He states that each Saturday is reserved formeeting farmers and office work and unlessimportant meetings should occur he willalways be found there on that day.

If this were done, if a farmer was in-terested in Alfalfa, building a silo, or thebest method of filling a silo, crimson clover,feeding horses, hogs or dairy cows, Sudangrass orany of several hundredother subjectsof Interest to farmers all he would have to dowould be to go there and make his selectionand put them in his pocket.
