This country is rapidly populating; land
always going to need something good and
wholesome to eat. What could be a more
useful or profitable investment than buying
land and planting food-bearing trees, such
as pecanS, pears, SFdpeS, pluInS, llSSp wal
nuts-in fact, anything that is adapted to
the soil and climate? This will help won
derfully to keep the cost of living low. 1t
will make the country richer, for land that
could not be used otherwise could raise food
producing trees. 1t is the food producers
who uphold and maintain the country. These
valusble trees beautify the landscape and
make the owners rich, and the country in
general healthier, because food that is so
good is so plenteous. This would not be
difficult for anyone who would like to make
this investment, for this is the day Of the
automobile, and if you lived in the city you

stay just weeny little while, so l can tell
the cousins how much 1 enjoy their nice
letters. enjoy them more than words can
express. live on farm, and like farm
life best. AS 1t seems to be the rule, will
describe myself: Brown, curly hair; brown
weigh ninety eight pounds. Well, Mr..
Wastebasket, if 1 have broken my promise,
please excuse a very humble little girl.
Some one guess my age; it is between eleven
and fifteen. I will say good-by.
