NJ. c. Shumate.-1 am going back tn

and came to town. the town men made
great fuss over me. During the

stay at my place and make me think
was one OF the funniest and smartes'
men in the state. They listened to
suggestions with great attentativeness
and fairly killed themselves laughing
at my Jokes. Now when meet them
on the street they hardly speak to
me. I have not had cigar given me

Fenner F. Burton.-Not in the his
tory of the seed business has the seed
man been confronted with such un-

were good seeds so scarce, high and
difficult to secure. 1t is not so much

secure them at all. Every farmer is
familiar with conditions prevailing on
grain and field seeds and will readily
understand the advances asked are
only in proportion to what the dealers
must pay.
