This fact is clearly and definitely the result of uninterrupted service in the fields of hundreds of Illinois farmers. This is significant, because, as a result of the successful performance referred to, our sales of Parrett Tractors, each year has averaged over four tunes the amount of sales for the preceding year, and this fact is true of five consecutive years of Parrett Tractor business. Your Tractor investment is important. It represents so much abiUty to accomplish work. In this respect the Parrett offers more per dollars invested than other Tractors NO REGRETS—JUST PARRETT TRACTORS "Official Demonstration** The Parrett Tractor plowed forty-eight acres; Double disced thirty-two acres in seventy-two hours, continuous run.

STEWART, Manager PARIS, ILLIIS^blS FARMERS AND BREEDERS, EDGAR COUNTY Jllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllli:: Sntrobuction this directory we have endeavored to give Edgar INCounty farmers a complete and reliable directory of the farmers, breeders and merchants of the county, with such other information as will make the directory a valuable reference book. The task of calling on every farmer in a county and collecting the information for such a directory is a tre- mendous one. We have received splendid co-operation from the farmers and business men of the county, without which the publication of such a directory would be impos- sible. In a very few cases we have found farmers unwilling to give the information requested, which accounts for a few names that do not appear. A few mistakes are bound to occur in a directory that involves so large an amount of work, but we have spared no eflFort or expense to make the information complete and accurate, and we believe that the mistakes are very few. We want to speak a word of appreciation for the ad- vertisers whose liberal support has helped materially to bear the heavy expense of publishing this directory, and ask that you favor them with your patronage whenever possible. We hope and believe that the publication of this direc- tory will be a real service to Edgar County farmers and in line with Prairie Farmer's policy of service to the farmers of Illinois. We hope that the increased circulation of Prairie Farmer in Edgar County which has resulted will help in the movement for better farming, better farm living, and more prosperity for the county, and that our many new friends will become permanent members of the big Prairie Farmer family.

  • The West's Turkey Conundrum
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS FEBRUARY 2018 EUROPE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT BROOKINGS – ROBERT BOSCH FOUNDATION TRANSATLANTIC INITIATIVE THE WEST’S TURKEY CONUNDRUM AMANDA SLOAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Policymakers in the United States and European Union are struggling with how to manage their relations with Turkey. What makes the country such a conundrum is that its problematic leadership faces real threats. Turkey is confronting challenges from the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt and the destabilizing effects of the Syrian war. Yet the country’s president is growing more authoritarian, using virulent anti-Western rhetoric, and making foreign policy choices contrary to the interests of the trans-Atlantic alliance. The policy goal is navigating this gray zone today to preserve the possibility of better relations in the future. The paper begins by examining the main domestic and regional challenges facing Turkey, as well as how these issues impact the country’s relations with its Western allies. It then outlines three possible policy responses for the United States and Europe: abandonment, transactionalism, and engagement. The paper makes the case for taking a long view, as the current period before Turkey’s parliamentary and presidential elections (due sometime before November 2019) will remain difficult. The degree of political, security, socio-economic, and cultural integration between Turkey and the West requires a nuanced and supple style of relationship management. Specifically, the paper advocates for constructive and principled engagement. This entails widening the aperture of government outreach to more officials on a broader range of shared interests; using the prospect of deeper trade and investment links to encourage better governance; expanding people-to-people ties and supporting civil society; and staying true to Western values by speaking out about rule of law and human rights abuses.
