lected to extend an invitation to
County Agent and Mrs. Cooret, as
well as Farm Bureau officers and
others interested in the advancement
of this community, and OF Lincoln
County, to attend any and all OF our
meetings. We trust that friends will
visit with us and help us to solution
of the problems which confront us.
Projects which deserve and require
our undivided support are: Fencing
the schoo, yard, beautify the same by
the planting CT shrubs, vines, flowers,
etc, piping water to the school house,
and placing the name Of the school
house so that passersby may know the
identity of the community. Lack OF

which can be overcome now as well
as five or ten years from now.

Why? asks a contributor, do we
raise hogs? He goes on to say that
! they only consume valuable foods such
as expensive mill feeds and skim milk
which can be converted into valuable
human foods such as Prim, cottage
cheese, etc Is the answer found in
. the fact that we like bacon and ham!
AS Rudolph Thompson once fittingy
. remarked, Its the taste I'm after"
The same contributor asks Other
/ pertinent questions: Why raise wire
grass? It has no commercial value
Why raise evergreen black berries
Their value depends upon their use by
I moonshiners who are nuisance ant
menace and may land behind the bar!
I some fine day He might find many
( other problems of which to remind III
I and will doubtless do so.
