heavy in grass. and put him to work
Mr.. ChamblisS says that the man was
willing TO receive instruction, and de-

had. and helped him out wonderfully.
This spring. when the planting sea-
son opened. Mr.. Chambliss offered 10
crop with him as with other tenants.
The man was eager for the OppOrtun-

industry, succeeded in growing a fine
crop. On the LIST of June the crop he'd
been gathered and marketed, and Mr.
ChambIiss SOS that today this gentle
man who last summer came to him
