“The internal insecticide* are di-
videii into two groups which may be

wet sprays consist of arsenicals ap
plied with water or lime-sulphur as a

"About the only one in use at the

At times
it is necessary to use five pounds of

water, as some insects do not readily

NEGLECTS

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.”
