Farming & Great Business.

Viewed from all sides, farming is
great business. And it is as real,
live, substantial and serious business
that the farmers should regard and
conduct their affairs. Fortunately,
system is rapidly revolutionizing the
business. In the golden northwest
the successful farmers are managing
their estates like great manufacturing
plants. There are no leaks, no slip
shod methods. They are piling up
magnificent crops and are making for
tunes. Through Kentucky and the
south, too, the farmers are beginning
to look upon their occupations as a
sure-enough business and not as a
speculative pastime.

That girdled You and the roses tall.
And my footprints show a deeper red
And a crown Of thorn Is on my head
Yet the vision stays with me all day
