My second conclusion Vt different good “soil pockets” iild be considered according to your ih age, culture, recreational and (f factors inrolyed, also according vhere your relatives are located. Ice, every reader can for himself ict'a State in which he should be but needs help In ‘selecting I State’rspecial “soil pocket” best ifd to hls needs. his means that, after selecting a ■r in which you desire to locate. should write to Its Agricultural artment.

You needn't tell them the reason lor asking this question, but you need the answer In order to check their an swers to your other quesUons. As a rule, these experimeutal stations are located in the good “soil pockets” hav- lo« Jbe best temperature'and rainfall condVtions. Therefore, you should try to locate in one of the good “soil pockets” which has been selected for an experimental station. This is my third conclusion. , There, however, is another even more important reason why you should be near one of these stations: You ai« tp be more or less a novice as to farming. Yet, the raising nf crnpR- nud live stock Is fast becoming a science. By knowing what to plant, when to plant, how to plant and the best methods of fighting insects, fungus, etc., you can cut your work In half and double your crops. By being located close to an experimental station, you both enjoy good soil and you are In a posltkm to visit the sta tion and aak qaeatlons and get vsry valuable help. Hence, my fourth and final ‘conclusion is that yon should buy your five acres as near as pon- eHrie to wn ezperthaeiitfr, statfon. ' One other thought: The time may oome when you or your family will want to sell yonr little farm. Such jhome sites are. as a rule, like most jeverything else in this world—easier ito buy than they are to sell. This hile, however, usually’ does not apply to locations close to an experimental station. If it directly adjoins govern ment land the government may be a possible purchaser at a good price when you desire to sell. Hence, by locating according to these conclu sions you are not only sure of good soil and valuable frfw-help to get started right,*" hut are pretty sure to have a fair mariiet for your place whenever you wish to sell It \ TOVUE NEXT, JAPMi; Look your fate in the face, little "wcnr god", and remember you brought it upon yourself!
