CULTIVATE SMALL GRAIN ' Nitrate oi .-oda and other top dressing for grai.: is very costly this year . and there is some dovb: as to the advisability of buying it at present prices. This is a question Cor each farmer to decide for himself, whether to buy soda or not at present prices, but whether grain be top-dressed or not, it will pay well to cultivate it with harrow, two or three times. Use any good spike tooth harrow, and run the teeth a little slanting, so as not to tear up grain too much. It is very important to break top crust on land, thus con- | serve moisture and stimulate growth in grain. All grain .should he harrowed as soon as possible on account of it having been stunted by fly and cold j weather. Cultivation will also make i i more plant food in soil become avail- j able for the use of young plants, thus ! il? x ^ ^ ^ cultivation win paruy lskc piace en nitrate a: soda.

WHAT OTHER NATIONS HATE IN RURAL CREDITS Study the Federal reserve act and' the National banking act, Mr. Con- j gressman, the rediscounting features, the low interest rates allowed commercial banks, etc., etc., and then see if you can look an honest farmer in the face and te.l him that the new rural j credits bill will insure as square aj deal for agriculture as the Federal re- j rvo act gives commerce. And study the European rural credits systems and see if uAmerica can afford to do less for her > armers than is being done; for Those in Eurone.
