darker color and by folds Of skin

ARE YOU PLAYING SAFE?

The past few months have brought
up in no uncertain terms before most
of us the old question of diversified
or one crop farming. The ,Grm man.
agement department of the Iowa ag-
ricultural college has been doing a
lot of investigation to find out the
proportion of farmers who make
good and those who fail by one crop
methods and by diversified sources
of farm income. They found that the
farm which derived between ten and
thirty per cent of its total income
from the. sale of crops and the bal
ance from livestock was on the SAT
est basis in the long run.
