man brush and seed his land first?
Re, ause the old timers who have been
through the mill pronounce it to be the
Ec&t method of getting a farm started
and it pays better than any other
method. Jack LindOO says a man
should use a pillow on new farm only
to pillow cradle knobs and a garden.
l.. f. McGill says he does not like the
looks of a new acre of land plOwed,
smOOthed. disced, picked up and fin
iShed for crops. He says it is the
wrong system and the first cash crop
often does not pay the expense OF put
, ting it in. He says that to brush and
seed is the first thing and blowing
should wait few years until the
roots of the brush have rOtted and the
clover has drawn the nitrogen from the
air and made the ground ready for
crops. He says he never plOws except
to DIow clover under and he is never i'll
a hurry about blowing as the hay and
pasture land pays better than any
crop that can he raised here.
As Mr.. McGill has built up farm
adjoining I4adysmith on the north. his
experience should have weight. al
though it might not correspond with
the advice of experts. Brushing should
always be done with fires where it is
possible to get results without doing
damage. Frank Hughes says that much
good has been done this fall by fires

Farm Bureau Federation, at the sec
ond national industrial tax confer
ence held recently at New York City.
Tax money is absolutely necessary.
but the farmers are paying more than
they can stand at the present time and
any additional tax would help put
