally at the slow advance in farming efficiency, considering the vast .amount of advice and informa- tion and legislation avhich is aimed at the farmer. Well, if you'll simply take thatabove quoted fact as a starter and proceed logically in a direct liné * therefrom, you'll very soon discover the usual movement to “uplift and ed- jucate” the farmer never. gets any where. Also, why no other movements, sim- ilarly conceived and - executed, Will never get anywhere. . Also, hew any thoughtful man with reasonable intelligence and a . com- mendable amount of medesty must see at the first glance why they ought *not to get anywhere. There need be no question raised as {to their honesty of purpose, or as 1o the sincerity of their sponsors. We can afford to admit all that. We can afford to admit that thy mean - well. For they mostly do. . But— When your watch gets out ¢ order you take it.to a skilled and «xper enced watchmaker for repairs,” don't |you? You don’t take it to the car- | penter or the blacksmith. Both of { these neighbors are well-meaning men. { The trouble is that they are not expert iwatchmakers. When, that watch won't {run and you can’t make it run, the help vou call is that of 4 man who knows watches*their materials, their | construction, their modus operandi, jtheir crinkums-crankums, It isn't ! sincerity or honesty of purpose or { peighborliness that you mecd most in that mergency. p It is the Know-How.

Again, it is the .Know-How - you| ' need. ~ Now. farming is a vocation in a class by itself. It is a trade as truly arpentering is a trade. It is .a s watch repairing 1s a craft. It is a profession as truly as, medicin a profession. It is an art y portrait painting is an art. s a science.as truly as chemistry and geology and ecntomology and zoology are sciences. ~And. it is a drudgery and a gamble, at the same time. It requires an amount of hard E ny trad a degre: s any craft; a fuilness vond what many be- : a shrewdness in forecasting cli- matic and seasonal conditions that ey that of the government's me- teorclogists d a gambler’'s readiness to * chances,” day - by day and ar. -upation which can .only v long and continuous 1ittle; = Advice is -ometimes worth a littie. - But, as the Roman said of his shoe: “No one of vou knows where it pinches.” So it is true that no one but the actual farmer knows what is the matter with farming. | Nor will any remedy worth one sec- tond’s consideration ever be found for farming ills till it comes from- th working farmers of the countr: must be something to fit actual ing conditions. And no one knows or ever can know those conditions except the man who lives in them and with; them or, too oftem; under them. | ™'On, T zet so deadly tired, sometimes, over the vague lucubrations of honest and sincere but pitifully ignorant ad- ivisers that I want to get out behind the barn and kick a mullein stalk! Because I wear the old clothes which are fitting for the sofl worker, why should the man who - wears creased ‘pants and polished boots think he is capable of giving me-points in farm- ing? Why should heé -think I need help, so as to wear better clothes? ' T don’t want better clothes for weeding onions or forking manure or digging potatoes. If T should. go at -any of those or the dozen other similar.farm |tasks with my bést Sunday meetin’ suit on. it would get bages: {)meed and edge-frayed and dirt-in- crusted in less than no. time. One set of outside critics try to help us by preaching to us the . need of keeping accounts. It's a curious thing, but T never vet happgned to meet one cingle working farmer who ever joined in that crusade. Nor do T believe amy of those non-farmers who seem to make bookkeeping a sort of “shibo- leth” would continue to parrof it, after they had had about five years' experi- ence in earning thetr own living on a farm. In some, cases there is no doubt that account Keeping is hélpful. But in average farming, there is no such ihing possible as- accurate bookkeep- ine Too many things have to be done by guess-work and left to chance. ~aire's an frresular patch”back of my barn - containing perbans three- avesters of an acre—thoush only: Skilled surveyor and mathematicin® Sould measure it exactly—on ' whict fre or have been growing lettuce an | Fadiches and sninach,and turnips an~ | caulifiower and cucumbers and pe: ! pers and egz-plant and beans | pop-corn and carrots and parsnip {and salsify and parsley and-asparazi | —ana weeas!
