desire to state to the farmers of Ford
county that they cannot spend to much
time and attention to the exposition, as
all farmers are cordially invited to make
this their headquarters while in the city
during the remaining two weeks of the
exposition, and there is the place where
you can meet and talk up your best in
terests for one another; the best seeds to
plant, when to plant it, &c. l will ven
ture to say that there is not farmer in
Ford county that spends few hours at
the hall will not gather some new idea
about farming which will be of vast
benefit to him the coming year, and l
would particularly call your attention to
the tree culture which is of vast import
ance, every farm er should plant at least
two or three rows around his farm and
it will soon break these long, sweeping
prairie winds, thereby retaining moisture
for your crops, and the sooner you turn
over the buffalo grass, so much quicker
you will besinsured good crops, less hot
winds. Now every farmer can plant
trees if he chooses, as they cost mere
nothing, as we will have nearly 100, 900
trees to give away this year at our Forest
cry Station, and you should all be up and
dong, and put in your application for
trees and be one to set an example of an
energetic farmer, and l would suggest
that the farmers set one day next week
for Farmers Day, and all turn out to
make one grand agricultural meeting
some farmer set day and We will adver-
tise for you free of charge.
The main features on next Saturdays
display will be the ballot box opened at

pose of..casting your vote for Cleveland
