that Is something.

that cotton seed either rotted or

there is no doubt while Americans
may learn much from Cubans of their
barn manipulations, the Cubans will
also learn, as all nations have, that
America is always ahead in the open
field; that the hoe and the spade have
had their day; and that they who
would reap at low cost must use the
mule and the pillow, the harrow and
