"And the Nation is Dependent Up
on the Farms" The above motto
should hang upon the walls of both
houses of the General Assembly and
pc added to the chaplain's daily prayer
Turing the next session of the Legis-
ature, or until the repeal of such laws
as taxing over 40 hens, and the law
by which a farmer must pay tax on
more property than he owns. A farm
n usually keeps hens as a side issue
With but little gain and he cuts his
lock down and produces fewer eggs
'ather than pay the extra tax. If our
legislators are given time enough
hey will succeed in doing away with
arming altogether. Anyway it is our
opinion that instead of leaving the
arm for a more "active career" old
md young leave it because their man.
Icles are too heavy.
