tie wrote to the secretary of the board
OF agriculture, asking what kind of
broom corn seed he ought to SOW to
reap the best results. II haven't given
the broom corn question much
thought" replied the secretary, "but /

The season for tree planting is at
hand and it is duty every man owes
to himself, to his family, to his neigh

useful purposes. The reasons for
planting them are too patent and too
numerous to be stated. Don't let the
season pass without having done some
thing in that line.
