INCREASE YOUR CROPS

Your Crops May Be Increased by the Proper Selection of Seeds
Don’t buy from “just anyone who has seed for sale.” It takes long
years of experience to know how to buy good seed. We have been
thirty years in learning how and where to buy the best seed. Our
seeds are bought in extra large quantities, thereby allowing us to
sell you better seeds at lower prices. The seeds we sell you will
under the same conditions give you better “stands” than the aver
age. We often buy seeds in CARLOAD lots, which enables us to
save you money. You may buy NOW, any amount of the follow
ing seeds from our seed department. Write us your order, or
better still, come in and let us figure with you.

HOW TEACHERS MAY SERVE
The teachers pf our rural school
will be responsible in a large measuie
for the manner in which the rural dis
tricts meet the competition for labor
and occupation in cities and towi.%.
How can the pupils of our schools t
day look to agriculture as a profitable
vocation when they find that train
ing for it receives so little attention ?
How can the boys and girls in >ur
rural schools consider rural life any
thing more than a chance to seek em
ployment in cities and towns when the
teachers depreciate rural living and
emphasize city life and city occupa
tions ?
Rural teachers who see the impor
tance of an ample supply of food and
clothing for the American people and
who appreciate the opportunities to
serve the state and nation should be
gin courses in elementary' agriculture
and domestic economy. They will
have an abundance of materials and
there is no better way to build the
rural schools.
Let us hope that the teachers of
our rural schools in the Southwestern
states will make a beginning to teach
these practical and necessary sub.ie ts
now and that they will have the co
operation of their patrons.—Farm and
Ranch.
