FARMERS should be improving this
good weather in preparing for large
crops. Each farmer in the county
should aim to produce enough for his
own consumption and something to
sell, and then we will have less com.
plant about hard times. You can't
get money unless you have something
to give in exchange for it. When
we have surplus, then will money
find a circulation among US. A
county as good as ours ought to raise
bread and meat for its people. Make
hay while the sun shines so that
when the harvest comes you may
reap.
