does, and that is the reason the bank

maybe ea 3 lot OF them would like to
do. to the man who is farming. Then
this drives the man who is farming

the supply merchants. finances; not
on. th, enormous 10 to IL per cent. In
terest, but on the yet more enormous
80 to 200 per cent. profit demanded by
the time merchant. That is the condi-
ton our farmers are in today. and
that is the condition they will stay In

In the beginning Of, Bulletin No. 1877,
Practical Orachard Pruning. Of the

is one Of the mpst important opera
tions In the successful handling of
any orchard and tits very essential
where the best, results are desired
from any fruit plant. Unless pro-
perly oruned, no fruit tree OF vine
Oh any sort will produce fruit OF
maximum size, color or quality, nor
attain a full and proportionate de-
yelopment of its wood parts. The
number. of unpruned orchards all
over our state furnish striking exam-
pies of these facts. They fail to give
profitable returns in many cases for
no. other reason than that they are
allowed to remain from year to year
without being pruned.
This condition is generally de-
plored by the owners and exists
not from an absence of good inten-
tions on their part but on account of
lack OF definite knowledge OF how
to prnne and the benefits to be de-
rived from this practice. believe
there Is no person who makes any
attempt at growing fruit who does
not desire to produce the best. It
is our purpose, therefore, in this work
to point out in q concise, Practical
way, the fundamental principles Of
pruning and the. methods Of pruning

One OF the interesting features OF
the grain campaign which has been
started in. this State is the addr ess by
A. G. Smith to the farmers. Mr..
Smith not only is an authority on
I farm management and is an agricul-
turits Of distinction, but he is also a
native Of the corn belt, and having
spent his youth and having been edu4
/. Gated there, his views on the question
(. are doubly valuable. In reply to
has said that there is profit in corn.
! 80 proved by the success OF the IL
lthois farmers. The farmer there gets
an average OF 55 to go cents a bushel
s for his corn, but he has no fertilizer
,sbtll to speak of. However. he has but
the one crop year, whereas the
thrifty and industrious Southern far
i mer may produce two crops Of Sif-
ferent kinds, the one fertilizing the
, other and and each making a. profit.
| The Western farmer on his corn
alone makes a profit. When the price
rof corn occasionally runs too low for
him to mako profit, he uses hogs as
q side crop, and in this way, insures
his profit, for the hogs fatten on the
grain on which there would be no
profit and there is good profit in hogs
in that manner. .s.5i.iii
AS to Elevators.
When asked at several places about
the advisability OF an elevator system,
Mr.. Smith has stated that his idea Is
that an elevator for the handling of
grain would be impracticahle unless
the farmers in the contiguous territory
SHOULD agree to produce for the eleva-
tor 100000 bushels over. and above
their own requirements. Very frankly,
Mr.. Smith, stated that. there is. no de-
mand3 for elevators In every corner Of
the. State and some places will take O
risk, in building unless there,is 9, def
mite understanding among the farm-
sers To- produce the grain. In some Sec
