WHAT JUDGE HENRY HAMMOND SAYS. JUDGE HENRY C. HAMMOND, of Augusta, Ga., whose advanced work in the growing of select seed oats, has attracted much attention on the part of Government officials, sums up' the great need of the Southern farmer in the one word, "Education." Not education in the general.sense of that word, he says, tho he recognizes that as a burning need of the masses. But education in a more restricted sense, where the need applies to the college-bred man as well as the man with only a common or high school train ing. "The education I am talking about," says the eminent jurist, "is the knowl edge of how to BUY and SELL." "This is the training that is so necessary for the farmer at this time, and the keen competition of the business world is making the need still greater." "The farmer," Judge Hammond says, "who knows how to find a market for what he raises or knows where to buy what he needs has got a spendid business education." It is the province of The Progressive Farmer to help the farmer with some thing to sell and the one who has to buy to get together. The charge for this get-together service is made very low irt order to en courage farmers to have more to sell and to help those who want improved stock or seed to get them from reliable parties. If you have something to sell write for our advertising rates. Also tell us something about the quantity and quality of your product and we'll be glad to advise you about the form of your advertisement and space required. T
