a series Of the greatest az. icultural
crops ever known in this or any

can and Russian Japanese wars
brought millions in trade to this
country. The large glutinous cor

wages one hundred per cent and
his cost of living one hundfec and

to trusts and monopolies for the
manufacturing of the necessary COM
