The right time to buy is when every
body wants to sell. but few do so. Once

Whenever any commodity is selling be-

proposition to invest in it. This motto

On many of the stock farms Of the
west the land has become too rich TO
produce a profitable crop Of small
grain. the straw growing so heavy that

cussion at a farmers institute lately.
A crop of fax TO precede the small
grain was agreed upon as a cure for

The bane of western agriculture is
the one year renter From the very
terms of mis- lease he becomes a rObber
of the soil, ever seeking to cover the
largest possible number of acres with
the least possible labor a fertility
skinner, a cerial nOmad, an agriculture
al tramp. For his existence and almost
wholly responsible for his bad and
blighting work the owner of the land is
alone to blame. Just so long as land
lords are willing to consent to the i'm
poverishment OF their farms year after
year by refusing TO grant any save
yearly leases just so long will we have
the yearly renter with us. When land
lords get sense enough to realize that
the interests of landlord and tenant are
mutual and are best promoted by long
term leases and proper stocking up of
a farm to consume the products of the
farm, then will better and more sensi
bic method of agriculture prevail on al
rented land.
