says:
Production Unequalcd
Another year of unsurpassed pros
perity to the farmers Of this country
has been added to the most remark
able series of similar years that has
come to the farmers of any country
in the annals of the worlds agricul-

change the nation from a borrower

Of the unprecedented savings that
have embarrassed local banks with
their riches and have troubled farm
ers to find investments; and, as II all
of these manifestations of high de-
gree of wellbeing were not enough,
the farms themselves have increased
in value to fabulous evtent.
Farm crops have never before been
harvested at such high general level
of production and value. The partial
failure of two or three second class
crops makes no apparent impression
upon the great aggregate OF all crops

 The two $10 bills were tied up, as Caffey thought and carefully placed in the fam fly shoes. Lawrence then told the negroes. they say, to wait until morning and at a point on the lot where an old bucket stood to begin digging.
