P
Farmers Should "Make a Living." q
(Florida Times-Union.) t,
Advice is the cneapest inmg in me t
world and the most expensive. Often g
when taken as a gift it proves dou- f;
bly expenssive to those accepting it;
and frequently when purchased at an ^
exorbitant price, it fails to produce t;
the results expected or hoped for. Giving
advice to farmers is a very pop- p
ular sport in all., countries, and the j,
majority of those who undertake to 8
get money fromthe ground, otherwise i
than by mining phaccaqes, give rather 0
scant attention to the gratuitous sug- e
gestions, hints and Illustrations of- s
fered regarding their busslness. Yet j]
the advisers are most often friendly. r
They want to help the farmers, jj
Somewhere in the make-up of every
man and woman is the germ of self- n
protection. If the farmers did not a
make crops, where would the people jj
get anything to eat? Even to be add- a
ed would come the question, Where u
would they get clothing to wear? So n
the fanners must be patient and let n
the public advise; and not infrepuent- fj
ly the advice is really excellent. 1,
"A farm should be conducted in as n
business-like a manner as if It were j
a factory," remarks the Knoxvllle 8j
Journal, "but a farm is not only a jt
factory for the production of wheat, ei
cotton, corn, tobacco, oats, milk, beel e:
or what not, but man's primitive
and elementary way of making a Hying
for himself and family from the
resources of nature." This is not exactly
advice, but the recitation of
facts concerning the farm which so J
many farmers appear to overlook. The ;
Journal says that it is not neces- <
sary for the farmers of the present 1
day to go back to the primitive and
make everything needed on the farm, <
including the clothing, because there !
is opportunity for buying many things
made better and cheaper than the
primitive farmer could make them, ,
through the invention and employ- '
ment of machinery and specialization.
But the farm occupied by the farmer
should produce the essentials for car- j
rying on the business, unless in a
section where only a very few products
can be brought to perfection.
Florida farmers have the greatest
variety of products to chooBe from,
and while specializing in some particular
feature of agricultural effort they
can easily devote a sufficient part of
land and time to grow the stock feed
and many things needed for the farm
house. The attention of the farmer
can be mainly upon his "money
crops," and yet there can be the effort
to provide for the family and
the stock. The planting of every acre
or portion of the farm to "money
