I mean the land used as farms A house and lot is not farm in this es- timate. Recollect, we must have farms and the more they produce, the better it is for all of us. There is but one true course to take, and that is to keep the state thriving. We may boast of our banks and other monied institutions, and they avail us nothing as they are. They can all leave us when they choose, but the land stays. Which is the best for the public, rich man who pays no taxes, or good farm Give us the good farms and not tax them out o1 sight. Consider the improvements in all kinds of labor-saving tools for farm ing that has taken place within 3( years. We see that some one besides farmers have reaped the benefit.
