the farms Of the cut-over land area.
we do not doubt the sincerity of Mr..

building farms on cut-over lands, but

used quotation: "Oh, Consistency,
thou art a jewell Just a few items
for thought as to what has been done
and is being done on cut-over land

Ninety per cent of all the sheep
IN Louisiana are on cut-over land.
Eighty per cent Of the sweet pota-

are from the cut-over land section.
All the strawberries are from the

The cut-over section leads in the
