month in the year, on the farm
SO many things to plant and
everything needing work at once.
Much depends upon getting the
crop worked before the grass can
get a start. May is the crucial
time. If a farmer can manage to
do everything as it should be
done in May he is pretty safe for
a good crop.
2. We are all behind on &C
count of so much rain and cold,
but do not get in such a hurry
that you can not do your work

stand you get, in the rapidity
with which the crop will grow
off and the thoroughness and
ease with which you can cult
vac it.
3 We all feel pressed on &C
count of the scarcity Of labor.
This is largely due to the fact
that all want to spread out on
account of good prices, but reflect
that if we could all make as
much as we desire the prices
would Immediately come down
to their former level. So the
scarcity OF labor is not an unmi
tigated evil. Do not undertake
to cultivate any more than YOU
