The Farmer Today Is a Business Man
does not run his farm in the haphazard fashion he
did ten years ago. I t’s his business. He figures his
H E costs
and profits.
He knows, of course, what he gets out of the productive
acres of his farm—and how much he is paying out in taxes
on the idle unproductive stump and swamp land that brings
in nothing.

It’s just good business. Every acre cleared and planted
means more profit every year. The clearing cost is usually
more than covered by the first crop.
More land is being cleared, too, because of the manufacture
of dynamite made for this purpose, which makes the work
easier, quicker and more economical.

How much is productive? How much idle? Then see our local dealer
and plan how much dynamite you need for this season. He will help you—
and will furnish you with reliable, efficient and economical explosives,
now in greatest demand throughout this section—

is not an electric cleaner. It is an “every day”
sweeper because it requires no wires, or plugs
or connections. You just grasp the handle and
clean from room to room thoroughly without
further bother.
The long, tapering “ nose” slides conveniently under beds,
radiators and heavy furniture.
All that is best in electric cleaners nil the easy convenience
of the ordinary carpet sweeper—that is the VACUETTE—yet
it is free from the drawbacks that makes the first a once a-week
sweeper and the second an incomplete cleaner.
Once try a Vncuette, once run its generous suction nozzle
across a floor, and you will realize what a useful place it will
fill in your daily work.
Your first demonstration will convince you.

8. A. Roberta, th e cb airm au of the
; local F arm B ureau, called his coui-
I u iittee to g e th e r at his hom e to work
o ut a plan of w ork to p resen t to the
¡com m unity m eeting, which is to be
' held in th e n ear fu tu re .
Mr. H olt, o u r new county agent,
was p resen t an d assisted iu planning
th e work. He told of th e various
projects th a t a re being tak en up In
o th e r com m unities, and recom m end
ed th a t we ta k e up only th e most
u rg en t ones at p resen t, and m ake a
good show ing on th e few before ta k
ing up more. T he in ark etiu g p roject
seemed to be of th e m ost vital im
portance, an d It was divided into two
I classes, th e buying and selling. Un
der th e head of buying, 'dairy feed
and tw ine m a rk e ts a re to be ex
plored, and u nder th e head of seil-
1 ing a s ta rte r is to be m ade w ith pota-
i toes. It will be too late to sell the
1920 crop th ro u g h th e F arm B ureau,
' but it tak es tim e to get such a proj-
i ect sta rte d , so it will be noue too
i soon to begin now’ to o rganize for
th e sale ol' this y e a r’s crop. The
d airy m en ’s league has ch arg e of sell
ing dairy p ro d u cts; th e w heat grow
ers union does th e sam e w ith g ra in ;
th e berry grow ers w ith berries, so it
is tim e fo r th e potato grower» to
form a union, and th e F arm B ureau
is th e best m edium th ro u g h which
th is may be done.
The hom e d em o n stratio n project
will also be recom m ended, th e poul
try project, and tho rodent and
th istle projects.
The tem p o rary ch airm an Is a u
thorized to call a m eeting for the

All th e sta te m en ts have to do m ore
