IMPROVE The FARMS.
This win Prove Large Factor 10 Making
Farm Life More Attractive.
Sidney, Feb. 1, 1909.

Editor Record:-I have read
with some interest an article by
j. A. Line in your issue of Jan,
29th, on advertising the resources
of our country to the world,
which is capital idea.
The great boom on western
lands is due to great extent to
a pretty free use of printers ink
Men of means answering those
advertisements and investing in
land out west has caused the
price to soar beyond the reach of
ordinary mortals likevr-Qayself,
hence the necessity for us to ad.
vertise our own section.
would suggest that in order
that our farms may show to ad-
vantage to the prospective buyer
that we make some Improvement
on the premises. Clean out the
fence corners, put in quarter OF
a mile Of wire fencing here and
there, and build up the old rail
fence with the rails gained by
the wire fence, paint the dwell.
ing, build a neat yard fence, put
new hinges on the horse lot gate,
and if a land buyer does not
come along by this time, begin to
improve your land by resting and
fertilizing it. Plant more COW
peas, SOW a little more wheat and
oats, plant about three or four
acres more corn and drop off
about two acres of cotton.
| honestly believe that il we
would do more along on these
lines we would appreciate our
homes more and that home would
mean a great deal more to US
than at present. So, farmers of
old Sharp county, let US, one and
all, try to make the most Of our
farms that we can, take care Of
them and try to make them bet
ter, so that the next generation
may be proud OF their Inherit
ance.
MIR, Line, let's have your plan.
