MUCH ADVICE GIVEN FARMER
Though AsricuIturist Is Target for
Much Instruction He Must Solve
His Own Problems.

To the Officers and Members OF the
Farmers Union: The American farm
er is the most advised man in CIVIL
cation. From the president OF the
country, right on down the line to the
village constable, they all take snot
at the farmers woes and offer MN.
absolutely free, ways to cure them.
Whenever the "uplifters" have notn-
ing else to do, they tackle the rural
problem" and solve 1t while you walt
to their own satisfaction at least.
Now the farmer, like every other
man, ought to be glad to and general.
ly is glad to accept qualified advice
from qualified sources But he would
no more think Of telling college presl-
dents or bankers how to run their IN
situations than he would of trying te
teach a captain how to navigate ms
ship. Advice to the farmer, therefore
to be. effective, must not only be d1s
interested, but must be competent
Above all, the farmer needs to beware
of the sort of advice peddled by the
average politician. It isn't accurate 10
| the first place, and 1t isn't disinterest-
ed in the second
By this I do not mean to say that
| the farmer has not plenty Of sincere
| counsellors and earnest friends at MS
command. He has. But being IN the
advice business myself am tellns
him he had better look sharp at the
doctor before he has the prescription
| filed.
AS have emphasized dozen time
the successful solution Of the farmers
problems depends, not upon any out
side source, but upon himself. NO poi
/ itician, no college president, no sclent
list. NO banker, no lawyer, can wave
away his troubles for him. he mus
face them and by his own brain ant
muscle master every question and %
stacle that arises in his pathway.
/ With all his boasted independence
the farmer has been a powerful Gus
toner to lean on the other fellow. ~
must learn to lean on himself, Whe1n
er in individual farming or In MS o.
sanitation movement. He must q
more thinking for himself and accep
fewer statements from his many &C
yising friends-until he has teste
them thoroughly by the gauge or Oh
) common sense.

NV aunt has beautiful parrot

with no greater expense than little

Of the family.
One of the first essentials IS TO Sc
cure a beautiful lawn in front OF the
home. The grasses best adapted 70

in making the lawn.
It is desirable to use row OF shade
trees along the road and also along
the driveWays of the home grounds.
number Of trees may be planted neal

shade to hot, sunny porches or soutl
windows.
Shrubs should generally be masse'
about the borders of the home ground
and in the rear.
: Vines may be used to good adyar

We may use fruit and nut trees 10

LOOK AFTER LITTLE THINGS
Southern Farmer Has Devoted SO
Much Attention to Cotton That
Supplies Are Neglected.

The southern farmer has run along
for years trying to raise cotton and
at the same time neglecting the little

and provisions refused IN many IN
stances to finance another cotton crop,
or, in other words, to furnish the
farmer to make the crop because they
know that the farmer will be unable
to meet his obligations in the fall.
The cotton farmer as rule mas
