4 Both are experienced farm women,
and II is their belief that there is a
good future in their chosen profession
in this section. With potatoes selling
at their present high price there are a
great many others in Arcadia and else
where who doubtless will agree with
them. They also plan to put in plot
OF alfalfa"
