When thestand is thin —when every 
spear of hay helps, then is when you 
v ill most appreciate the N.F.E. Mower— 
the mower that gets all the hay under 
all conditions. 
The easy operating, vertical lift 
enables you to cutclose to trees, stumps or 
Ivoulders with the least loss of hay. The 
close-fitting, keen-cutting knife floats in 
and out of depressions, and gets every 
blade. 
The N.F.E. is just the kind of 
mower you would buy if you were toorder 
one built to your own specifications. It 
has every desirable modern improvement 
I hat goes to make a better mower. It is 
a $123.00 mower in every detail excepting 
only the price. The quality is right—it 
must l>e to meet our broad “money bock 
if von -leant it ” guarantee.

Farm Products and Union Time 
The Weefcli) I*ress of the Arizona ex¬ 
periment Station tells of a rancher who 
printed the following placard to describe 
his goods: 
“These eggs were laid by hens scratch¬ 
ing for a living from daylight until dark, 
and which were fed upon milo maize 
grown by labor which applied irrigation 
water 18 1 ours a day. 
‘‘This butter was made from milk which 
was drawn by a milker who pulled on 
his boots at five o’clock in the morning 
to begin his labors and who was obliged 
to keep on the job Sundays and holidays 
as well as the rest of the days of the 
week. 
‘‘The oranges in iliis box were produced 
on a tree which did not lay off growing 
at the end of a six-hour day. 
i “The cotton in this bale was cultivated 
by a farmer’s sou who violated the rules 
\ of skilled craftsmanship doing the ranch 
I chores a or his 10-hour-day on the cnl- 
j tivntor. 
“'Phe Alfalfa in this load of hay labored 
under hazards ot' frost, seep and Alfalfa 
weevil, unbecoming a well-regulated and 
self-respecting unionized Alfalfa plant. 
“The head lettuce in this crate secured 
its case of swell head by putting in time 
and a half and thereby violated the rules 
of th(> head lettuce union, which only 
called for a one-pound head instead of 
a two-pounder. 
“This hog is a ‘rank outsider.’ because 
by working overtime he grew t<• “(Ml in¬ 
stead of “00 pounds, and so helped to 
bring about overproduction of a manufac¬ 
tured product. 
“None of these farm crops nor crea¬ 
tures hold union cards, and since all union 
rules have been violated in their produc¬ 
tion. we warn all union men that hogs, 
liens and bossy cows are scabs and are 
not to he patronized.’* 
“Little Bits of Service” 
We have a letter from on * of our read¬ 
ers who gives the following story about 
how good nature helped farm organizing. 
When he first moved into the neighbor¬ 
hood where he now lives, the people were 
not inclined to he neighborly. There 
has been several family feuds and a good 
deal of community trouble. People were 
suspicious of each other, and could not 
he go' together for co-t co-operative 
purposes. People would pass each other 
on the road without any recognition, and 
there was not much visiting among fami¬ 
lies. This man and his children started 
iu to see what they could do about re¬ 
forming that situation and making peace, 
and they concluded that they would have 
I to go down to fundamentals of good fel¬ 
lowship before they would get very far. 
So as lie drove or walked along the road 
and met any of his neighbors he, with the 
boys, always gave a military salute in 
all seriousness. At first the people 
laughed at this and voted the new family 
a strange bunch of lunatics. The prac¬ 
tice v.as kept up. and lie says that before 
long a few of the men began to return 
| the salute, and inside of six months prac¬ 
tically overy<fne in the neighborhood be¬ 
gan to take notice of each other and ox- 
«•hanged greetings as they passed along 
the way. Then th : s man. first with his 
team of horses and later with his car, 
started the practice of stopping at any 
time to take up passengers along the way 
when they found a man or woman walk¬ 
ing. frequently going out of their way to 
rake such passengers home. At first, as 
was the case of the salute, the people 
laughed at him. because they did not un¬ 
derstand it. but before long they began 
to follow the good example. First the 
older people and then the younger people 
fell into the habit of picking up passen¬ 
gers and neighbors and giving them a lift 
in their carriage or ear. Within two 
years of this kind of friendly intercourse 
and service changed the habits of the en¬ 
tire community. The people began to 
realize that the best part of life is good- 
natured service to others. The reserve 
and prejudice formerly existing in that 
neighborhood was broken down. People 
began to realize that their neighbors were 
, human beings, and that there was good 
even in the men or women who for years 
had been unfriendly with them. The 
Urange was introduced ntul several co¬ 
operative enterprises arc under way. and 
probably not one of them could have been 
successful if the people had not come to 
realize that successful life is made up of 
little bits of kindly services to neighbors 
and friends.
