Similar bodies are now being organ- ized throughout this and other states with the ohjext in view of informing on the other hand, some of the people,.jmade no such plantings because of a lack of money with which to purchase seed, so the comihunity acreage of legumes Is about the same as usual. More than the usual amount of work has l>een done on ditch es and in improving pasture.-, a.s the season ha.s been .(fivor- able for the ordinary fk*ld tfesks, and some surplus time has re sulted. Apparently the markets have had no effwt in le. triiting farm improvement where labor alone is required. But farmers have practically stopped building and greatly re duced painting. The men spend more time in keeping equipment in condition than in the more prosperous times, when they could afford to h'e liberal in the purcha.se of new tools. In some ca.s!€S this is an a.-set, from the standpoint of human satisfaction, for those who take pride in their ability to do the “rough-and-ready” type of mechanical work for which farmers arc more or -less noted. The gardens in this commun ity, for example, are the largest and he.st in local history. There also is adeijuate cfioperation in their use. .A farmer w’ith a sur plus of some .vegetable, usual ly gives it to his neighbors, if they want it. The pnxluction of “garden stuff" in the neighbor hood this year, however, 'h?.s bee.n .substantially above the re- (|uiiements of the people, and the suiplu.s ha. gone to waste or been fed to hog.s. Most of the folks have all the poultry and dairy products ne<*ded at home, and produce a surplus for sale. Incidentally, there is a far • better-^appre<‘iation of the value of such commodities a- mong the people here than ex- iited ten years ago. Hogs were butchered in large numbers in the Winter and the meat was cured for the .season’s use. F'lour commonly has lieen olitained with no cash outlay, by trading wheat for tbe finished product . at the smaller mills. There is abundance of fruit.
