1t will be of interest to our farmers to
know something of the farming operations
OF our old townsman, Walter Bass, and son,
now of Ottawa, Kansas. They have just
shipped to their farm, from Iowa, 115 year
ling steers, that averaged, in weight, TAG
pounds each, and that COST laid down at
their home, 1926 per hundred weight They
have just sold seventy head of twoyear-

corn is worth with them nineteen cents
bushel; oats, fifteen CENTS potatoes thirty

Sonoma, Alabama, writes us, under recent

our friends who may go to Atlanta to visit
him in his home. Mr.. White Is always en-

seems to be lacking to bring out the re-
sources of that portion of our domain are
northern energy and methods But is
I this not fair question: How long could
northern energy be kept up in that warmer
| cimate?"
