tunity that the farmer of that section
cannot afford to overlook, k They aboold

The preparation of an edition such as
uggeeted by the commission would un
doubtedly be of great value in dissemi
nating information of the state's resour
ces, but the expense of time ana money
necessary to publish a creditable edition
of thia character is a factor which give
Uie matter a teriou phase and to the
printer it la one wnicn bios be consid
ered from a purely basinea point of
view, for to him it means manv weeks
oi bam work and a considerable outlay
ot -rasn. However, it the scheme is
properly encouraged it can easily be
matured.

we don't, we are publishing a paper
that isu't fit to make a bustle of. If we
remain in our office, we are too proud to
mingle with common people. If we
are on the streets we are not attending
to our business. If we speak to everyone,
we are too fresh j if we don't speak to
everyone, we are not sociable enough to
