One of the prize-winning pictures was this double-jointed photograph of "The Kelly Kids and Their Good Times on the Farm." Thr seven youngsters are full-fledged members of The Progressive Farmer Family, their parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Kelly of Richmond County, North Carolina, having been GOOD TIMES ON THE FARM friends and readers of The Progressive Farmer for many years. The ages of the youngsters range from twelve years to sixteen months. With this healthy, happy, hustling group of seven Kelly kids to back up her faith, Mrs. Kelly has decided that it is no mistake to follow Mrs. Hutt's advice on the care and rearing of children, as she has been following it in The Progressive Farmer all the years these youngsters have been growing up, Don't you think this is a pretty fine family ? Live Subjects This Week and Next HOW Farmers Make Extra Money. Under this head this week we are publishing a letter from a merchant who tells how he helps farmers make extra money. "I am a country mer chant," he writes. "People from everywhere come by here, but I give my near customers the advantage by selling any thing they have a surplus of. I do not charge them any com mission. This puts more money in the community and there fore helps me.'' Here is a man who is foresighted enough to see that by helping others he is helping himself.

Where to get the money for this extra in vestment has been solved for many by the Federal Land banks. Mr. Alford tells how to have strong, durable fences that will last . . , Page 6 The Light in the Clearing. "Money is so tight it can't be done: The bank has got all the money and Grimshaw owns the bank," said Rodney Barnes, explaining why . he couldn't get money with which to pay off the money-lender. How many folks, during the past three years, have been. in a tight place like that? We can certainly be thankful that the money-lenders , nowadays are not all of the Grimshaw type. Bart says the curious notion came to him that Mr. Grimshaw looked like their old ram Page 8 Seasonable Suggestions for the Progressive Farm Women. FrlA tram 4-1 ' :'H ' 1 A.?vrs l-.-.

"A carpenter's hand-saw is not a fit tool to use for pruning a fruit tree, neither is a hatchet," Mr. Niven further insists. He also offers suggestions as to what to plant irr the garden this week and how to control twig girdlers. But he lets one secret out of the bag.
