section that will have any to buy and

time that the people everywhere re-
sponded to planting of foodstufrs as
they did this year and everybody
seems to be in the need of it and God
blessed their efforts.
Wheat sowing has taken place and
this Is the idea it seems that every
farmer is going to SOW some and if
they would take as much interest in
the sowing of wheat as they did in
planting and making the corn, there
would not be much flour sold or
bought. This would do more to regu-

I. w. Tweed and myself visited at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Boyd Smith
Sunday evening, where we took sup

he needs at home; his cribs are full
of corn and he says he has one hun
dred bushels of corn he can sell. He
has the largest home raised hog that

SIX or seven hundred pounds I told
him to weigh this hog and let me
know how much he weighed and I
will tell you more about it later,
and of course | am going back to eat
sausage meat and spare ribs, for

ing hog feed and it does away with the
dangers of out doors fires, saves fuel,
gives protection to property. He has
sold nearly every home in this Sec
tion and as I sec it, it is no humbug
but useful thing for every home.
