Not more land, but better land;
not more work but work better
planned; not more fields TILED,
but fewer fields titled better.
Keep all the nuts and bolts
snug in place. Your machine
will last longer and do better
work.
Oil the bearings often. The
horses would thank you for it if
they could. Makes the machine
wear longer, too.
Sow only the plumpest, incest
wheat this fall. Run it through
a tanning mill and take out all
the foul stuff. Good seed is half
the crop.
The twentieth century is siren
uous, complex and democratic.
One-third of the young men OF
this age are not wanted because
of their habits; but trained, loyal,
cheerful, sober-minded young
