1--WE Americans are prone to over.

Linscott, New England agent for

that is the accusation made by our Eu.

II 1t is Just wonder II we do not
more often underestimate our posses

I rather think we are justified in some
OF our boastfulness. It Is an attri.

The roads in the British isles are
excellent, but after all New England
has more. and they are just as good,
despite the climatic conditions that
favor the former. The Rhine route in

curse, during this war excitement 1t
is pretty hard to get onyone to do any
thing but run around in circles, but
the greatest business problem we
have is to finance our farmers so that

We believe that II the banks will ask
young farmers and tenants who have
not established their credit, to make
statement regarding what they want
to do with the money, that they Will
take very little risk in advancing
whatever money any farmer Will In

1t is true that the federal reserve

would be very glad to pro.rate any
loss that any bank would make In ex.

wants to increase the production OF
his farm even though his land may be
mortgaged all that It can stand.
Especially in those counties where
county agents can advise and O. X.

no hesitancy in furnishing whatever
money may be required There is very
little risk because the world is short

SAVING COST OF GRAIN FEED

At present prices combination of
six parts corn and four parts bran Is
20 cents per 100 pounds cheaper than
corn alone and has about the same
feeding value as an equal weight Of
oats. BY substituting ten to twelve
pounds alfalfa hay day instead Of
prairie hay you can reduce the grain
ration about 20 per cent. Much rough

may be utilized when alfalfa is fed, for
