CORN AND OATS
Progressive Farmer Advises Plant
ing These Crops

Editor of The News:
There is no kind of grain product
that will take the place of corn and
oats. 1 have always been partial to
the growing of these two crops.
There is nothing that i like better
than to see the corn about the fifth
or sixth morning after it has been
planted in well prepared seed bed
come twisting up through Mother
Earth from whence all things come
and to notice it as it takes on a
new leaf and still another blade and
another and at length it begins to
bunch its magnificent top to make
the tassel then the shoot from
which comes the King of all field
products. 1t has been said that the
farmer who has corn, plenty of corn,
has everything. 1t seems to be the
breath of life for all living creatures
have never been on farm around
home where there was plenty of
corn and seen any poor animals or
fowls. 1t seemed like they knew
the corn was there and that they
were satisfied and certain for their
part of that corn. But on the other
hand L have been to places where
there WAS no corn and il seemed
that these same living creatures

grown. When the trees are given
the proper care and attention, they
will bear heavy wields every year.
Under proper treatment the trees

used, but for commercial use care
