Boost the Easter Opening season.
Let everybody do something to make the Easter business opening a boom season for Greenfield.
There are some sure signs of a business awakening in Greenfield. Cooperation of all our citizens in the interest of the whole community would work wonders, and there seems to be co-operation.
We have published in this issue the first of a series of articles written by Mr. Thad Snow of Blue River township upon the production of alfalfa. Mr. Snow is one of Hancock county's •young farmers who is introducing the most progressing methods of farming &nd who is making a success in the
business. The success which he is attaining is not due to mere accident but it is the result of intelligent effort. The articles which we will publish will not only prove interesting but they will contain many facts and suggestions, which will be of especial benefit to farmers.

...Farm News...
Many farmers are sowing clover and timothy seed. All the farmers are anxious to get at their spring work. The long severe winter leads them to hope for an early spring.
This time last year a great deal of corn ground had been broken. There was more winter plowing last year that had ever been seen during the winter in this vicinity. This year there has been no winter breaking at aH.
March came in like a lamb. Many of the farmers, who have been able to do nothing much but look after their stock during the severe winter, are in hopes that the old weather prophecy of the lamb and the lion will not come true this year.
The farmers are deeply interested in the raising of hogs this year, as they expect the price to continue such as to make the business profitable for some time. They report brood sows as scarce, however. There are very few fat hogs in the country ready for market, though there are quite a number of bunches being fed. Speaking of the interest of farmers in hogs on account of the attractive price, reminds us of the fact that there are very few of the farm products but what have a strong demand at attractive prices. Hogs is only one of many. Horses, cows, wheat, hay, poultry, butter and eggs, also cattle and sheep.
Seed oats are being looked after. Many farmers have purchased seed outside of Hancock county.
A big crop of corn will be put out this year for the same reason that farmers are aiming to increase their production of hogs.
The supply of good farm horses is not equal to the demand. As a result, farmers are paying high prices for good heavy work horses.
The wheat crop in most places is looking pretty good. There is quite a demand for farm hands. This part of farm business is getting to be a perplexing feature. Hands are scarce and hard to get. The most desirable farm hand now days is the man of family who can live in a tenant house on the farm.
Altogether the prospects for a prosperous year on the farm is good. It looks like the farmers are sure to make money for at least one more year.

2. It is worth the price. 3. You can assuredly get it if you will pay the price. 'The truth is that the experimental stage with alfalfa in Indiana has passed by. We know positively that it will grow upon our farms if we treat it right and we know just as positively that we have to treat it right to make it grow. If you do not believe with me that this is the accurate statement of the case, I must say, I hope without offense, that it is because you are not well informed on this subject. "In proof that alfalfa can be grown upon our soils, one need only offer the fact that alfalfa is being grown and has been grown for a good many years under conditions perfectly similar to ours. It is not possible in the space allotted me here to tell of the successful fields that I know of personally in a number of counties in this State. There are several excellent fields in Hancock county. I believe I have observed some pretty fair alfalfa in my own township, not far from the city of Westland, ".Now if we are convinced that we can grow alfalfa if we want to, the next thing is to decide,, whether we
want to. I think I shall assume the negative side of the debate and enum-
SMOfSTOE QBESTiOttS
How were lepers treated in those clays? How had this leper probably leorned that Jesus had power to heal him?
Did .Testis desire tnat this leper should never tell who had healed him, or that he should tell the priest first, and thus get his cure officially recognized before telling any other person?
If Gad wills he can do anything, but to how many of our requests may we be certain that he will say "I will?"
What proftipted Jesus to grant the request and to heal this leper? Verse 5—What was the position of a centurion, and if he had been some obscure person, would Jesus have treated him jrst as courteously?
Verses 6-7—What benefit is it to us, to-day, to bring our sick ones to Jesus? So far as the records show, Jesus while in the flesh, heaJed all the sick ones that were brought to him, is that sufficient to prove that he will do tl^e same to-day?
Verses S-9—From the commendation which Jesus afterwards gave him, was not this man more worthy than he thought?
What rue the relative moral values of thinking too mucn, Or ttiiliKlns little of ourselves?
Why should not a man be blamable for folly if not for sin, for having an estimate of himself, whether for or against, other than the facts warrant?
What wns the ground for this man's sublime faith, and is such faith possible, for ail of us, when we pray for specific things?
What is the force of the centurion's analogy between obedience rendered him as a general, and the instant obedience of the laws of nature to the commands of Jesus "Speak the word only?"
Verse 10—What reason is there to believe, that in every nation, and under every form of error and superstition, men are found who fear God, and that all who do fear him are accepted of Mm?
Verses 11-12—When it comes to a matter of personal salvation, what advantage did the Jew have over the Gentile, and what advantage has a man from a Christian family over one from the family of an infidel?
What is the reason for the belief that many heathen will be saved in that day, and many church members shut out in the darkness'?
Verse 13—Have you any reason to believe that this man's faitli and its results, are other than typical of cases that are "constantly hapiening?
Verses 14-17—Does God to-d»y purrtorf. to ci'r«? o'ir sick m.iraculoqs! ', like these car.es, or are these ex*" tions! and for a special purpo.-e" (This question may have to be answered in writing by members of the club.)
