CHEER UP, FRIENDS, 1T ISN'T so
BAD

Are you one of the pessimists who
are looking down their noses and
grumbling these days about their soft
corn?
Forget it, good friend
What would you have, anyway?
Isn't your soft corn really worth as
much or more than you have got for
good corn in the past? 1t doesn't
make any difference whether you sell
it or not. With pork ranging from
$3.50 upwards, mostly upwards, can't
you turn your soft corn into more
money than you ever got for corn in
your life until a year ago?
| But you say you have to handle
it over two or three times to keep it
from spelling and have to go to no
tilating your cribs.
Isn't it worth it? In handling it
over, you find that it isn't really all
bad, but that there is after all, and
i'll spite of your pessimism, lot of
i good marketable corn that is good for
around SIPS, especially if you hold
it. Can't you afford to handle it over
in view of this, especially when you
consider that even the poorest can be
converted into good money.
OF course, it would be much more
pleasant to have bumper crop Of
good corn, and sell it all for $1.25 OF
$3.50 per bushel. But did you eve1
notice that things don't ALL breal
in your favor in this world? TIL.
truth is that some break our way ant
some, the other, in spite of all ou
skill; and judgment, for there are 81
many things that are beyond our con
troll. Really, it seems that we ough
to be satisfied in this world if NOR,
doesn't it now? But that isn't enough
to satisfy us this year. All no; w
are sore and discouraged now becaus
EVERYTHING didn't break our wa
at once and give us harvest beyon
anything we have ever dreamed abor:
in years gone by.
:, Then let us drop this pessimism.
