some noteworthy advance. To our 90
900 subscribers therefore we are glad
to announce this week that Mr.. w. F.
Marshall, more informally introduced
to our readers several weeks ago, has
now been formally installed as asso-
ciate editor of the Progressive Farmer,
and as such will have a conspicuous
mad responsible part Of our perennial
task of trying to make each issue OF
the paper just little better than the
preceding number. An all-round news
paper man of unusual ability, farm
bred and with a whole-hearted inter-
est in the improvement of farming and
farm life, man of the highest char
acter and of such personal charm as to
make his friendship an inspiration to
those associated with him, we count
the Progressive Farmer rarely fortu-
nate in having secured his services"
