crop is gathered, for good healthy corn

for other sections of the South. 10
sum it up briefly, this pillow cheapens
the process of deep tilling and places
methods within the reach Of the "one
boss" farmer as well as the big
planter.
Realizing this, a number of the best
and most progressive merchants in our
county have gone into the work OF
information about the Jobson methods.
These gentlemen are well known and
their interest in bringing this benefit
to the communities they serve will be
appreciated by every man, woman and
child who realizes just what this thing
Is going to mean to us.

hard common sense about blowing In

The State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture. Hon. James D. Price, of Georgia,
said this about the book: 81 wish
every former in Georgia would get a
