Today we lay aside the old volume, 1920, with its diversiﬁed record of joys and sorrows, of pleasure and pain, of success anti failure. What. it contains cannot be blotted out; the year with the few orlmany that preceded it stands. irrevocably as a testimony for and aigainst us. God grant that when all the re- cords of thc years are stimmctl up there may be at least a small balance to the credit of each of us.

There was_ not so long ago, an old saying l" vogue that the man with a farm of 300 acres was poor, the man with 150 acres was well off and the man with 75 acres was rich.

5 Times are changed but much of the truth this old saying clings to the farming of today. Seven- ty-fivc acres of land -well cultivated, carrying all the stock it can conveniently feed, summer and win ter, may very easily be a better proposition than a T farm of 150 or 300 acres indifferentiy worked and ° carrying a stock that.‘ cannot (be fof any material help in fertilizing the farm. _ i
