Fortunes for Farmers 



going a little deeper than the roots and a little 

 higher than the stalk, to t-ap the various strata, 

 the results being striking. 



Oar present methods of feeding crops are rule of 

 three in its last stage of clumsiness. Irrespective of 

 the seasonand the chemical or mechanical condition 

 of the soil, we deposit lumps of crude manure 

 somewhere near our plant, leaving the rest to 

 chance, with horrid waste. Electricity is life, 

 stored up sunlight — and we can picture the farmer 

 of the future, administering each day to his 

 crops and soil their current demands. Perhaps in 

 dull wet years he will be able to compensate for 

 the absence of sunlight to some extent; certainly 

 he will farm scientifically, and will obtain his 

 reward. How great, the future will show.
