Some Future Farmers 
Human Weed Pullers 
No doubt some of you luive read what 
the Hope Farm man had to say a few 
weeks ag:o aboiit his celebrated invention 
which every man of middle years ought 
to have. lie led the reader along until it 
turned out that his famous back-saver 
was a nimble-fingered chihl who could get 
down close to the plants and pull out the 
weeds among the strawberries or other 
ci-ops. Now in the picture we may see three 
of the Cherry-tops at Hope I'arm in their 
great act of playing the jiart of this new 
invention. We see that two of them are 
Human Weed Pulling Machines 
down to the work in good siiape, while 
the otlno’ is evidently standing u]> telling 
the others what they ought to do. As for 
the man in the jncture, we leave it to 
your iniagiimtion to decide whether this 
is tin' Hope Farm man, or whether it is 
the liired man. At any rate, these cdiil- 
dren are doing their part, and tliey, too, 
like tlie r<*st of the ftirin lioys and girls, 
Iiave their idea of what fiitnre farming 
is going to lie. No doubt we shall hear 
the boys and girls who intend to be farm¬ 
ers and who are interested in the mat¬ 
ter. We will try to give them a gar¬ 
den in Avhieh they can raise their own 
crops wdtli ink. One little picture on this 
fl)age shows two young farmers from 
Northern New York. Mr. Thos. Conroy 
of Clinton County sends tliis little pic¬ 
ture, and he calls it “Waiting for Dad¬ 
dy.” Sure enough, they are wniiting for 
daddy to come in from the field. He is 
in sight, as wc may see from their faces, 
and it is clear enough to anyone who has 
eyes that daddy will give them a Avelcome 
that is worth while. 
We may talk about the wheat crop, or 
the potato crop, or the other food crops 
which are so necessary, but the child 
crop Avaiting for daddy beats anything 
else that can come out of the soil. These 
little folks have ideas about the future, 
and that’s Avhat Ave older people avIio Ha’C 
mostly in the past Avant to knoAV about. 
Young Haymakers 
Here ai-e tAvo more young farmers 
shoAvu on this page. The one on the 
wagon is the hay-maker of the family evi¬ 
dently. He is a Avorki'r, and he knoAvs 
more about hay than many of the csaiu- 
mitteomen wlio are laying doAvu tlie ad¬ 
vice to farmers alioiit the foiider crop. 
He Avould like to have you right up ou 
the load Avitli him, so as to give you a 
ride, and shoAV you Avhat his calf is 
capable of doing. Mnn.v a farm boy has 
succeeded in harnessing iiji such a calf. 
It’s a big undertaking, and how proud the 
boy is Avben bo gets tliis puller safely in 
the harness and drives otT with his load. 
This l)oy Avill drive the Avagon up to the 
barn, hiteh on to the hay-fork, and then 
the calf Avill pull it up Avliere it bi'long.s. 
The Young Hay-maker and His Living Tractor 
from them in the I'liliire, as well as from 
the other children Avho are to iielp us out 
Avith iiictures of their animals or their 
work. 
Waiting for Daddy 
We have been surprised to le.ini how 
many young farmers are reading 'I'iik 
K. N.-Y. Boys and girls all over the 
couutr.v tire folloAving what Ave liave to 
say, and taking gi-eat interest in many 
of tlie problems Avhicli their parents are 
trying to .solve. Thewi little men and 
Here is anuiher (•uiiiing farmei', and lie 
will be of the i-ight sort. If he isn't sat¬ 
isfied with farm conditions as they are 
now, he will find out hoAv to make them 
better. He AA’ill see lioiie in tlie future, 
.inst as hi.s parents did year.s ago Avhou 
tliey started out. We want to bear more 
from tills boy, and get liis ideas about 
farming in l!»r,0, at Avhich time be Avill 
l.rolmbly be driving a big gasoline tractor, 
although lie never Avill think as much of 
it as he do(‘s of that calf. This hoy

Waiting for Daddy 
Women are to be tl'.e fanners of the 
future, and Ave have about decided tliat 
tliey ought to have a plan; of their own

them Avith a little garden spot, and if 
they care to develop it fully, Ave Avill 
give them more space as tliey learn to

eight-room residence. During previous years I con¬ 
sumed, in a base-burner, between nine and ten tons 
of coal and used only three rooms on entire first floor. 
With a Caloric I consumed seven tons and found that 
the second floor of my residence was just as comfor¬ 
table as anyone could desire. At a temperature of 
five degrees below zero. I found the fourth or front 
room on first floor of my residence to be 72 degrees.

Feed the Fighters! Win the War! 
Harvest the Crops! Save the Yields! 
On the battlefields of France and I'landers the United States boys and the Canadian 
boys are fighting side by side to win for the World the freedom that 1‘russianism would 
destroy. 
While doing this they must be fed and every ounce of muscle that can be requisitioned 
must go into use to save this year’s crop. A short harvest period requires the combined 
forces of tlie two countries in team work, such as the soldier boys in France and Flanders 
arc demou,;trating. 
THE COMBINED FIGHTERS IN FRANCE AND FLANDERS 
AND THE COMBINED HARVESTERS IN AMERICA 
WILL BRING THE ALLIED VICTORY NEARER 
A reciprocal arrangement for the use of farm workers has been perfected between the 
Department of the Interior of Canada and the Department of Labor and Agriculture of 
the United States, under which it is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now 
engaged in the wheat fields of Oklahoma, Kansas, Jowa, North Dakota, Soutli Dakota, 
•Neliraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to move over into Canada, with the privilege of 
later returning to the United States, when the crops in the Unjted States have been 
conserved, and help to save the ;enornious crops in Canada which by that time will 
be reatiy for harvesting.
