When you have job Of painting

Good News of Farm Lands

It is interesting to learn from n state- ment issued ly the government agri. cultural bureau that an investigation of the productivity of farm lands shows that the lands are not becoming inn poverished, as has been ass,ried, but under modrrn methods are more pro- ductive than formerly. AS SO much is heard concerning the cutting down of the forests, tho wasting of water sources and the depletion of mineral deposits, it is comforting to hear a Wold indicating an impr )vement somewhere. .-Commer. cinl Record.
