Become More Independent.

Judging from the reports in the
daily papere, at least third more
fertilizers have been shipped up to
this date than was shipped during
the same period last year. Evidently
the farmers propose to stop trying to
cultivate the whole earth, but let
what work they do count for some
thing. That is right farmers, but at
the same time, don't forget to diver :
sify. Do that and you will become
more independent every day of your
life.
