The Klamath Daily New believes that the best way to se eure such added prosperity is by setting forth in printed form what our present farming communities have don with the land, and are now doing. Human interest accounts told in a spirit of helpful ness towards others who may become our neighbors, will do more than anything else in solving our land settlement problems. Hence. The Klamath Daily News, in co-operation with the business and professional interests whose adver tisement) appear on this page, offer $10.00 in cash prizes each week for the five best stories of farm life in Klam ath County and environs.

If properly done, stands much better chances of raising a good crop than if the later plantina la done. As a result, we will probably find that" a fair per cent of our commercial plantina will be put in from eight to 12 days earlier this coming year.
