According to the report Of The Sec.

1911, the farmers of the United States
produced necessary things of agriCul.

Of nine billions of dollars. This value
Is an Increase over former years in a
ratio greater than the population. Yet
prices mount upward. This fact Is
not only noted in agricultural prod,
ucts but in manufactures of nearly all
descriptions.
In a speech of Mr.. James G. Hill, the
great railroad magnatc, he said that
the manufacturing plants in the Unit

far more than the demand for the
product; vet prices of those same
things steadily increase.

Upon close analysis Il does not ap-
pear that The high cost of living, e..

pie. Is owing to high living" II may
be true and probably is true to some
extent that the high living of the very
rich and even the well.tO-dO is diffusod
throughout the economical lower
classes or wagC-carncrs. Enormous
sums of money taken from capital and
invested in the production of luXurios,
which the foregoing classes use. must
necessarily limit the production Of
those things necessary to all people.
The following delightful little bit Of
comment is taken from 'Life": "What

demands simmer down to the same
thing. tO.wit: larger share OF the
available power and money for those

that all the moisture in the soil will
be needed.
2. Make hay cut the peavines
as fast as the pods begin to turn and
take care of everything that will
make good feed.
q. Refrain from pull fodder, and
arrange to save the corn crop in a
more economical manner.
4. Begin preparations for the fall
seeding. Work all land to 60 into
wheat or oats into fine filth just as
soon as present crops come.
5. In the cooler part of our territory
SOW crimson clover; in all sections
get seed of clover, rye, the vetches,
ect., and be ready to sow them for
winter cover.
6. Plant an alfalfa patch the last OF
the month; also rape and turnips for
late fall and early winter pasture.
7. If the pasture turn dry, give the
COWS some extra green stuff; keep

grain to the pasture, if early fatten-
ing is desired.
8. Clean up inside and out-keep
the flies out; drain the mosquito
breeding places; whitewash and dis
infect the poultry houses and pig

1t has been the aim OF the
Highland Live Stock snow
Association from the outset
to encourage stock ralseFs to
breed UP in all classes OF
stock and boost the fact by
exhibiting the same annual
ly at the stock show.
To carry these ideas OF the
association into effect and
getit on firm financial basls,lt
was necessary-with a limit
ed means-to work on con-
sentative lines to meet the
heavy expense, and as last
as these obligations can be
paid off the associations will
be more generous in prizes
andin extending privileges to
county exhibitors. What
the show and exhibitor need
is cooperation.
Every one should feel an
interest and see the advant-
age of a stock show in the
county. More strangers learn
of us by it. 1t makes more
buyers and puts us in the
progressive class.
This year, colts, cattle,
sheep, hogs, etc. will be
entered free of charge. Send
to the secretary a list Of
stock and number of classes
you wish entered so they
can be recorded. Don't put
it off. All the classes can
