Frank Elwell is making preparations
to build an addition to his barn this
spring. Frank built new tile silO
more room, and SO it is on the most
of farms, where ten years ago those
that built new barns, then thought
their buildings were adequate, have
since had to build others or add to
those already built. With land in
creasing in value at the rate it is
every year, the farmer surely has to
use great care in the selection Of
seed grain and also in the improve
ment of the live stock in order to
make the ledger show balance On
the right side. Time was not SO long
ago when it was considered that a
man that was good for nothing else
would do alright on a farm. Not So
today. Farming has, through the adj
vent of high prices, become business
calling for the salt of the earth both
in brain and Drawn.
