FARMERS SHOULD
INVEST IN HOMES
Let us hope that with the in
crease in income from farms
this year, largely caused by
better prices of larm products,
that it will mean, among other
things, a beginning in owning
a farm. Let us hope many have
bought homes and made at
least small payments on them,
that others will do so as a re
sult of greater prosperity in the
country.
There are many advantages
in owning the farm. Not the
least of these is the greater in
centive for improving the place
and taking greater interest in
the roads, the schools and the
churches. It is Human nature
for men to take more interest
in their own property than
rented or leased property. And
all of us need a stimulus for
greater interest in soil building;
we need plans for future crops.
When we expect the farm to
be our home we are not ie
lunctant to spend something
for improvements.
There is no better way to
