Practical Farm Co-oper
ation.
This is admittedly an age of
improved machinery and ad
vanced methods in farming. No
longer is it possible for the man
who arms by the old methods
and with the oid tools of our
fathers to com ete witn his more
progre sive neighbor. If he'un
dertakes it he is sure to go down
in defeat.
But right at this point the ad
vocate of advanced methods and
improved machinery is met with
a staggeringoppjsition. Thous
ands of small farmers tell him
point blank that they cannot af
ford the great outlay of money
necessary to stock their farms
with the latest labor saving im-
pliments
And it is the solemn truth.
They can’t afford it. It woulu
bankrupt them to undertake it.
What, then, is the answer?
One word —CO-OPERATION!
Co-operation in buying and u ing
the more expensive iinpliments.
Consider Ihe number of days
in the year you would use a
wheat drill, or a disc plow or
harrow, or a binder or a mower,
orany one of a large number of
implements that are absolutely
essential to successful farming-
today.
It will easily be seen that un
less a man is so well-to-do that
he could afford to ha.ye capital
tied up and lying idle, the plea
of the small farmer that he can
not afford tile modern tools is
the sober truth.
But there is a remedy to co-op-
Oats Badly Injured
Atlanta, Ga , March 1. —Whi'e
the recent blizzards fhat swept
the3tatein rapid succession were
beneficial to the fruit crop, in
that they prevented the trees
from budding prematurely, there
was gederal and severe damage
to the oat crop, according to
complete reports from all sec
tions of the state secured by th?
department of agriculture, Es
timates range from 50 to 75 per
cent of the crop destroyed.
Watch Edison!
A year or s-> ago it was an
nounced that if this nation is
forced into war Thomas A. Edi.
son would spring a new imple
ment of warfa.e of incalculable
value to our countn and its de
fenders. We are even now on
the brink cf war, and Edison is
in his secret labortory with an
armed guard around him day
and night. Watch Edison!

What, then, is the necessity
for each one burdening himself
with a heavy outlay to p.ovide
all of the needed tools when hi
burden c in just as well be dis
tributed among a number with
the same satisfactory results? |
Arn’t there a number of farm
ers in this community who could
profit by this plan?
If you do not want a partner
ship ownership, fearing possible
disputes and resultant ill feeling, i
let one buy a corn planter, an- j
other a drill, and so on down the
list. Then Und back and forth, j
and you get the same results.
But make it co-operative, decide!
in advance just what tool each is I
to buy, and GET EVERYTHING 1
THAT WILL REDUCE YOUR
EXPENSE AND INCREASE
YOUR YIELD.
Think this suggestion over,
friends. One or two or three
hundred dollars saved on equip
ment could be well invested in
live stock and other crying ne
cessities on many farms.
It is safe to say that no other
class of people in the country
carry as much ‘dead” capital as
do the farmers—the very class
who can least afford it.
The logical way to release this
capital and put it to work is
through co-operation as above
outlined.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAT, APPLICATIONS, es they
cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca-
turrh is a blood or constitutional discane,
and in order to cure It you must take in
ternal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure Is
taken internally, and acts directly upon
the blood and tmieous surface. Hull's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It
prescribed by one of the best phy-
the best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combina

Why Not i lave
Perfect Lenses?
Improvements and better
ments in glasses are just as
frequent as in anything else.
Until a few years ago all
lenses were flat, because ..no
one had thought of a better
way to make them.
Today nearly 90 per cent of
lenses fitted are Toric lenses,
curved to follow the shape of
the eyeball.
Tories give a perfect range of vis
ion from every angle—the edges do
not confuse you when looking from
the corner of the eye.
Let us demonstrate the many ad
vantages of Tories made by us.

Dead Sea Not So Dead.
Tho nnmo “Dead Sea” nowhere oc

by writers before the time of Christ.
The name was evidently given to the

life existed in it. But some low forms
of life are found in the water, and
many small animals and birds live
near the shores. The great tragedy
of Sodom and Gomorrah may also
have led to the bestowal of tlie naxno*
