Dallas News,
A few days ago we had something

for. This is said not only from OBJ

but also from experience. A recent
writer tells Of how many farmers OF
his acquaintance In a Western State

TO each family. or course, the cult
walton Of ordinary staple crops Is
not the kind Of farming done In such
cases. but 1t does show that II the

writer above referred to, mentions
one man who had only half an acre.
The man very carefully planned his
