Farm Hand Prosperity.

Farm hands in Marshall County can
save money if they want tor "a Their,
if they know how. .-. =
There are plenty Of farm hands-who
have goodly accounts in the savings
banks; others have practically nothing.
In this respect they are exactly like
city workers save money others
save nothing. -.
The man in the country is not badly
paid, despite the current belief to the
contrary. Most of what he gets in
wages is clear money. The city mans
wages, on the other hand, are gross
and what he really earns for, himself
is ascertained only after all expenses
have been paid.
Thrift is the, essential thing in
country and city. 1t doesn't make SO
much difference in the long run. where
you happen to be employed one
essential is, how much do you save?
That's the only criterion worth a
whOp.
The money a fellow handles doesn't
count for much; it's what sticks that
counts.

\ tweed meeting" was held week or
two ago at Drayton at which George
Walton, Weed Commissioner of Winni-
peg, was the principal speaker. The
weed problem is getting to be big one
all over the valley and farmers realize
that in order to do their best to raise
the food for which the world is clamor"
ing today, this problem must be met in
an effective manner. 1t seems to us
that in this matter the farmers clubs
can be Of great service in arousing
farmers to the Importance Of weed con-
troll and securing community co-opera-
ton in weed eradication. Here is a
matter also, it seems to us, in which a
county agent might make himself very
useful to the farmers. He can advise
as to the best methods Of fighting the
Weeds secure concerted action on the
part Of farmers in doing so, and urge
thorough cultivation and compliance
with the weed laws.

One result of the new Income Tax
Law, no doubt, will be to compel farm
ers to keep books, showing the receipts
and expenditures during the year.
Many farmers who are in the habit of
keeping these things ''in their head
will find some difficulty in filling out
their Income Tax blanks and in many
cases1the report will be mostly guess
work. No elaborate system of book
keeping lis needed by the farmer, but
there should be some system whereby
he can tell whether or not he is making
money. in any or all branches of his
farming operations.

Wood As Fuel. !

Federal Fuel Administrator, Judge j.
f. MCGEE, has initiated a campaign to
increase the use of wood as fuel. AS
sisting him are the state forester s
office and the forestry department of
the state university. Serious as the
present fuel situation is, it may be-
come worse. By next winter, even the
householder may be without, coal. A
supply Of wood on hand will be the
means Of preventing suffering. Wood
cut now will become dry and in the
best condition for burning when needed
Householders are urged to lay in a
supply at once. In small towns where
cordwood can be hauled in by teams, it
can be secured at a lower price than in
larger towns where it must be shipped
in by rail. It is especially incumbent
therefore, upon those living in small
towns to plan upon woodpile for next
summer and winter.
