can make the farm more profitable

become convinced of this fact and
ouit the precarious business Of cut

timber. except in off : asons when
the farm does not require their daily
attention, the entire country OF ms

at the hundreds Of thousands OF dol

and see what we are missing IN mol
making an effort to help supply these
great markets almost at our door. a
little more attention to the trimming
and spraying Of fruit trees. Mite
more time and money spent on the
truck patches and little more at

our people will begin to feel that
prosperity is within their reach. II
anything we may say, no matter VIII
how much skepticism received by
some people. shall encourage those
who should farm to turn their at

feel well repaid for our efforts.
