A prominent LaGrande farmer
who has three large farms recent

were in the red column and
bought the worse off they are
which only proves the point that
the large unit farm is a mill
stone about owners neck and
prevents the successful affilica

should be done to pay out. '
The small farmer with the aid
of his farmer does most of his
work and keeps the money in
side. He puts in more thought
than the big land unit man can
require from his hired help and
find by that practice of a thrift
that is needed rather than ease
and shorter hours he gets results
He so farms that he has some

investment in paint will save it.
A building that is not protected
by paint must either be rebuilt
or repaired in a few years at a
costly figure. '
Check ' the cost. Compare the
prices of paint and lumber. Can you
afford to bear the expense of rebuild

Whe,n you paint, make an additional
saving by using tht best paint. It
spreads easily saves labor cost. It
covers more surface per gallon than
