manager Of the model farm which is OPP

prevalent warm weather, with plenty OF
sunshine, has AFFORDED ideal opportunities
for the planting Of the aerly crops.
Cabbage and lettuce plants have al
ready been set Jout and are doing well.
But little apprehension is felt that the
cold wave anticipated about the last of
the preseut month will affect them In
any way. The cabbage plant Is capable
of standing a temperature OF IL degrees
above zero, while the lettuce plants VIII

plowed and fortified and is now ready
for the sowing of potatoes. The plants
win not appear above the ground, how

after the plants have come up, covering
of pine straw will protect them,

Farmers Are Urged
To See Farm Train

incidental with the tour of the agri-
cultural train, Secretary Treasurer ]. T.
Mcdaniel, Of the Farmers union, has is
sued letter, urging members of the
organization to meet the train at as
many points as possible. His letter says:
1.-The Farmers union has labored in
cessantly to educate the farmers to real
lie the Importance of improved methods
of agriculture.
1.-THE fact that the organization has
been able to arouse its membership to
partial realization of these new i'm
prOvements has made this agricultural
train possible.
THE Farmers union has never been
able to bring to you demonstrations and
except thBgGgh its lecturers and liter
aturapsswhich, at, best, aroused only a
sE9all per cent ofe-those engaged in
the agricultural pursuits.
I'VE have been asked to furnish some
one along with this train to give out
information In regard to our organizh-
ton and to lend a helping hand in
making this train a specific benefit TO
the individual farmers. In order that
this may be done the more effectively,
1 am writing you and asking that you
get busy at once and see TO it that
every farmer, and every farmers family
in your section visit this train when it
passes through your place. 1t will only
take few hours for you to get on your
horse, or in your buggy, and start the
news through your community, and by
aid you can easily notify every
man, woman and child in your eomnu-
nifty.
THE information gathered by visiting
this train will be of more value to the
people of your community. than I can
express, hence 1 urge upon you to meet
this train without fail, and don't forget
that we want all of your neighbors.,'
