Want to Know 
tHiCK Fodder Crops. —I have lately 
bought a farm and there will be no hay 
this season. Can some A\'ho have tried it 
give me their experience Avith .Japanese 
millet .also Avith 8udau grass for hay? 
Are these grasses good to Winter coavs? 
Possibly they can name some other grass 
for a quick crop. j. b. d.

^ R. N.-Y.—Will some of our readers in 
Eastern Pennsylvania tell us what they 
would use as hay substitutes? 
"^/ie Most Beaui^l Car iri/lmrica 
Make The Minutes Count 
In these war days you must realize that 
it becomes a patriotic duty to own 
a motor car. 
The business of the nation must move 
forward on high gear. There must 
be no “let ups"—no wasted effort 
—no inefficiency. Every true 
American is expected to quicken his 
stride and make each minute a pro' 
ductive minute. 
On the farm, especially—where dis^ 
tances are great-r-a dependable 
motor car is quite as necessary as the 
telephone. It is the most efficient 
form of transportation that has ever 
been developed—and transportation 
is the key to our entire national 
problem. 
So, by all means, get a motor car—for 
yourself and Uncle Sam. Any car 
is better than a slow, plodding, 
horse'drawn vehicle, but common 
sense will dictate the wisdom of 
buying a good one while you are 
about it. 
Take up the matter in the same careful 
way that you select agricultural 
machinery. Look for enduring 
quality rather than mere price. Buy 
a manufacturer's reputation rather 
than four wheels and a painted body. 
If you make your selection on this basis, 
we are quite content to abide by 
the result. If you search for 
motor car quality you must find the 
Paige.
