Tho Farmers Golden Oppor'
tunity.

Nowhere in the wide world mas
anyone profited more from the
war than the American farmer.
Prices of cotton, rice, sugar, gram
livestock in fact everything the
farmer has to sell are higher than
he ever dreamed of-and the end
is not yet.
Unlike the farmers in France,
of Italy, Of Russia, and OF other
countries in the war, the Amerl
can farmer can 60 about his WORK
sowing in the spring and feeling
sure his fields will not be over
run by the enemy before harvest;
reaping in the firm knowledge
that his stored grain will not be
seized by ruthless invader.
IT'S true the farmer has his
troubles. Help is hard to get,
and the cost of production goes up
month by month. What the far
mer has to buy also advances
continually in price, but the far,
mer, unlike the city dweller, can'
If he desires, purchase very little
and still get along. His living is
right on the farm. What he pur'
chases elsewhere is largely lux
uries. He can sell now while
prices are high, and buy later
J he wishes, after price 60 down.
In fact it would be wisdom If n
would follow this plan. Cut dow'

this connection it seems strange that
we in the Estates" should be so tardy
in appreciating the beauty of the mu'
sic and folklore Of the "Pearls Of the
Pacific" In some mystic manner the
balmy, never ending summer, the
crystalline waters, the beauty OF the
fields, mountains and dells seem to be
reflected in the weird but enhancing
Hawaiian music.
For the delightful sketch which the
quartet presents the young women
appear in the native Hawaiian dress
each playing skillfully upon the uku
lele, the peculiar instrument OF the Is
lands. The mingling Of the ukulele'S
plaintive tones with the four voices II
the native songs produces an euec

BEGINNERS SHOULD

beginners in live stock husbandry to
overstock before being possessed OF
the requisite knowledge of how to-
proceed successfully in this line OF
farming practice" says W. H. Dalrym'
ple, of the Louisiana State University.
THE successful raising of live stock
RAY be considered a specially, and
those whe would succeed should begin
in a relatively small way and increase
the number of their animals as they,
themselves, gain In knowledge and ex-
perience.
"rn the case Of hogs, for example,
this applies in a very pronounced man.
ner. and the error of overstocking with
brood.sows Is more likely to occur
| than In the case of any other animals
of the farm.
"The production of hogs at this time
Is extremely important, and yet the be
einner with too many sows may not
succeed nearly SO well, in the ultimate
outcome, as the man who makes a rea
sonably small beginning and grows W
with the business.
"Hoss, under ordinary conditions
are very prolific animals, and thei1
natural increase would be liable tt
overwhelm the beginner who was no
familiar with their necessary require

Suppose the American army
