We should all plant our crops hopefully this year. There is no surplus of good products in the country—rather a shortage of several kinds. Not only must the country be fed out of this reason's crops, but a surplus laid aside for the future. Foreign countries are likely to demand more of our ment, grain and fruit than ever before. We must always remember that while the population of this country has increased rapidly,* the area of land devoted to "food production has increased but fclowly. There will be no rapid increase until so;.;e of the arid lands are opened to irrigation. Again, more and more of the produce of the far Western States will be sent to sup:
ply our increasing trade in Asia, and" to that extent less will be sent to our eastern markets, AH these things indicate larger opportunities for the American farmer. Let us therefore put our crops iu with the utmost care, and stay by them.-Rural New Yorker.

But when the persistent agents told the farmer that they would put in the 'phone free of cost, that he would not have to pay a cent for it uul< could talk with his wife down home through the instrument, and that they would give him a written contract to that effect, he was convinced of the honesty of the intention, though he didn't think much of the scheme itself.
