MAKE EVERY CENT COUNT,

The Farm and Ranch has the
following splendid editorial on
"Success in Farming when IS
worth reading. We add to the
article that it is also necessary
that the farmer stay with his
work, taking so much interest III
it that he will have no time Tor
running to town and laying
around the corner grocery too
many times during the week.
This is one source OF failure with
many. The article here follows:
"Success in farming consists IN
making every minute, every cent
and every seed count, said Da-

whose wealth was estimated at
$5,OOO,OOO. Mr. Rankin had an

that he borrowed six dollars upon

In making every cent count do
not expect to hold il as surplus

than present day farming. Dav-

We as farmers need more OF the
spirit Of investment, not in min

in farm equipment. Failure to
make such investments is RESPONSE

narrowness, our drudgery and our
poverty.
Let us make every cent count
