newspapers have, been the greatest

what they are today. There is no bet

his home paper comes to him like a
long lost friend. It just seems to me,

DON'T DEPEND ALTOGETHER
ON WHEAT

Wheat is. bound to be high next
year; raise all you cam" is the text
of articles appearing in many pa
pers; and indeed it seems to be the
opinion of many that this is the pro-
per thing to do.
Eyes, wheat may be high-very
likely will be as high or higher than
it is now and if sufficient yield per
acre is obtained, no doubt wheat will
be profitable crop next year.
But do you remember those years
when the average farmer did not
raise enough wheat per acre to wad a
gun?
DO you remember the years when
in many localities even the best far
mers didn't cut an acre of wheat; and
when much of the wheat cut did not
pay for the expenses?
"Do you remember those years
when the wheat failed by reason of a
few days of hot wind -or from black
rust when other crops came thru
all right?
Haven't you, most of you anyway,
been exerting every effort to get
away from exclusive wheat raising !?
Haven't you realized the Importance
Of getting into stock more? Haven't
you been raising some corn, a little
winter rye, a few acres Of potatoes
Haven't you discovered that there
are several varieties Of forage crops
which will do well practically every
year, and that by exercising proper
forethought you can produce feed for
stock every year?
"Have you noticed the splendid
green of the alfalfa fields this fall,
even in the localities where a few
days of whitening winds cooked the
wheat?
"Do you remember the years when
wheat was high and you hadn't any
or only a very little, to sell; the years
when the wheat you did raise cost
you from $1.50 to $1,000 a bushel
and more, to produce?
q What good did high prices do you
then?
Then why should we plunge on
wheat? Haven't most Of the-~old
timers been stung enough?
Safety First
Safety First is coming to be
well nigh a national slogan. First
the railroads took it up and some of
the companies have achieved won
derful results by pounding the idea of
safety into everyone connected with
the road, from president down. Then
factories all over the country took up
the idea, with the result of wonder
full savings in producing cost, in adj
dition to the saving Of life and limb
The idea has now been introduced in
to business Of all kinds, and while the
original idea Of safety first was to
safeguard the business in every pos
sible way.
"And why shouldn't farmers adopt
this slogan?
eff it is good for business of other
kinds, it is good for the business of
farming.
"Let us apply the knowledge gain
ed through the years and this idea Of
safety first to this matter of wheat
raising.
Don't put all your eggs into one
basket. = Dakota Farmer.
