D on’ t laugh at the groundhog
superstition as to the duration of
winter after February 2. There
may be a scientific foundation of
fic t for the popular idea that there
is some relation between the creat
ure’s behavior that day and the
weather for the rest of the winter.
The instinct» o f animals, especially
of wild ones, are barometers of
climatic conditions and it may be
that there are law« o f nature yet
undiscovered by men which make
the brute creation weatherwisc
months ahead o f a season.
D. O. Lively, chief of the live
stock department o f the San Fran
cisco exposition, in a recent speech
said that the farmer sells his birth
right for a mess o f cold turkey
when he turns from stock produc
tion to only raising grain. The
production of livestock is going to
grow in leaps and bounds for the
reason that thé farmer and small
ranchman have finally realised the
profit there is in raising livestock,
especially on a wheat farm where
a number can easily be raised on
what is now wasted. >
The days arc lengthening. There
is much more daylight than there
was six weeks ago. Consequently
our farmer friends should prepare
now for the busy days soon to
come. Seed time is ahead; now is
the time to fan the wheat, if. not
done before. This is the propty
time to overhaul the harness and
do those little tíme consuming jobs
that ao often throw the summer
fallow work so far behind that we
some times wonder if the one do
ing the plowing really does expect
a crop from so late a plowing.
W hen all is said and done harvest
w ill soon be here and it Will be as
large and great an^ bountiful as
was*that of last year.
