Just as there are a few instances in each person's life that have a far- reaching influence over his whole life, so do we find in each year of any farmer's work a few days' labor that Usually these days do not come by accident. They are key days in the year's work. The careful farmer plans to see that no other duties disturb when it is time to perform these all- important tasks. : For instance, there ie the time you spend selecting seed potatoes for next year's crop. Days spent at this type of work are key days to the farmer. If he hopes to accomplish more next year than he did this year or last yeas, then he should count the hours used in the selection of good seed potatoes, or good seed corn, as all important, By working hard; two men possibly | can dig and 'seléct a sufficient quan- tity of potatoes to plant five acres of ground next year. 'Aeccording to tests and. observations, it has been found that the average crop from high-class seed shows an increase of from twenty to ninety bushels per acre when com- pared with a crop grown from ondi- nary seed. Men who follow close culling of seed year after year are producing, according. to our experts, double the yields of potatoes that-the COMMON Grower SECUTES. I this be true, and we have no rea- son for questioning the conclusions of these men, then two or three days' work in the potato field before the regulir-orop 1s dug may mean nearly as much in next year's crop as the entire labor for 1928 will unlock to you the extra yields and add to the profit side of the ledger. sieonibmeiliiors Why aren't we, every one of us, | * As rich as rich can be?
