However, the 'nfitxtber is small an yet but the success the ones who are trying it are hsving is bound to convert others and the next few years will witness a big change in the methOd of farming anilrfar- mere will receive better returai fo'r their labor. Prof. E. A. Chamber- lain, agricultural expert with the Great Northern railroad, has given ten reasons why farmers should prac- tice diversified farming which we publish below for the benefit of our , I. It is the only system Of farm- ing that ever was carried on success- fully and -at a profit for a long series f years in any country. 2. Agriculture such as is adapted to our climate was never permanent- ly successful in any country where the people depended upon one oiq)p for their revenue. 3. It means freedom and relief from innumerable small debts.- The man wksis raining a f#VS,rsitY of crops including live stock and poul- try; has something he can sell any month in the year.

The farmer who is growing a diversity of Crops always has some- thing to sell at a fair price, and gen- erally at . a high price,while the far- mer who is dependipg . upon one crop for his revenue is always at the mer- cy of the market,: and frequently -has to sell his production at:a price which is really a sacrifice, .and amounts to a loss. 5. Farmers are never permanent- ly successful in any community after the land had. been tilled for ten . or fifteen years, if they-depended upon one crop. 6. In a country where the condi- ti one wtre as they are . with us, no farmer ever failed to succeed who di- versified his crops, including that di- versification, livestock and poultry, if he was reasonably economiCal, and took cure of the product. Th* is, of course, barring some catastrophe such as fire and storm. 7. No soil in any country has ev- er been successfully and profitably cropped for a period of years after it had been in cultivation for say; ten lioirs, unless diversified, farming was prn - cti ed • 8. A system of diversified farm- ing which reSulted . in . producing feed I on the farm, and its consumption and return to the land in the, form of manure, is the only thing that has ever in any' country maintained the fertility of the soil and its physical condition to the exisnt that-the soil conld be farmed for many years and generations at a profit. , 9. The. fertility of the soil has ever failed in any country that was once fertile, on the farms 'where the crops were diversified, a liberal por- tion of them fed to livestock, and the manure returned to the fields. 10. Diversified farming means due bills in the farmer's pocketbook or money in the bank. The one crop Tit:velem means bills due and notes owing to the bank. EARLY SEEDING RECOMMEND- = BY EXPERIENCED PERSONS Montana_ Farmer: In many years experienck in Montana we have never seen wheat injured by being too large In the fall, by being planted too early. On the other hand we Virould neverat- tempt to count 'the fields where the yield has been made lighter by', being put in too late. There are some farmers who will dis- agree with us in this respect. In some sections of the state or rather= some farms, the planters do not care if the Wheat comes up in the . fall or not. This may be all right and if these men can get good yields of wheat this war, all well and good. But on an average of the whole state,, from one end to the other, by far and above the best wheat of every year is the wheat that has had a chance to get a good vigor- ous start in the fall. This wheat has better protection in the winter time, It hold § more snow and the 'frost and thaws of early spring do not effect it so easily. And when the big chlnook winds coax it into growth, the root is better developed and in far more advantageous position to absorb the plant food that is released in the soil. The wheat is in a position to take ad- vantage of eVery help that nature of- fers. The wheat that is just sprouting has a handicap to overcome. Some- times it does it, that is true, but such will not happen every year and the totaled average of season after season leans heavily towards the wheat that Is planted early in the fall. ••••••••••••••••see••••••• • • GOOD ROAD MAXIMS.
