are in business and what they have t:
sell by advertising, get their full
share Of business to do.
Out over the county there seems t.
be a new interest in that Fundamental
business Of farming; many are pre-
pairing to keep tab on expenses anC
receipts as well as investment ant

basis for fixing the price Of the farm
