Show Better Farm Living It is natural that the farmer should think of means for improving his condition in terms of iarger crops and higher prices for them P.ut it is evident evi-dent that if every farmer raises more and more each year it will mean 8. greater surplus of products and consequently con-sequently lower prices. If some of the time devoted to increased in-creased crop production were given to providing home comforts and raising more food on the farm, there would be less need for increased acreage of principal crops. Orchards, gardens, cows, pigs and poultry on every farm would insure more and better home food. Better care of machinery, more attention to general repairs and less waste are measures of economy whicn many could put into practice with very little ex-. ex-. penditure of time or money. Attractive Attrac-tive yards, with shrubs and flower?,, likewise require little effort and add to the joy of living. The time and labor required to provide pro-vide all these things might be spared with little interference with the making of regular crops. There are very few farm families who might not through attention to these matters place themselves them-selves in a position to live better than they do now. |
