when they move. carry their farms
with them as the tortoise does his

Where you or would require 20 or
80 acres of land to keep one family,
the French farmer will keep his fam

would become q millionaire. His
secret lies in the perfection to which
he brings his top soil. What with fer
tilizing and watering and clearing, his
top soil is the blacklist, finest, richest
soil on earth. His top soil is to the
French farmer what her voice is to
