WISE AND OTHERWISE


1t is surprising what an authority
on gardening a person can become
after reading a couple of columns OF
farm hints in the newspapers.
A public desire is manifested to
hang the food spectators, but more
suffering could probably be inflicted
on them by forcing them into bank

Farm implements reported short.
They can't be repaired in summer
because everyone is too busy, nor in
winter because they AREN'T needed
then.
The need of more freight trains
which the Council of National De-
fence has at last arranged to provide
for, has long been pointed out by
Wandering Willie and Dusty Rhodes.
A shortage is reported on all ma
terials and element contributing to
agricultural production, except talk.

the farmer is pictured with don't look
