divine power can keep it from
full tide,

Every exchange that comes to
our desk has mention of people
who are leaving for places that
they think are better and where
conditions are more promising
than the place where they are.
While the people here have had
discouragements and there is not
much promise of fat living in this
part of the country, yet we are
fortunate indeed that we have as
much as we have this year. There
is one great lesson that we have
forcibly demonstrated this year
and that is that the man who has
been wise enough to plant some
sorghum variety of crop is the
man who will undoubtedly have
some feed this winter. In some
places even rough feed is minus
quantity, and in better parts of
the state than this is considered tc
be.
