MIDDLE BUSTERS

Cy Adams says: "Farm imple
ments prove their value in the field
but they soon lose all the value il
they are left there the year round" F"
An investment in an edasstiou
pays good dividends when directed
toward farming The same as IN any
other profession.
Ownership creates Interest, The
farm boy who owns calf or pig
will have more interest In the farm.
Wasted soil fertility with the re-
sulting low crop production means
q low standard of living on the farm
p Better roosters hatched from eggs
laid by high producing hens could
soon double the average egg produc
ton of the Arkansas hen. which
would mean an increase of about
100000 in the normal egg pro-
duction of the state.
Good farm animals don't just hap
pen, they are the result of the use
of good purebred slres.
The use of legumes as soil lmprov
ers isn't a new idea; the old Romans
knew their value.

very much like Cinderella must

SIDE by the great Princes Of
Magic! After the eats and
speeches, there was a magic show,
and they did heaps of things as
wonderful as changing a pumpkin
into a golden coach and a white
rat into a fOotmam!
There was q time when magi.
clans not only mystified me
they terrified me. thought
they were strange enchanted crea-
lures who by a wave Of their
wand could change you into a
fan or flower and that they
never ate baked potatoes or corn
ed beef and cabbage like us other
folks. For years 1 hoped a ma
gician would ask me to choose a

audience, but it took me ten years
to get up courage enough to ask
one when they did.
