thought, since the affair Is to DO EN-

itself ran an agricultural train through
this section last summer. will be only
too glad TO assist in making success
OF the Innovation. and will provide
the train at very reasonable expense.
Upon securing the. train at a reason
able cost depends the whole success
of the venture.
II the train can be secured It is
planned to hale 1t start early in March
rs this Is the best time of the year to
enter the chicken industry, and tour
