mistake to let matters drift when boy

most sure to fall victims of St. Vitus

to other troubles. Regular meals, out
door exercise and plenty of sleep are
'-h necessary to combat the nervous wear
of school life, But it is still more im-

There is one outstanding thing
about ,the development of Canadian
farming 'which you: '.and I ought to
recognize and use to better advantage, a
and that is. the fact that we re not
learning as much from the people and
things right around us as we shouldlearn,
No individual ,is very original, The
man who appears to be most original
is, for the most part, merely applying
ideas which lie has picked up here and
there. Few of us ever originate any-
thing out and out. We merely go a
step farther than something we have
seen or heard about. How of

a few times succeeded in solving them
in this way. But I have come firmly
to the conclusion that the best way to
study farm problems rs to study them
on farms of the men who have worked
them out in a practical way.
I have found that most of the prac-
tical problems which experimenters

From City to Farm.We are continually hearing about
the farm boy who goes to the city, but
we hear little about the city boy who
•gees` to ,:the farm, Yet, -Just as many
farm hogs have become successful
business men in our cities, so there
are undoubtedly many city boys who
have become successful farmers. This
!is more especially true in the conn-
f tries that are being newly opened up,
stick as Western Canada. Among the
winners at the International Soil-Pro-
ducte Exposition held at Kansas City
recently at least one, if not more, of
the successful oaliibitors was born and
bred in a ritzy At only became a farm-
er after he had reached manhood.
John W. Lucas, who won prizes for
white oats, brome grass seed, barley
and rye, had never been a farmer un-
til he settled on his homestead in Cay -
ley, Alberta, sixteen years ago. How-
ever, lie has set to work to learn a
he could about this noble profess:
and ziobody can say that he has ma
a bad job of it.
Mr. Lucas was born in one of ti
cities of Eastern Canada. Like man
other boys whose parents are in
moderate circumstances he earne
money after school hours deliverin
newspapers and in various other od
jobs. heaving school, he says, he go
a real job at six dollars a week an
later carie West and woiked in `Vi
nipeg for a year. Ile had always fe
0 desire to become a farmer, howeve
and it is not surprisiug that the eall
of the Canadian Government for se
tiers for free Homesteads at once ap
pealed to hint. He came to Albert
in 1903 and located on his homestea
in Cayley, in the southern part of the
province, the same year.
He is now the owner of eight hun
dred acres of land in a block, and i
interested, besides, in six and a hal
sections of land ---4,160: On his farm

The success of John W. Lucas
f J should be inspiring to many a city
boy. '"Any boy can do what I have',
rdone in this country," he says. "All
it needs is persistence.'" To this may
be added patience and a desire to ex-
cel, qualities possessed,, by most suc-
cessful men, whether in city or cowl-
-
r all winter growing crops, inelud
g rye, alfalfa, clovers, etc,, but it
frequently happens that when the
covering is most needed the snow is l
not there. Progressive farmers have
learned out of practical experience 1
that a very light covering of strawy P
manure or straw is of the greatest b
value to these winter crops when the
snow is elf the ground. This straw d
stays after the spring opens and pro-
tects the plants against the excessive
action of freezing and thawing on the 'b
root system. Neither is the time re-
quired for the application of the straw 8
w sted since the fertilizing element a
contained therein and the effect upon
the physical condition of the soil are p
just as apparent as if the material H
had been applied to ann. other crop f•

y be mare urgently required at
tsonablc work,
of wheat to the acre. The quality o
tis oats znay be judged from the fac
hat for live years he won the premie
tenors for this crop at. the Alberta
rovincial Seed Fair. He has also
een a regular exhibitor and prize
winner at the International Soil Pro -
nets Exposition and other exhibitions
held in the United States.
It has been Mr. Lucas' ambition to.
mime a good fanner and he has
pared no efforts to ]earn all he could
bout his pro/mien, He spent the
winters of 1912 and 1913 in Iowa as
art of his agricultural education,
ere he visited some of the best
arms in the State, asked lots of ques-
ons, saw a goad deal and Game away
itiz as much knowledge as he could
gather, He considers these two win-
ters spent -in Iowa among the best in-
vestments he ever made. Ho learned
much` about horses, cattle and hogs,
and also how good farriers select the
eat of corn, how in this way they in-
crease the yield, producing ears true
to type and uniform in size. He figured
that if corn could be so much improved
by selection the same thing could be
done with the heads of wheat, oats,
barley and hills of potatoes. He came
back to Alberta and began to use this
knowledge. Not only has he increased
the yield of these crops, but has im-
proved the- quality and type as well.
Instead of fields of oats barley and
other crops with heads or all sizes he
has now fields of these grains with
heads nearly all alike. By hand selec-
tion of potatoes, saving only the pro-
lific hills• true to type, he has been able
to produce as high as, thirty-seven
marketable potatoes froone hill, and
from one potato planted a yield of
seventy-three pounds of potatoes.
This is a record difficult to beat may -
where.
