In fact, it would seem that a regular campaign is oil to get as much as possible of toe fann er's money through agent canvassers. We b« v lieve very strongly in farm and home equipment, conveniences and beau tification. but these things can usually be had better through the usual channel of purchases rather than from traveling agents or salesmen. I urge that you use every reasonable influence in the right way to guide your farmers in these matters nn«l the use of his surplus money sos the payment of debts and the purchase of those tilings which will add to the comforts of the home and means for producing crops in an easier ami larger way.
