However, the average OF $1,000 which

This 400 and the 5000 or 10000 who
may follow them will die On their own

And there's point. They viii die
on their own farms not on a BY street

clined to stay pat He does not desert
the farm the minute II IS paid for. II
is his home, not a stopping place. He
will live and work on it as long as he
may and be buried from it when he
dies.
