DELAWARE FARMERS a


Of carrying-on their business; for
farming is a business as well as a
profession. The era since the
great war, has brought changes of
methods and forms of conducting
all kinds of business, so that the
man or woman who ignores this
fact, must experience disappoint-
ment as to financial results as well
as the results of producing farm
crops. Labor is ample, if the far
mer farms by improved ways. It
will be economy to throw into the
scrap heap, some tools and imple-
ments and adopt others which re-
quire fewer individuals to produce
the same results. The results will
by use N improved way, show a
-prvnt; where the old system will
hardly break even. Tractors must
replace horse-drawn machinery and
a community plan of ownership Of
crop-saving equipment will get pro-
fit where there is now frequently
loss.
But the chief point to be learned,
is production of various kinds of
crops, according to the suitability
of the lands under cultivation by
the farmer. The farmers need
more study of their own conditions
and the character of the soils which
they operate, in connection with
practical business methods. They
= lore the opportunities offered
them through the schools, the col
leges, the agricultural departments
and consider suggestions, as sim
ply dreams of those who theorize.
There is where they fail. They
should remember that what one
man in neighborhood has accom-
pIished any other man can accom-
plish, if he will try as intelligently
and wisely. 1t is simply intelligent
application of plans and proper
consideration of what others have
done, for them to get the same re-
suits. When the farmer doubts his
own ability to accomplish a pur-
pose, he is whipped and failure at
the start. Delaware farmers are
Just as intelligent as those of other
states, and all they need is ambi-
ton, which they may be forced to
apply to their own work and busi-
ness, to get success financially.
Now is a good time to start.
ONLY TWO years ago there were
few ready-made radio sets on the
market, but today radio as a neces-
sity for the home is admitted as
first aid in creating an interest for
education. A home without a receiV-
ing set will soon be rare indeed.
Especially valuable to a farm or
rural home, by placing at will the
best music at all hours Of the day.

entertain the family or the visitors.
Each home with a radio will be-
come a community centre for the
local neighborhood, and through
these local gatherings will come
better understanding by the people.

creates a community spirit and
wider view of even the ordinary
social duties that make better
homes, better farms and better fin
ancial results at the end of the
years.
The missing of broadcasts by day
or night will be considered as SER
ious an injury to the American

The great advancement of the SIN

The earlier sets, is an example on
What has been done in radio eng1-
