On every band plows are running,
fertilizer being hauled, and prepa-
rations for planting gong steadily
on. Our farmers are very busy, but
we think the acreage will be decreas-
ed on account of scarcity Of labor.
Our community is very scarce of
farm labor, more so than we have
ever known. We attribute this to
two principal causes: the farmers are
in better condition financially, and
want more labor than usual; and a
good many laborers have purchased
team and are now renters.
Elder J.. W. Gardner, from your
city, filled his regular appointment
at chapel last Saturday and Sunday

appreciative congregation. He has
many friends in our community o.

pears on first acquaintance to be

wrong way and makes fight, The
