' • Rwiwlfe: I' Good Seeding Pays for Itself I TVRILLED grain always stands a better chance than ■ Av broadcasted grain, particularly in. dry weather B When you drill your grain it reaches the bottom of t.«e I *ed trench and is covered to the proper depth. AU I the seeds germinate, grow, and ripen evenly. An even. ■ heavy crop invariably is the result. And the ext J a ■ yield more than pays for your work of seeding carefully I with a drill.

i when we will produce too good ! things. Club work and the govi eminent is endeavoring to teach | the farmer to produce economically. The government is still asking us to grow a hundred bushels of corn j to the acre. j "The trouble is. we are producI ing surpluses with marginal land ! which never should have been farmI ed. During the war we added 50 I million acres of land to the amount J under cultivation. In addition we bought automobiles, tractors, and machines which released 20 million acres, which formerly fed horses and mules, to the cultivation of crops of which we now have a surplus. It will Im- necessary to quit farming these 70 million acres bei fore there will be a profit in agri--1 culture. “The rural home is the greatest stabilizing unit of government in . I the country. There the family disi! cusses the problem of running the farm. The children learn to meet ■, problems as they arise. Other inii portant factors are the rural • churches and schools. They will • prevent the American farmer from - being driven into peasantry as he J is in almost every other country in ■ | the world today. “The lack of parity between the farmer's dollar tfnd the industrial i dollar threatens these institutions. Since 1921 the farmer has I’eon suf . feriug from low prices which final ly precipitated the depression of f 1929.

I However, he hoped that some coni ■ promise might be made with Indus • try in regard to tariffs and imports i . in order that trades might be es i feeted with other countries. He I said he believed Secretary of Agrii culture Wallace was working on : the theory that other countries I could not buy from us unless we - bought from them but he realized the difficulty of carrying out such -a program, bi the meantime it will - become necessary for the farmer to limit production to demand as industry has learned to do.

I don’t know i of a better investment than farms and agriculture." TWO KILLED AS TRAINS CRASH Passenger Train Collides Head-on With Freight In lowa i , Dubuque, la..

There’s Bill Brown, who sells life insurance, and Betty Brown—who was a Jones before she married Bill. And there are the two Brown children: Bill, Jr., and Griselda. Like a thousand other families, the Browns are just starting to lift themselves out of the count-every-penny circumstances which the past few years imposed on them. But they have one advantage. Betty Brown studied economics during that time. She didn’t enroll at the University. She didn’t take a special home-course by mail. She learned a great deal about buying from her daily newspaper. She followed the advertisements. She compareci price and quality, and struck a practical balance between the two. Today she knows how to buy so that Bill’s bank account can begin to grow again. And she hasn’t got pinch-nosed by doing it. In fact, one of the Browns’ greatest delights is planning the weekly shopping tour. They virtually make a game of it, and always a profitable game. You ought to know the Browns. They haven’t the money they once had. But it won’t be long be!ore they do. And in the meantime, they’re living well’ Shop Through the Columns of the Decatur Daily Democrat EACH night your merchants offer you values you should take advantage of.
