AT 1T.

A Mighty Good Argument to Trans.
late Into Shoes.
Portland, Ore.-One of the towns
local merchants showed a farmer a
buggy, priced at 500, and the farmer
kicked, because twenty years ago his
father bought one just like it for $50.
Then the merchant looked up the
sale and found that the father had
turned in 300 bushels of corr for that
buggy, and he told the farmers son
to deliver to him 800 bushels of corn
ard he would give him:
One $4,000 buggy.
One $500 wagon.
One $4,000 suit of clothes.
One $4,000 dress.
One $500 baby dress.
One $500 crib.
One $500 box of cigars.
$1,000 worth of sugar.
$1,000 worth of tea.
$780, 90 worth Of gasoline.
$500 worth Of lubricating oil.
The total figures $4,000 as the
value of 300 bushels of corn, and it is
needless to say that the high cost of
living disappeared from the farmers
mind, and he bought the buggy.
Some such reckoning as this might
he a good thing for those people who
never stop to consider the other fei-
lows troubles.

"FALL FOOD ACRE"
Campaign For Planting by Individual
Farmers Is Inaugurated.

Farmers Is Inaugurated.
Washington, D C., July 12-(Spec-
ial)-As an effective means of re-
leasing a large proportion of the food
and feed stuffs grown in the South
for the use of the armies and navies
of the United States and her allies,
the Southern Railway System, in CO.
operation with the United States Ag-
ricultural Department, seed dealers
throughout the South, and local bank
ers and business men, is carrying out
a campaign for the planting by in
dividual farmers of a "fall food acre."
Arrangements have been made by
which the seed houses will put up as
sorted packages of seed of standard
food and feed crops which can be
planted during the months of July,
August and September, and which
will furnish food and feed for the
farmers family and his livestock in
the fall and winter months. These
packages will be supplied in quanti-
ties by the seed houses to local bank
ers and business men, who, in turn,
will sell them at cost to farmers in
their communities. The County Agents
of the Uuited States Agricultural De-
partment will cooperate in this cam
paign and will aid in the distribution
of the seeds and in advising farmers
as to the best methods in planting
and c%ultivating.
Owing to the limited supplies of
seed available, it will probably be i'm
possible fully to supply the demand
for these "fall food acre" packages,
and the distribution will necessarily
have to stop as soon as the available
supplies of seed are exhausted.
Bankers and bushes men in territor-
les served by the Southern Railway
System who may desire to act as dis
tributors of seeds in their neighbour
hoods can obtain full information as
to how to proceed, by addressing Mr..
Roland Turner, Chief Farm Products
Agent, Southern Railway System, At
lanta, Ga.

1t is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
