FROM STEENS

The farmers are very busE Ecw
killing grass. snakes, etc
We notice that some Of us have
learned that the better way 20 raise
the price Of cotton is 10 prepare Tor
! living at home by raising such
! things as are needed Our soil IS
/ adapted TO almost everything needed
( for food stuns for the home and oa
the farm, and if these thinss are
gathered from the fields. then the
/ farmer can hold his cotton without
/ reaching back for the few dollars
that have been saved for the rainy
/ day TO buy corn, hay, potatoes. mo
/ 1asses. etc. like we have seen some
of our farmers do so often. The
Farmers Union should adopt This
plan; then even those Who run small
farms could afford to hold their cot

of Heaven and are so much mistaken E
as some seem 10 think. am sure we .
need a missionary at home perhaps E
