FARMERS TO HELP IN CLEAN UP
Secretary NTohler Urges That Every
Farm Be Beautified.

The Kansas farm should not be left
out of the statewide cleanup" cam
paign which began Monday and con-
tinues thruout the present week, in
the opinion of J. c. Mohler, secretary
of the state board of agriculture. In
fact the farmers should take just as
much interest and just as large part
in the activities of the week as the
town and city resident, Secretary
Mohler believes.
The cleanup campaign for the
Kansas farmer should be more than
just a cleaning-Up of his premises
according to Secretary Mohler. Every
farmer should avail himself of the
opportunity to beautify his farm home
in every way possible, by planting
trees. shrubs, flowers and other plants
that add much to a home.
THE farm home is no different than
the city home, when it comes to
beauty" in Secretary Mothers opin-
ion. MANY farmers in Kansas have
neglected the beauty of their homes,
in the press of other affairs. But the
farmer has a greater opportunity to
make his home a pleasant place to
live than the city home builder"
IF a greater interest were mani

sameness that is considered an OBJ
jectional feature of the farm would
disappear" Mohler declares.
Moreover, identifying the farm
home is one of the best ways to keep
the country boy and the country girl
on the farm. When the farm boy and
girl visit their cousins in the town or
city, and see the conveniences OF the
city folk, a desire is created for these
conveniences. Likewise with the
beauty of the home. This has no doubt
been one of the great causes for many
of the boys and girls leaving the
