will not be as well of starting at
seven years instead OF six. Anyhow,
he or she will be better of starting
at seven in good school than at six

noted that under such system as

RAISE THE BEST.

As we have said before. farmers
have a right to say to their local mer-
chants. II we buy from your shelves
you buy from our farms" At the
same time merchants have a right to
require proper grading and packing.
The following note from a Tennessee
woman reader is interesting In this
connection:
"A hay merchant in Memphis told
my husband that he bought Western
hay because Southern hay was Of
such an uncertain quality that he
could tell nothing about II except by
opening each separate bale. II we
would learn. in the South, to make

our farmers would be patronized
