Making Farming a Easiness.
"Too many fanners in America
today are morely giving them
selves hired men's jobs. What
the farmers need is not only
large production but profitable
production, "says Carl S. Vroo
man, assistant secretary U. S.
Department of Agriculture, re
cently, "Farming is a business
just as much as running a steel
plant, a bank or a saw mill, but
few formers have attained the
ambition of the business man
who expects to make interest on
his investment, wages for his
time and a profit besides. From
the standpoint of pure agrono
my, they say our average yield
per acre of wheat, for example,
can be doubled. In the mean
time, we need have no fear of
over-production."
Worth Careful Thought
Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate ?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful
ness for low price.

Springtime on the Farm.
Are you ready for spring? The
common question among farm
ers in the fall is "are you ready
for winter?" Robins are back,
the green is getting into the
trees, the wild flowers are here
again, and the season of 1916 is
under way. Among the things
that you were going to do last
winter were the following: Oil
ing and repairing the harness;
repairing machinery, making im
provements in the barn, stables,
and other buildings; ordering
your fertilizers, seeds, trees and
plants; testing the seed corn;
trimming fruit trees and spray
ing for scale; repairing and build
ing new fences, walks and gates.
Some have been done and others
remain undone. Why not con
tinue to get ready now for the
harvest season by utilizing your
spare time to best advantage?
Speeding More Economically.
How could you spend $100 to
best advantage on your farm?
Do you believe in the adage that
"a stitch in time saves nine?"
They who neglect the repairs on
your buildings, the up-keeping of
your fences, the improvement of
your soils by proper drainage, the
use of lime and fertilizers? How
many hundred dollars more prof
its could you make this year if
you spent some money this spring
in improvements in making
your farm more productive and
more efficient as a business concern?.

The spring term opened Tues
day April 4th. The disagreeable
weather did not interfere with
the enrollment, for by Monday
evening, the building was full of
the new and returning old stu

while the number for the term
cannot be definitely stated now,
there is belief that the total num

reach 500 and maybe more.
