Missed its familiar knell
For more than century calling
a mothers voice soft falling
In gentle cadence down
Upon the Nesting town.

Attuned to sorrow 5 moan
Glad notes OF peace outwinging
Where hearts with Joy are singing
In danger, calming fear;
Bugle note loud and clearl
With invitation sweet
Urging where brethren meet;

Keeper of day and hour,
For you are loved right well,

A man in the corn belt started twelve
years ago without a dollar save a
team and a limited farm equipment of
machinery as a renter on an eighty
acre farm. He had made a study of
corn and set out to raise the best and
the most corn possible. He succeeded.
in getting a yield of 80 to 100 bushels
per acre, while his neighbors had to
content themselves with thirty or forty
bushels. He now owns the farm which
he rented. has a modern farm home, is
out of debt and on Easy street for the
rest of his life, and what he has found
out about corn is rated by his neigh
bOrs to be worth as much to them as
any information which the %agricultur-
al colleges can give. When a man gets
so that he can raise this much corn to
the acre there is not very much more
for him to learn about corn.
