EDITORIAL

I do not like to hear the preach
ers insist that we're vile, worthless
creatres, and all that sort of bunk;
you'd thinV. to hear some pastors
talking, th.it everything we do is
shocking, and that the race is junk.
Thoy say we're so depraved, ungodly,
our souls are all deformed so odd
!y, we ought to eat the dust, and i
sackcloth wear, and sprinkle ashes
upon our whiskers and mustaches
and grovel till we bust. I can't >
imagine OoJ admiring such groaning
ciawling and perspiring; It must of
fend his si^ht; for lnen were fash
loued in nis image, and in his
passing scrimmage they ought to
stand upright. How God must
weary-of our whining. when we
should stand with faces shining and i
banners to the breese; there'll be I
objections sis or seven if we go '
? raw ling into heaven upon our hands
and knee?. God shies at worms as
much as we do, and our hopes
we merely hoodoo when we our
we merely hoodoo when we our
selves abase: so I have Quit this
thing of cringin'; I tell the Lord
I'm a good Injun, and look Him In
i. ic face. ? Walt Mason.

1 aiu aware that It is also a
question whether nature or learn
ing contributes most to oratory.
This inquiry. boM'eyer. Ijas no
concern with the subject of my
work, for a perfect orator can be
formed only with the aid of both,
but 1 think it of great Impor
tance how far we consider that
there is a question on the point
If yon suppose either to be In
dependent of the other nature
will be able to do much with
out learning, but learning will
be of no avail without the as
sistance of nature. But If they
be united in equal -parts 1 shall
be incliued to think that when
both are but moderate the in
fluence of nature is nevertheless
the greater, but finished orators.
1 consider, owe more to learning
than to nature. Thus the best
busbnndman cannot ImpruYe soil
of no fertility, while from fer
tile ground something good will
be produced even without the
aid of the husbandman. Vet if
the husbandman bestows his la
bor on rich land he will produce
more effect then the goodness of
the soul Itself.? Quintilicn.
Farmers Should Be Thorough
Business Men
By J. A. BEXELL, De?n of the Orefon Airicultural College
School of Commerce

OREGON BOYS STUDYING FARM BOOKKEEPING. -
IF THE FARMERS OF AMERICA WERE AS CAREF'Ui. A3 OTHER
BUSINESS MEN IN KEEPING EXACT RECORDS OF THEIR
BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS. YHEIR INCOME AND LIABILI
TIES, THERE WOULD BE F^R LESS BUSINESS FOR THE
MONEY LENDERS, FAR fEWER FARMS VORTfiACED TO THE LAST
FENCE LINE AND MORE AUTOMOBILES Itf *TKE COUNTRY THAN
IN THE CITIES. ^
It is doubtless true that the farmer U becoming a FACTOR TO
BE RECKONED WITH IN THE BUSINESS WORLp!; that
the average farmer knows vastly more about scientific farming than
his father did. He understands more thoroughly the value of proper
cultivation, of fertilization, of rOtationr of crops and of diversified
farming, but it cannot be said that be owes his success to -IM
PROVED BUSINESS METHODS. lie has been sooiessful
rather IN SPITE OF HIS IGNORANCE in this respect and be
cause of the kvish generosity of Mother Nature.
A farm may be forced to yield to its maximum capacity, labor
may be managed properly and waste reduced to a minimum^ and yet
the net result may be a loss at the end of the year. As a. general
economic prooosition it might be said that large crops often result in
serious loss to society as a whole. If the net value to the consumer
is less than the labor and capital expended on the crop society is tbe
loser by the difference; henoe the importance of a THOROUGH
UNDERSTANDING BY THE FARMER as well as by the mer
chant and manufacturer of tte laws and methods of exchange or com
merce.
