FARMER NEGLECTS FINANCIAL side . “The financial side of fanning, the world's greatest industry, is almost entirely neglected by lw«th the fanner and the sch<a>l*. “ nays Dean J. A Bexell, of th«- Oregon Agricultural college, author of a volume on "Farm Accounting and Business Method*,” now in its sixth thousand “Profe**or Bailey, of New York, said, in discussing th«- matter of hi.s own state: 'In visiting practically every farm in on«- of the counties of th«- state, we did not find one man who knew how much It cost him to pnxluce milk or to raise any of hi* crops.' “Th«- »«-cretary of agriculture-, in recent year books, points out th«- re markable prosperity of the farmer; that the export of farm pnxlucta is vastly in excess of all other exports combined; that a million agricultural debtors hav«- been transformed during th«- last ten year* into the same num ber of surplus depositor*; that ‘con trary to hi* reputation, the farmer is a great organizer, and has achieved remarkable and enormous successes in many lines of economic co-operation in which the people of other occupa tions have either made no lieginning or have nearly, of not completely, failed.' He (mints out that most farmers live better than the averag«- merchant or mechanic. “It i* doubtless true that the farmer is becoming a factor to be reckon««! with in the business world; that the average farmer know* vastly mor«- about scientific farming than his father did. He understands more thor-iugly the value <>( proper cultiva tion, of fertilisation, of rotation of crop*, and of diversifi««l farming. But it cannot be said that he owes his success to improv««! business methods. He has been successful rather in spite of his ignorance in this respect, and because of the lavish generosity of mother nature.” I houj'hT nice toóf« nfw oj 'VeHow - red - IC J merely «A rn a~tfev o j- ta iTe • my dear * To me. m SA id - VéT eihfn iA¿rhcr i b.-r Geometrical Puttie. possible to amuse a party or family quite a while with tbl* »Imple puttie, which Isn't so »Impla until you know Corvallis, Or.
