The yield is impossible wherever the

the outsider has little real aDluty 10

But he should have an open re

and unless he reads or learns by some
means other than his own hard
knocks on his own farm, il will take
him too long To find the wise course
TO pursue. He should not assume that
he knows it all. This season is going
to impress the cotton growers right
along. He will lose something for be

have many regrets. Experience is n
