reaching from Washington, in the
west, to Florida, covering strip of
territory approximately fifty mile S
wide. Through this section eight to

Judge Roberts is the man, and the

$3.50, 900 to enable Mr.. Peay and Mr..
Shropshire to find out that fact, would
be so costly piece Of folly thatit is
inconceivable that either Of these

should, they must, find way to set
tie the issues between them without

Don't get in too big hurry to lay

kind of light harrow for running the
middle. This will keep down weeds
and help preserve moisture.
