TIE TINES is good news medium,
and | venture. is as good as the best
county paper in the State, and guess is
read by more people in the county than
any other paper in the United States. Ii
is home paper, for home people and
home people are to be ben, fitted 10y il.
and home people are to make it, or max"
it still better. 1t can be made better We
admit us the pinacle of perfection is Sc
dom reached by any.
Let the farmers of this county write shot
articles. telling of their snccess or failures
in making crops; where they made II
mistake and consequently IL failure Oh n
certain crop, or hog raising, etc, ard
visa versa, where their judgment serv.d
them right and they made a sue :es'
We farmers need these experiences and
it would do us us much good, or ough,
to. as an article written by some one afaI
off, and in Il far off farm journal. 1t
would D5 READ by more Uhinn c)untv
farmers. feel sure TIE TINES would
publish such, and that il would b. im.
proved by that feature.
