out 1900 bushels. He has lots or
ripe corn already and the corn pros
poets on his farm were never better.

business man, and one VINO conducts
his farm on business principles. He
also has a fine herd of 50 cattle,
which are a valuable adjunct to his

busy looking after his large inter
ests, which he has acquired by hard,
persistent work.
