FOOLISH GREED FOR LAND.
Usually It Has Its Source in an Al
together Silly Desire to Make
a Display.

We are all familiar with the greed
Of the city man who never gets rich
enough to retire, but who keeps on pill
ing up wealth year after year merely
for the sake of accommodating. He is
the favorite theme of the country
preacher when he wishes to point out
the folly of this world; yet we seldom
hear anything about his rural counter
part, the man who is land greedy and
who keeps himself and family in mar
row, restricted ways of living in order
that he may add to his domain. This
criticism does not apply to the men
who are able to extend their operations
without cramping themselves seriously
and who can make their purchases
yield returns which justify the invest
ment; but rather to the men we occa-
sionally see who have passion for &C
curing land, but who do not stop to
consider whether they will be able to
handle it profitably. A successful young
dairyman who had 25 cows was asked
why he did not increase his herd, in
asmuch as his farm would support
DSCduSc Is oil tudI Cdl
care for with the amount of help find
it profitable to keep" he replied. "I
can better afford to utilize the surplus
products of the farm In some other way
than to so increase my herd that an
other mixer will be required"
The farmer who feels the itching for
more lano" should consider something
besides the price and ask himself
whether the land if acquired could be
farmed economically in conjunction
with that which he already has. II
not, he would do we'll to "go slow
about mourning a burden of debt or in
vesting cash which he has earned by
the hardest kind of toll. The best
farmers are agreed that their profits
depend upon close. careful management
and up-to-date methods which insure
a maximum of production with a min
imum of labor and it is the small. well
titled farms that often show the biggest
returns per acre. The desire to exhibit
prosperity is no doubt the temptation
to which many men succumb wheT
they buy more land than they need, yet
they are often so plain in dress ant
manners that they would consider i
rank injustice should anyone accuse
them of wanting to make a display.

It will be worth all the seif-denial
that one may practice for several years
to see the Worlds Fair of 1904 at St.
Louis. Money saved, earned or Dor
rowed cannot be better spent than in
getting acquainted with the worlds
progress as revealed at this latest and
greatest of expositions. All of us can
not travel around the world to take
note of what the nations are doing,
but the nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
their best works to st. Louis to be
placed on display.
Within the two square miles OF the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at st.
Louis there is more to be seen than
ever was brought together in ten times
the space before. 1t is great collec-
ton of expositions massed into one. 1t
is nearly twice as large as the Column
bian exposition at Chicago. nearly ten
times larger than the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Every exhibit
palace offers the equivalent of splen-
did exposition, each covering many
acres of space.
The largest of these is the Palace of
Agriculture, with its % acres under
roof and filled to the doors with the
most wonderful agricultural collection
ever assembled upon any occasion.
The important states and nations of
he world are all here alongside great
numbers of individual exhibitors. Five
great staples have been chosen for ex-
traordinary display. Corn, cotton,
sugar, rice and tobacco are here ar
rayed as they have never been before
and undreamed possibilities are re-
vealed to inquiring minds. Such dairy
display was never attempted and such
a collection of farm machinery and
tools was never placed on exhibition.
The Palace of Transportation is next
