1T would be an excellent idea to
take some rainy day and carefully 60
over the farm machinery, putting ev
erything to rights. A missing nut or
bolt, pillow point, or a broken part,
can easily be replaced now, but later,
at the height of the rush season,
machinery out of repair may cost US
many dollars because of delays. Get
everything ship-shape now for the
"bg drive"

There never was a time when it
paid to farm like it does today. Every
farmer who possibly can, should endeav-
or to do more farming this year than
ever, and if his sons have any brains at
all, they will discover gold mines in
wheat, corn, tobacco aid potato fields,
instead of trying to hunt for them in
shorthand and typewriting. or while
ringing up nickels on street car.
