Co*; ‘‘Corn growing, ns we, know,-is profitably limited to a small portion of the agricultural world* although corn to some extent is grown in al­ most every state in the union, ape to a limited amount in Canada* By far the greater portion is grown in what lp known ob the corn belt, so called, The corn Helds of the United States produce on an aver age over S,OdO,000,000bushels of corn ;o f this quantity seven states: name­ ly Ohio, indiant^ Illinois, Missouri, Iowa,.Kansas,.and Nebraska pro due? about 1,400,000,000 bushels. Of these states it m igh tba said that Com is king. That i» fos&y tljese seven states produce •nearly three - times as much earn ps the other jthlrfcy-elght. -, .

I p fac t i t would no t bring the price of production* I attended two f a rm e r s ' In stil tut©* th is w in ter, A t one ou r s ta te speaker would have us believe if we were to p u t th e greater p a r t ,of our farms in to blue grass, we could raise and fa tten our ca ttle and sell them d ire c t from the pastu re with no thing to do ourselves b u t sa lt them and take the money. >; A t the o ther one our speaker told W« tried to m ake us, believe if we would sow ou r farm s to alfalfa, all we would have to do was to make hay , as the ra te of 6 tons per acre for which we could easily get, $20.00 per ton in th e mows. How easy and simple e ith e r plan, appeared as represented by them .. But, alaB, - -how- impractlcabler -— - My plan ou t of the situation la th is: Stick* to your hush. Keep on about a s yoti have found by experience is the best method for you In ypur-cir- cumstances and condition# Bo not be discouraged-,' T ry to raise a little mpre corn from each acre. Not so marty hogs, ptfe&ttl’e,. or. sheep, or liorSeS',,hu t ebch one o f each kind a .little better.

' ’ > ‘ Apply this principle to all our bus­ iness qffalra. The best th a t we do is opt too good. I dono t advocate theabpo lu taru le of feeding a ll .the co rn 'or hay oh the farm* I have m ade it a p ractice not a s e t rule. to., sell some corn apd h ay almost every year.

The same will hold good In regard to a ll kindB of live stock.
