trenches in this section, put on
their Agricultural harness this
spring without the breeching,

bristle collar on couldn't get on
the hurry wagon.
We are contesting every inch Of
the ground, but in places Gen.
green has already raised his flag!
Well guess we went over the
top or under the bottom, or some
where with the Irish potato busi-
ness. Any how we made lots Of
potatoes, and there's myself and
no one else that | have talked
with, that got enough out of their
potatoes to pay their seed or fer
tilizer bill. Guess that will slow
up the potato biz alright.
But we are fighting right on
just the same and we will only
lay off our cultivating harness, to
put on our harvesting harness
in fact there's very little thatlooks
like slackerism in our sector ex-
cept the boy in the plow trenches
having to stop to dip cattle every
