Right now Is the time for the farm.
ers and merchants Of Bryan to begin
the work OF getting together on the
question OF fresh vegetables for the
fall and winter. Our people can grow
them without question. and The Eagle

and more than willing TO buy them
rather than order them from a dis
lance. A definite understanding is
all that is needed Assurance by the
farmers that the merchants can de.
pend on them. and assurance by the
merchants that they will buy them
When the summer gardens are gone

vegetables from other places every
