LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Fann Work Also Delayed in Southern Michigan. In renewing his subscription to The Democrat, under date of May 116, John W. Clouse of Buchanan, 'Mich., says: We have had no real spring weather up to May 14. Only a few farmers sowed oats first week in April, most of the oats will be sown between the 10th and 20th of May. Don’t know when corn planting will begin, not much plowing done yet. Rained most of the time in April and up until the 10th of May was freezing and frosting when it quit raining. The severe freeze of April 23, 24, 25 did not seem to damage the fruit. Spring wheat, oats and late cabbage that grew volunteer in the fields last fall wintered without injury and grew fine all spring. But winter wheat and clover sown last fall were considerably winter killed. Our threshing ring of 22 has bought the largest size oil pull threshing machine and will be ready to take care of the crops, also AH silos. The farmers in this vicinity stick together on everything like that. Any neighborhood of farmers that will stick together and work for the Interests of their neighborhood will prosper. On account of so much rain no road work was done until the sth of May and roads were about Impassable over so much of the country that it was necessary to do the work with an oil ipull engine with grader attached. This oil pull engine will put several miles of riftids In good condition in a week' The factories at Buchanan are working day and night to fill large orders but some of their workmen are leaving and coming out to the farms, some buying their farms and others buying residences in Buchanan at $3,000 and up. The factories are home builders. I often heard this remark when I lived in Indiana. "Will it pay to buy a rundown or 'abandoned farm? i bought a farm that had been abandoned for 15 years. First crop of corn made 50 bushels; first crop of wheat made 30 bushels per acre; 'hay, two tons per acre. A Jasper county man bought a farm adjoining mine a year ago. He bought up some unimproved abandoned land adjoining his farm and the first crop of oats made 75 bushels per acre. Almost paid for the lend, for which he had given SSO per acre. This spring unimproved lands adjoining what he bought sold for SIOO. We think when land doubles in value In a year and the first crop pays it out, it is a good investment.

What Doughboy’s Mother Thinks of Lassies of Salvation Army Overseas

What the American doughboy, the "overseas service man especially, thinks of the Salvation Army and its work In the war zone Is as an oft-told tale, wherever America’s youngest veterans get together. But here is what a Yank’s mother thinks of the •‘Army” and its splendid overseas record and in writing of It she quotes from letters received from her son in France. She’s a typical Michigan mother is Mrs. William Hoffman, 151 Stewart avenue, Jackson, although her story is typical of the same expressions that have come from Indiana mothers, especially since the an, nouncement of the Salvation Army Home Service Fund drive for 113,000,. 000 during this week. Mrs. Hoffman’s letter is quoted from the Jackson, Mich. "News” as follows: •■To the Salvation Army and whom else this may Concern—which should be All Humanity: I just want to express my heartfelt thanks to the Salvation Army. Although I am not a member of any religious organization it is my duty as a mother who has a son In the war to tell you what he has said to me in several of his letters. In one, written since the signing of the armistice, he says: « ‘Ma, last evening I listened to a sermon by a Salvation Army man who had just been away from the good old U. S. A. nineteen days. It sure was go6d. He told me what the folks back home were doing and It sure does make a fellow feel good. Guess 1 grew a foot listening to him. " ‘ln one of the papers I noticed that the Salvation Army Is trying to raise a fund of ?13,000,000 to finance itself for home service. If ever there was a deserving organization, It’s this one. In our last big drive the Salvation Army lassies were with us. scarcely taking time to eat and if their canteens were with or without supplies there was always that ever welcome smile and that ever needed thread and needle.’
