Ordinary fence etsy ihe about sib years under the ‘ most favorable conditions, and every year ,Jand owners in the United States spend according to government esti- mates $24,000,000.00 replating decayed fence posts. This is an exorbitant tax. Several “years ago the railroads with hundreds of miles of, fencing and business men that’ own land adopted ia the policy of not just @aking anything that would stand up for a’ post, but 6ommenced to use the posts that would give them the most. yegrs of service and they selected the Cedar posts and poles, They have found that they will last from fifteen to twenty years, and if they are creosoted will last for many years longer. ‘There are cedar posts in the fence,on the Charlie -Henry farm in Bates county, Mo,, that have been in constant use for over twenty-three years, and apparent- ly will last for ten years longer. - .Your crops will be valuable this year, don’t take a ay ys chance on a faulty post. And later in the season help will be too scarce to repair the fences. Our 7 ft. round and sawed cedar posts are answering the post propser for many thrifty land owners this spring. And they are using Cedar poles from ‘10 to 30 feet for barn and hay shed poles. They are straight and easy to work, 3 We have the creosoted, and untreated posts in stock.

The government does ‘not intend to hinder farm operations any more than is absolutely netessary by the coming draft quotas. Provision has been made for placing Class 1 men who are actually engaged in agricul- tural production, in deferred classes. Dean F. B, Mumford of the Univer- sity of Missourj College of Agricul- ture, Chairman of the Missouri Coun- cil of Defense, calls attention to a recent statement issued by the De- partment of Labor at Washington. It is apparent from this statement that farmers must take action at once to have their labor placed in the de- ferred class: \ new tly will be called to the colors. The Provost Marshal General has or- dered that ‘men actively, assiduous- ly, and completely engaged in’ the planting or cultivation of a crop but and within the new quota should be sdountil the end of the new quota. "The local draft boards, being judi- can not defer the call of stich men, however, cial bodies, ers employing them support their ofdclaims for such,deferred classification with affidavits. It is therefore of vital importance that farmers im- mediately execute and file such affi- davits with the local boards. “If farmers whose hands are atf- jected in this new call fail to follow thi vice, they should have no cause for complaint if their men are taken from theni at this critical time. lt will be useless and unreasonable later to protest if they have done nothing to retain their help. Immediate ac- tion on the part of é@very farmer employees are affected is és- and should not be delayed un- circumstances,” ose any Survey Shows 30 Per Cent Hog Increase. ent of Ag number of tes Depart ws that the 4d 30 per cent over the ar, In rot7 the farm- 1 -bred=2)7 This Of the total number 300 ken nber last. y who report farrow year spring have bred 3 vho Wid replied up to March 1, reported cards that were at meetings.

The house, which is one of the most beautiful little homes in the city, is still standing and still oc- cupied by Mr. and Mrs. tlolloway, which is somewhat of a record for continuous residence in one house. | Coming overland from larrison- ville Mr. Holloway noticed that there were Vv few fruit trees in this part of the country and about the first thing he did after getting established jin his new home was to start out 1s ja fruit tree agent.
