The long winter evenings ahead afford aft ideal opportunity for us
to learn more about our work. The state experiment stations and
state departments of agriculture are regularly issuing bulletins and
other publications that can be made of immense service to us; if you
are not on the list for these, we urge that you write for them at once.
The United States Department of Agriculture at Washington also is
printing hundreds of free farmers' bulletins dealing with nearly every

Perhaps the time was when farming could
be successfully done without study; but that
time has gone, forever ."The new, cheap
lands are gone, and with their passing have
come problems in : soil-building and farm
management that are no less difficult of . sol

ask for those that you are taost interested in. Then there are excel)

feeds and feeding, dairying, hog-raising,
farm management, and so on, that are

progressive agricultural age before you,
it is a fine thing these long 'evenings to
gather the family round the fire and study
and discuss these problems in detail.
In the days ahead, as never before,
"the leading farmer will be the reading
farmer." There is much, very much, to
learn, it is true; but as we learn, as the
great vision of what applied science will
mean to the farmer of .the future un-'
folds before us, thetaslc will be one of
joy, and to the thinking, reading, studying,
working farmer, no other calling, profes
sion or business offers greater or surer re
wards. Let's be up andat our splendid jobs!
