THRIFTY FARMERS OF RYEGATE


ment in Agricultural Processes.
At the opening meeting of the Board of
Agriculture at Ryegate ON Thursday Mr. ID.
A. Mcader was elected chairman. Rev.
Daniel Harris gave very cordial welcome
TO the Board Of Agriculture assuring them
that the Reygate farmers were all waiting
for this meeting, willing and more than
willing to be advised and instructed in the
art of agriculture. Our time now is yours,
and we wait for suggestions as to what we
can best do This is an age of the world
when knowledge is power, and we farmers
of Ryegate are in search of that knowledge
that will give Us power On the obstacles
that we meet in our every day work. We
ask YOU to tell us how to make our homes 50
glad and happy that our sons and daughters
will return to Us and live with us, and make
this the best land of the earth. socially and
| morally and rcligiously
The subject of" Road building was opened
| by Mr.. Sanford of the board This subject
has only been on the board since last winter,
but was put there at the suggestion of the
| governor, VINO wished Us to interest the
farmers in the subject which was 50 impor-
tunt to the State.
| Mr.. George COChran-In your LAYING out

road, would You leave it all to them?
| would have those men care for the road
under the supervision of the commissioners.

horse, tip cart, shovel and pipe, if he is an

miles of road, staying with il all the time
and caring for it. One good faithful man
will take care of good many miles of road.
