THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28 1915
l OF THE FARMERS ,
e —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Business Side Of Farming
There’s no time of year when the farmer can afford to neglect the
business side of farming, the question of buying and selling; and this
means that there is no time when he can afford to neglect the adver
tisements in his farm paper. Just as an illustration of the helpfulness
and timeliness of our advertising columns, take a look a last week’s
issue. :
Now’s the time to get ready for canning fruits and vegetables,
and we have advertisements of numerous good canning outfits and of
lye for peeling peaches.
Threshing time is here, silo-building time 1s on us, and there are
ads of threshers, silo fillers and ensilage cutters,
It’s always in order to paint the house, and we are pleased to see
how many excellent brands of paint are advertised in cur puper. It
looks as if paint manufacturers realize that Progressive Farmer folks
are the sort who believe in paint.
Pure-bred livestock is now in demand all the year round and last
week’s announcements of breeders were especially interesting. Cream
separators are also offered.
Gasoline engines, parcel post boxes, cowpea thieshers, seed peas,
sweet potato plants and seed Irish potatoes for the fall crop were
among the other timely offerings.
Then the Southern Express Company offered farmers help in
marketing their crops, while rural telephones, a new oil cook-stove
for the wife, low-priced groceries, a tobacco truck for use in tobacco
harvesting, and a new terracing machine, were among the other an
nouncements of interest to every farmer who is on the lookout for
business opportunities.
Read our advertisements, and if the advertisements don’t show
you what you want, write to The Progressive Farmer and Joe Martin
will help you get it.—The Progressive Farmer.

Over Cotton Ban, Says
J. J. Brown.
Douglas, Ga.. July 25-—J. J.
Brown, president cf the Geor
gia Farmers’ union, has been
speaking to multitudes during
the last thirty days, from Ten.
nessee to the Florida line, Far
mers are joining the union in
large numbers, bankers and
merchants have a better under
standing with the union, and are
co-operating cordially with it.
President Brown says that Geor
gia has harvested splendid crops
of wheat and oats, and that the
yield in corn will be the largest
in the history of the state. The
cotton crop, owing to reduced
acreage, will be smaller than for
the past decade.
England’s embargo on cotton
is producing agitation and in
tense dissatisfaction, and unless
speedily removed President
Brown predicts a stormy up
rising among the people of the
south.
Just now the specialties of the
union are farm demonstration
work, rural credits, and a better
system of markets.
