OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
OF THIS COMMUNITY

1t was announced in this paper last
week that more detailed program
for the farmers meetings to be given
was to be given in this issue of the
Herald, and it is hoped that the far
mers of the surrounding community
will be interested enough in their
problems to attend this series OF
meetings and help work out the dif-
ferent questions that will be discus
sed. Mr.. Ford, the specialist. in di-
versified farming, will be here in per-
son to help out with these meetings.
He is man of considerable exper-
ience along this line. both in organi,
cation and actual practice.
The meetings or classes will be
weeks, beginning Jan. 2S, and ending
February Sth. They will begin at
two O'Clock each afternoon in the
Agricultural building just south of
the main High School building. They
will last for about an hour and
half and will be conducted in the
form of class on the question and
answer basis. You farmers will ar
rive at your own conclusions on each
subject discussed and naturally the
more men that come out for each
meeting the better will be the results
that are obtained from the discussion.
We will start out with representa-
tive Phillips oos.nty fairn and go
through all the main problems con-
nected with the management and
equipment necessary for that parti.
cular type of place.
Do you know from year to year
how many acres OF corn you should
raise on half section of land? How
many acres OF wheat. rye, alfalfa or
clover? How much live stock Of the
different kinds you should have on
thar place? How much land should
be under cultivation. how much In
pasture? What varieties OF pasture
grass to plant? What crop should
/ follow another year after year and
so on through the rest OF the pro-
blems that come up In diversified
farming.
II you don't know all these things.
and don't know how to make appllca.
tion Of these different problems. re-
member that you are given an oppor-
unity to study them in company
with other men IN your same fix. un.
der the direction of one who has
made 1t study and business to
learn these things.
Remember the slogan that was
given you in the papers last week.
Come the first two days, and II you
are not convinced that you are being
offered something worth while. you
will not be asked TO waste your time
coming back" Isn't that fair enoughf
II you won't come for any other reas-
ON. then come out OF curiosity to see
what is going on.
