Making Farming a Business.

TOO many farmers in America
today are merely giving them
selves hired mems jobs. What
the farmers need is not only
large production but profitable
production, says Carl S. Vroo-
man, assistant secretary U. S.
Department of Agriculture, re-
Gently, Farming is a business
just as much as running a steel
plant, a bank or a saw mill, but
few farmers have attained the
ambition of the business man
who expects to make interest on
his investment, wages for his
time and a profit besides. From
the standpoint of pure agrono-
my, they say our average yield
per acre of wheat, for example,
can be doubled. In the mean
time, we need have no fear of
over-production.

Spending More Economically.

How could you spend $100 to
best advantage on your farm?
Do you believe in the adage that
"a stitch in time saves nine?"
They who neglect the repairs on
your buildings, the up-keeping of
your fences, the improvement of
your soils by proper drainage, the
use of lime and fertilizers? How
many hundred dollars more prof
its could you make this year if
you spent some money this spring
in improvements-in making
your farm more productive and
more efficient as a business con-
cern?.

{. Y. 5. Ms. Notes.

The spring term opened Tues
day April 4th. The disagreeable
weather did not interfere with
the enrolment, for by Monday
evening, the building was full of
the new and returning old stu
dents. Every day of the week
has added to the enrolment, and
while the number for the term
cannot be definitely stated now,
there is belief that the total num-
ber enrolled for this term will
reach 500 and maybe more.
The Normal Literary Society
will hold its 42nd Reunion on Fri
day evening April IA. The pro-
gram will be very interesting
one. The following persons from
Fulton County will take part in
the exercises. Misses Hamil,
Kirk, Lehman, Johnston and Ed
wards, Messrs, Wink, Lehman,
Barnhart and Johnston.
Miss Helen Edwards, of Hus-
tontown was elected Glass His
torian at the regular class elec-
ton of the Spring Term.
Prof. HARRISON has been busy
shaping his team for the base
ball game with Dickinson Col
lege April 18th. Fulton will be
fortunate in having Barnhart,
Wink and Lehman on the team.
We feel sure that Barnhart will
show US some real baseball as he
was the Home run" king of the
Blue Ridge Leage last season.
The following new students
from Fulton County have enroll
ed this term: Florence Edwards,
Hustonthwn; Olive Lodge. Nc
Connellsburg; Beatrice Mellott,
Hustontown; Cecil Mellott, Big
Cove Tannery, and Clyde Stable
Lashley.

Springtiwe on the Farm.

Are you ready for spring? The
common question among farm
ers in the fall is are you ready
for winter?" Robins are back,
the green is getting into the
trees, the wild flowers are here
again, and the season of 1916 is
under way. Among the things
that you were going to do last
winter were the following: Oil
ing and repairing the harness;
repairing machinery, making i'm
provements in the barn, stables,
and other buildings; ordering
your fertilizers, seeds, trees and
plants; testing the seed corn;
trimming fruit trees and spray
ing for scale; repairing and build
ing new fences, walks and gates.
Some have been done and others
remain undone. Why not con-
tinue to get ready now for the
harvest season by utilizing your
spare time to best advantage?
