the Great North Side tract, the greatest
irrigated project in the land.
We should give careful attention to
crop specializing. That is, We should,
/ by comforting together decide what crops |
that We can raise, promise the best re-
turns, and then enough OF us join in
raising this particular crop to produce ID
volume large enough to make for us "a
reputation and attract buyers.
II, for instance, the Rural type are
the very best spuds we can produce, let
us unite on Rurals and make them the
standard OF the tract, and make North
Side Rurals famous as the potato par ex
celent of the world
4 neighboring tract lost no small
sum Of money last year because they
failed in this particular, and have gained
the reputation among buyers Of having a
great variety; so many in fact that it is
difficult to get ear OF one kind and it Ii
the solid cars Of uniform stock that
hiring the top OF the market and this is
Us true OF fruits and live stock as it is OF
potatoes.
The cantaloupe club Of last season was
move in the right direction, and We
should have many such groupings OF
, farmers, drawn together by common in
terests or fads, each group seeking per-
lection in its favorite production, and
p our association, the pioneer Farmers As
q sociation of the tract, may well be uti-
o lized for fostering all OF these interests.
And then we must not overlook the
social side oi life. We have been too
q busy and have had too many perplexeties
, in the past to take much thought of en-
a ioying lite, and some of lis have over
!, worked and have become oyer-dscour-
. aged and the burdens OF pioneering hard
ships have rested with special severity
q upon our women.
want to emphasize what | have said
# to you before that in my candid Judge
. ment we will all accomplish more i'll this
year OF 1912 if We will give more atten-
~ ton to rest, social recreation and good
"a fellowship.
: sincerely hope We will make a good
" start this year towards our Farmers Club
l. House.
