This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man car

The sure and certain increase IN
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and

no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's q time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food

A good piece Of garden ground,
