BETTER FRUIT 



Page Eleven 



In the passing of David S. Lake, presi- 

 dent of the Shenandoah Nurseries, whose 

 death occured in Februrary, this country 

 lost a horticultural leader of remarkable 

 ability and achievement. Dying at the age 

 of 74, he had for 52 years been in the 

 nursery business, most of the time at Shen- 



andoah, Iowa. Through indomitable en- 

 ergy and integrity he built up this business 

 until it became the chief industry of his 

 city, known wherever nursery stock is sold. 



land next fall, advance premium lists have 

 already been prepared and sent out. 



In order to spur interest in the annual 

 Land Products Show to be held in Port- 



/ am renezving for three "jean more of 

 Better Fruit. Would be lonesome with' 

 out it. — Ralfh Burdick, White Salmon,

Some 



Notions About 



Buying Farm Machines 



THE growing season is well under way, six 

 million farmers are out in the open, remolding 

 the great fertile world, and you are probably 

 confining your attentions to the fields out of which 

 your own profit must come. 



Ahead of you is a summer of activity, and your plans 

 will have much to do with farm machines. This summer 

 you may invest in a number of such items of practical 

 equipment as are listed at the right. You will be deciding 

 what machines will increase your production, save you 

 the most, and cost you least in the long run. Each purchase 

 vnW lay a bit of the foundation for coming seasons. 



Each new machine must be a good, reliable worker and 

 moneymaker for you during years to come. It has been 

 proved many times that one defective, inefficient machine 

 may in one season tear down the profits built up by good 

 tools and hard labor. Your choice in each case is no light 

 matter for there are wide variations in value.
