TRACTORS _ Tractors are being bought by farmers who want power as well as something with which to till t land. For instance, a medium-sized ma- chine: can be purchased for only four or five hundred dollars more than a station- ary six or eight horsepower + gas engine. Thus we find farmers who desire engines larger than one of two horse- power buying tractors.

Diary Adds Interest To Your Gardening Looking forward to the season's gardening, why not decide on keep- ing a garden diary beginning now with the seed catalogue orders, and so on? No matter how small your gar- den may be, to keep a diary will in- crease you interest | tremendously. Why not start at once and write down every day, not only your work in the garden, but observations as to weather, lateness of season, .or vice versa. 3 When the time comes- for work- ing in your garden, don't be content = just rene down such items “digging” “hoeing. Put down ai you Ai want seeds, the quan- tities, varieties, number of rows, the distance apart; also the day you pick your first peas and so on. Keep a copy of your seed order with quantities and prices, where you bought them from. Note any seeds that fail to come up. Write down any Manure you use, any fer- tjlizer you try, making a ‘special note of its effect upo the various crops. | Other items of interest ure the; number of plants you get from the seed bought—when planted out; al-! so the price they bring tn if sold.
