judicious use of fertilizers, and the

An Illinois man told me yesterday
that if he could call back a few years
he would invest all the money he
could raise in the pine lands of this
peninsula and plant the woods in
castor beans, we call it palma chris
ia, and after two years he would
gather and press the beans 365 days
in the year, and live easier and make
more money than the owners of Grip

to get b better price for your cotton,
and man with one eye can see it,
and that is to grow less cotton. The
