Editorial Correspondence
ROCICFORD, Illinois, July 13. This is. "Friday the 13th"
and the rain still continues. The AVeather Man is makinff up
for lost time doing now what he failed to do in March, April
and May. In sharp contrast with what weather experts were
bemoaning five weeks ago, an official of the Chicago weather
bureau declares drouths come in 25 year cycles, that July
marked the end of one of them, and for 25 years now this state
will get plenty of rain. Such statements shake our faith in
experts. So few of them can resist saying what they know
people will like to hear, and momentary conditions, encourage.

In the country the new corn is springing up from the rich
rain-sonked soil, like the mechanical flowers in the Hall of Sci
ence. One can almost see it grow with the naked eye. This
corn will be used for fodder mixed with the mature corn and
allowed to ferment in the silo. Between showers the farmers
are planting soyo beans. If harvested early these beans are an
excellent substitute for hay; if harvested when mature, the
beans are better than corn to fatten stock or just as good.
The farmers around here ere of the highest elass intelligent
and hard working. Most of them not only work their farms
but owr, them. One hired man
mors' wives and children do a great deal of work in the gardens
and the fields. As before, stated, if general farming under
such conditions can't pay, here, then it can't pay anywhere.
Our own opinion is that if general conditions in this country
improve next year, as they have
the country wILIj pay. Only
we believe, can it FAIL to pay.
