An Encouraging Word to Farmers.

Over production of farm prod
ucts, too much wheat, oats, corn,
too mahy cattle, hogs and sheep,
is now the cry. We pro-
duce more thar our own people
consume, and foreigners will only
take our surplus at their own
prices.
Is there any light ahead? Yes,
a little. Nearly all of the cheap
government lands have been sold
and western migration for home
stead and cheap land is stayed.
Our population IS increasing at
the rate of 2 100000 a year, and
in less than ten years a healthy
home demand will more than over
take production.
Then the great Deering factory,
which put the first successful
Grain Binder upon the market,

at it more largely and successfully

the farmers to make and saye
money, while helping themselves
by furnishing the constantly i'm
proved Deering Binders and now
ers.
