All Aesop's Fable.
Miss Sara Squirrel was the harsh
and severe teacher of the little school
at Water Hollow She was an old
maid and her greatest delight was de-
rived from giving her pupils long and
difficult lessons. One day she as-
signed a long theme and announced
that it would be due the latter part
of the next week. The subject of this
theme was to be "Why Frogs Swim
Instead of Fly." It was a difficult
subject; the pupils were gay and
carefree; and Miss Squirrel chuckled
as she thought of how she could
scold her students. She knew that of
course they would not have their
themes in on time.
Meanwhile, the pupils had realized
that she was trying to trap them.
They decided that they would teach
her a lesson They resolved that for
once they would forget their swim-
ming and parties and work together
ami get their themes. So they began
to work; they consulted books of
which they had never before heard.
They wrote their themes and could
hardly wait until Mis Sara should call
for them. Miss Squirel, naturally,
knew nothing of the new resolutions
her pupils had made
The long waited for day arrived.
Miss Squirrel walked grimly into the
room. “Please pass your themes to
the front," she said. “Jerry you may
collect them." Jerry took them and
gave them to Miss Squirrel.
"Why.” she exclaimed with wide-
eyed amazement, "what does this
mean? You have your themes!"
"Yes," said Jerry who had been ap-
pointed spokesman by ills class-
mates, “for once we have our lesson
prepared. You are sorry; you wanted
to fuss at us, but, it Isn't what you
want, but what you get, that counts.”

dling the crop are well established.
Methods of marketing have been d -
veloped so that there is little or no
inconvenience to the producer. The
crop produced is not perishable and
requires little or no preparation for
market. Standard grades are so thor-
oughly established and so well known
that little or no special knowledge or
training is needed to market the crop.
Bankers and loan agencies of vari-
ous sorts have devised means by
which the personal element is a negli-
gible factor in financing crop produc-
tion. With a diversified system the
operator's ability to pay is not so
evident.
The question of land ownership also
has a bearing on the subject. The
land owner realizes that the average
farmer is fairly well informed as to
methods of seed selection, time of
planting, methods of cultivation and
harvesting of the one crop best adapt-
ed to his community. The absentee
landlord has an opportunity to esti-
mute the probable returns from his
land. He can, If necessary, check up
at central points the actual amount of
the crop produced. In this way he
feels certain that his share is being
delivered. Where the tenant has a
large number of different commodities
to dispose of, frequently in small
units, the landlord’s share is to a
much larger extent dependent upon
the tenant's honesty.
The fact that relatively little invest-
ment is required for improvements
and for upkeep of buildings and
fences also makes an appeal to the
owner who is carrying a farm, in
many instances. as his sole source of
income. The result is that a one-crop
system is likely to become dominant
when tenantry is the rule.
A one-crop system enables the
farmer to strike a cash balance at one
end of the year. It is not necessary
to estimate the value of livestock. soil
fertility equipment and improvements
in which his profits or losses may be
found. There is little or no sacrifice
