A letter is being sent also to all blacksmiths in 'he county, asking their co-operation for machinery repair week. Would Reduce Surplus. The county farm bureau is in receipt of a letter from President Brown of Indiana Federation calling for contributions and including forms and directions for handling the corn. His letter states "The object of the contributions is two-fold, to save the peoples of Europe, China, and the , from eacn countv and already Porter county has shipped a car, while Wells county has a car wailing for instructions to ship. All southwestern counties in Indiana in a recent convention, stated that they would respond to the call. Illinois started a week or more ago to collect gift corn and every county in the state has snt in a car load or its equivalent of some other product. Some counties have gone as high as 20 cars, and Champaign has contributed 27 car loads. Would Serve Two Purposes. President Davis earnestly appeals to the farmers of Wayne county to respond to this call, as contributions will serve a double purpose of relieving distress and bettering the farmers' situation. The corn will be collected i during the week of March 13-19. Further instructions will be sent out as soon as the pledges are in . It is pointed out that 20 farmers with a wagon of 50 bushels, or 50 with only 20 bushels apiece, could make up a car. Elevators furnished free handling in Illinois, and it is hoped they will do the same here, the railroads have promised free transportation to mills j which will grind the grain into flour free of charge, the railroads will again furnish fre- transportation to the seaboard, (railroad unions have promised free labor from their members' and congress has appropriated money to pay ocean transportation, while the relief organization in China or Europe will attend to the distribution of the food.

( The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn " "-

Not the raising of a bumper crop, but of the kind and quantity that the farmer and his family can themselves best handle alone, is likely to be the policy on thousands of acres this year. Farm wages were the highest in history last year. The cost of all farm production was excessive. From seed to granary and from the feed lots to market, every operation was expensive in comparison with the money received for the farm output. This most discouraging state of affairs will assuredly cause thousands of farmers and feeders to take in sail and to keep as close to shore as possible. Many, still less fortunate will be compelled to curtail their operations for lack of money to go ahead on what may be considered a sane and profitable basis in this time of equalization and readjustment. Farming Is Your Business. We are not advocating a reduction! of crops or of cultivated acerage, this ! year, nor in any year. This also goes ! lor live stock. In our opinion this is no time to limit hog production, or tot sacrifice brood sows. To much of this this has likely already been done. Hams, bacon and lard are not going out of fashion, nor are there too much of either in the world. In our view conditions are shaping to make live stock raising fairly profitable perhaps very much so as to hogs, not because of extra high prices- but because of the better balancing of feeding costs, and the greater purchasing value of the incoming dollars. Farm Labor Problem. That farmers will be troubled by any great shortage of labor this year, now seems incredibje. The slowing down of industrial processes has had a tendency to turn men familiar with farm operations back to the land, and to cause many city-bred man to consider the opportunities for a comfortable existence on farms or in rural communities. A million city dwellers are always looking ahead to the time when they will be able to evade tiie rent collector and to own a home out where the grass grows and where gardens, and fruit and berries flourish outside of tin cans. A number of such will get out into the country this year. But the men the farmer will value most are those who left the farm for the front, for the mills, factories and shipyards. Men to the manner born and to whom farming is the natural vocation. All of these will be doubly welcome and, truth to tell, many farmers will have no other except in dire emergency. In existing conditions the city and factory is losing much of its charm for former country boys, a host of whom have already returned to he land. Dollars being worth more this year, fewer of them will secure good help. The labor problem should be easily solved in most localities this year. Intensified Farming A manufacturer of farm machinery says: "Intensified farming must be practiced more energetically than ever before if the year 1921 and the years to come are to show a profit to American farmers." He cites the fact that "land values have advanced beyond all former limits, and history shows that the value of American farm land never drops." In this latter statement we are far from agreeing; land too greatly inflated must inevitably come down to MIIHIIIIHIIIIIIIfllhlllllllMlllllltliniMltlHIttlllllllllllltlltllltllllllllMIIIMIillUIMIII' 1 5-GAL.

The Universal Daily Habit

EVERY man, woman or child in this city who can read, reads some daily newspaper every day. It is as much a habit with them as eating, or talking, or walking. The newspaper is their point of contact with the outside world and with each other.

In every other city of any size, other newspapers are printed and other people read them in the same intensive way. In the great stretches of rural communities the newspapers from the cities radiate out through the mail boxes. North America is literally bound together and welded into a continent with common knowledge and common impulses by its 30,000,000 daily newspaper circulation. Newspaper readers have come to look on the daily advertising as part of the news. They turn to their newspaper when they want to buy, just as they turn to it for the ball score or the latest developments across the sea. Local merchants know this and they know they can build a larger volume of business at less cost

Labor will be lower and higher taxes are not. an incumbrance to buy any kind of land at boom prices. But, even so, the value of productive farms are pretty securely fixed There is no good cheap land any whereunder the flag; in any good transportation and market area, nor is there ever likely to be. The agricultural experience of the old world proves this contention. Things as They Are. But neither argument nor statistics can change existing conditions, at any time. What we have said as to the fact that many have planned to do "comfortable farming" this year according to their means and ability, has been clearly indicated at least in sports.Rotations are to be cared for and there will be a whole lot of land in grass in 1921. The effect of this upon the next harvest, and upon future prices remains to be seen. The men who "intensify" their farm operations, as some will, may offset the lack of effort on the part of their more complacent neighbors. What Alva Agee Says Alva Agee runs a department in the National Stockman and Farmer of Pittsburgh. Mr. Agee is a man of plain speech, and there is nothing frilly in the Agee section of the paper. It is very evident that he is fond of choice, home-made, country sausage and taboos certain other kinds. Listen to his remarks anent that appetizing dish: "When the Truth-in-Fabrics bill becomes a law I hope this great and good government will do something to protect the makers of pure sausage from unfair competition. Millions of youth in this country know nothing of the delicious meat that comes upon the farmer's table in the form of sausage after butchering time. There are few greater delicacies than pure pork sausage properly seasoned. Great manufacturers got into the game and found an abiding place for the necks of beeves, and it is almost impossible to find a sausage on the market that isn't just as red and pasty as such alien meat can make it. Millions of pounds of pork would find a market and the humble sausage would be a very considerable item of food if there was certainty that only good pork was used in the manufac ture." Mr. Agee overlooks the carloads of commercial "fillers" bought by manu

through the newspaper than through any other means of contact with possible customers. Manufacturers and distributors of trade-marked goods are also coming to learn that North America is a series of markets each differing from the other in opportunities to sell goods. Each good market can be reached by newspaper advertising at low cost and without wasted effort in barren localities. For this reason the newspaper has become the greatest medium for national advertising, just as it has always been the greatest medium for local advertising. The national advertiser can best cover this market or any market through the newspapers. .
