grass everywhere that will sprout blue
beans during wet season. Some OF the
| farmers failed to get cattle to pasture this
summer and they now have their pas
| ture fields changed into meadows; go
will harvest it for hay or get what they
can out of it for winter pasture. One
| farmer says, as II is with the grain and
| hay product in this section so it Is with
the cattle. Farmers send too much mon
ey out of the county for grain, hay and
cattle that ought to be produced here.
A few patches OF land have been sown
