“Under the stimulus of high pric

urd, “and since that time it has
gradually decreased until novr we
have less than half that many. A,
similar condition Obtains in other
sections of the country and it is
ny belief chat high prices will again
prevail, and every farmer should
raise all the hogs possible this year.
“The shortage pf labor has caused
hundreds of thousands of acres that
was formerly devoted to the produc
tion of cotton to lay idle, and this
could be profitably devoted to feel
crops. This would require a mini/
mum amount of human labor, and
most of the crops could be harvested

will never again have the surplus of

day. But the cool weather we are
having is bad on little truck, espe
cially gardens.
On account of rtiin, only a few at

go anywhere we want, regardless of

God heard us in prosperity and

the only time fie would be with us.

Hog raising should occupy a promi

THE SUREST WAY
“Agriculture,” said Herbert Hoo
ver the other day, “is a better tov.n
builder than industry. The remark
is one that aeseves more than pas
sing notice. The chambers of com
merce in nine out of every ten towns
in the United States should have this
very fact drilled into their systems.
The majority of the American towns
which now' are straining their sus
penders in an effort to pull factories
in their direction will make more
healthful progress if they forget thtj
factories and extend a co-operative
hand to the farmer.
“Agriculture is the backbone of
the average 3ma!l town, but the town
boosters ar e inclined to forget this
fact. They labor under the mista
ken notion that a good town means
a bigger town and that a bunch of
factories would solve their problem.
The good will and the whole-heartea
support of the farmers in that town’s
trade territory are vastly more de
sirable than faetories for the aver
age town. This good will and this
support will not come unsought and
uninvited. The boosting of a com
munity's agriculture will be bread
cast upon the waters. The town will
progress without belching) smoke
stacks.” —Emporia Gazette.

Bill Jiggers bought hisself a

must-a been a good one fer the
price he had to pay—but Bin

The shortest route to misery,
experience proves to me—is to
monkey with conditions that’s
as good as they can be.
