A Minnesota Expert Cslls Them Slow, But Advises Westerners to Qo East The cheapest improved farms In the country today, all things consid ered, are in central new xorx in tne thority than O. C. Gregg, supertntend estlmatlon of a no less expert au- ent of the Minnesota Farmers' Insti tute coarse. Mr. Oregg has Just re turned from a five weeks' lecturing tour with the Farmers' Institute staff of that state.' Mr. Oregg found a somewhat dis couraging state pf affairs among the farmers of that one-time famous agri cultural section. Many have moved to the West and among tbe remaining " ones there is a general feeling that their section has seen its best days snd cannot hope longer to meet suc- fAaafllllv thm mmnotlHAH if Ih. The fine courage and hopefulness of the Western farmer are rarely, found there.. Instead there are gloom and discouragement and general apathy. After a careful study of tne situa- - tlon, Mr. Oregg became convinced that tbelr condition was nothing like as desperate aa the farmers tbem- MWtlrtn has atfll YfAllmt crrlMiHur! , possibilities and any progressive Western farmer would be nerfectiv safe, he holds.

"Several causes have contributed to the present condition among the farmers of , New York." said Mr. Oregg today in reviewing the situa- uou as oe saw ii. nrsi, me tana is in most cases badly run down from overcropping and poor farming meth ods. Too much of the profits of the farm must now be spent for fertilizers. Derorestation bas also contributed to tbe result Following the removal of the trees from the hills and slopes, the rains washed the fertility away and left' unproductive bind. The high price of feed stuffs Is another , bar to profitable farming there. But tbe chief source of the trouble In my opinion Is the unprogresslve methods. of tbe New York farmer. I was slm- ply astonished to see in that old. .set- . tied country how little attention has . been paid to scientific breeding of1 dairy cows. The herds as a rule are poorly bred, and with the prevailing, high price of feeds, can give but a very small margin oi profit. ' I am ccr- talnly surprised at tbelr lack of appre-1 ; elation of the value of Improved urcediug methods. Is this respect t the ' farmers there are much behind " ours of Minnesota. The silo, bow ever. I found to be In general use, and this la good, so far as it goea. "The remedy for the conditions there la, to ray mind, to be found In ' more and better cows, better feeding methods, reforestation of the bills and . slopes, greater attention to tbe culti vation of apples snd Intensive farm-' ' Ing ot the land best fitted for agricul- turla purposes.
