START IT RIGHT
There is but one Way to get more
out of the year 1922 than you got out
of the year which preceeded it—and
that is to start it right.
Good resolutions made upon the
New Year are just like so much pie
crust, they are very easily broken,
unless you make a firmer resolution
than all the others—and that is a re
solve to keep them. There is but one
safe way to lay out those resolutions,
and that is to look back over the years
that have gone, single out mistakes
that have been made, and then re
solve not to make the same mistakes
again.
Despite the fact that there is a
lot of misery in the world, if we
could corral it, drive it all into one
big bunch, and then take note of it.
But fortunately there is happiness
enough to over-balance it, and where
we find one case of misery we find
a dozen cases of happiness. There
isn’t actual want, or privation, or
heart-rending cases of neglect in
Vass, and we know of no such cases
in the community surrounding. But
with all this there is still more happi
ness to be had than we have expe
rienced during the past year if we
will but make up our minds now, as
we start a new year, to search for it.
Hunting for happiness is just like
hunting for anything else—the harder
yoiti hunt the more apt you are to find
it. It isn’t going to come to you, un
less you cultivate the habit of carry
ing it to others. Why not make one
big, wholesome resolution for the
year—make it broad and then stick to
it. And why not let -that resolution
be that you will do at least one kindly
act toward a relative, a neighbor, a
friend, or even a stranger who may
be in our midst, every day during the
entire year. This doesn’t mean you
will have to dig into your pocket for
a present every day. It doesn’t mean
you’ll have to neglect your business.
For no matter where you are you can
find time to do something that will
make some one smile, that will make
some one’s heart happy for a passing
moment—and that is as kindly an act
as anyone can ever do. ^
Resolve to do a kind act every day
during the year 1922, and see if there
isn’t a lot of happiness lying right
around home that you have been over
looking in the years gone by.

NEW YEAR
Will be a Crop Year
But it will be a different year from those we have been coming
through. Farmers are facing new conditions, and they must use economy
and efficiency in their work in 1922.
Crops must be made at the minimum of cost, and must be the
maximum of excellence.
Your Fertilizer must Give you Results
You cannot afford the rule of thumb in feeding your crops any
more; you must know that your mixture is right, made by reliable
people, and of the right ingredients for your soil. That means

“I used your fertilizer exclusively this year for com, tobacco and
