DR. Knapp is, perhaps, as we'll known
in the agricultural world as any man
engaged in the improvement of agricul-

speaker. and has consented to leave
his work in the South long enough to

Husband and wife are supposed to
be one. but when it comes to questions
of property the law regards them as
separate individuals for the most part
and many hardships arise from the for
getfulness of this fact.
"The mass of women. even those who
have property and education, are very
ignorant about these matters, and in
my experience as a lawyer many dis

ance have come to my attention" Mrs.
