Farmers Can Learn Something.

The Chouteau county fair to be held
in this city September ID and IA will
be an occasion of interest to farmers
who wish to learn what other farmers
are doing, and how they do 1t. The
information will be worth while, and
it can be obtained without expense.
There will be no entry fees for ex.
hibits, and no charge for admission
to the fair. Exhibits of all kinds
from all parts of Chouteau county are
desired, and visitors from all locali-
ties will be cordially welcomed.
No latter what sort of farming you
are doing, you q learn things abou,
your own business every day. The
man who Is not going ahead is surely
going back. You can't stand still
without going back in this age o.
hustle. The crowd goes on and leaves
you. One way OF learning what your
neighbors are doing, is to attend the
fairs and study their exhibits.
You can see what the best OF then
are doing there, and compare results
| with your own. The best farmers arr
those who study. They are Away
learning. If they make mistakes, ani
they all do. for farmers are just a
human as other men, in spite OF COM
peoples ideas, they take those mis-
takes as Lessons and do not repea
| them.
