In Need of Water on Land.

times it would keep it up for hours.
The pains would rum up into my

dc light work on the farm, such as

II is not possible to devise a general

There is not wisdom enough in this

Washington can not create labor and

cal initiative and local responsible

The farmers will do their full
duty in planting. The governmental
agencies will do all that they can
do and we may reasonably expect a

communities, especially of the cities.
will assume their part of the bur
den, there need be no doubt of the
result, but If the cities persist in
plunging for profit and in enjoying
their ease, expecting the govern

fighters nor producers may suffer
some privation.
