Friday, Aug. II. 49, Darth, Lee and
lCryer are all cutting corn for the ST.
lo;Kemp, Van. De Boer,Crawford,
and Waters are hauling the corn with
mule teams, while Warren Fread is
hauling with Fordson and they ex-
pect to complete the job by noon to-
morrow Lindsey and Marchick assist
ed by the dairy crew, Rowe, Baldwin
and Demaree, are running the ensilage
cutter and filling the silo. w. Beavers
and Chappelle are walling up the big
well at the dairy with brick and it may

supply us with an excellent food for
as well as for the horses,
mules, hogs, cattle, and chickens, and
ave US a large sum of cash. You see
he big problem we have to solve is to
produce all the necessaries of life and
provide cooperative living that can
uEpass what competition does provide.

What we produce and as no one is more
deserving Of the good things of life than
he producer, why shouldn't we expand
IS fast as we can. Next step will pro-
ably be to the Isle of Pines for fruit. {
DON'T you think our rice ranch pur-

ying about the future, but we are very
nxlous to get ourselves in position J
