Discussion of drnlnago and Irriga

a feature of tho morning session,
Much good has resulted from (bo
farm bureau convention, through
tho Interchange ot Ideas between
members and the Instruction In

Livestock breeding was given a
great Impetus through tho offers ot
local bankers of blooded stock to
head boef and dairy berds, and also
swine and sheep breeding.
While bad weathar and bad roads
rod u cod attendance far below what It
would havo been had tho weather

that so many Ignored tho woathor In

convincing proof of the Interest that

TO THE BUYING PUBLIC:

Mon and women cannot bs omployed unless you keep on

Oy no't buying what you need, you prevent tho consump
tion ot things on which you dopond for your own living.
Why wait, now that prices nro down?
Waiting moans less work all down the lino In factories,

Waiting only moans unemployment, unemployment means
less consumption of tho products ot farm and factory
