Those communities that are prepar-
ing to put on exhibits at the Fair
here next year can do nothing better
than to spray some fruit to put into
their booths. Sprayed fruit will make
an outstanding appeal to all those
who see it as well as be profitable to
the owner of the orchard.

w. B. Overman bought a SOW and
nine pigs Oct. goth for $500. He
sold last week five of them for $24.00.
He has the sow and four shotes left.
Some one must pay for keeping a
brood sow. Because you have lost
money the last few years on hogs is
no reason why you will continue to do
so. There are few farms that do
not need brood sow, yet we would
not suggest that any farmer just
now go get four where he needs one
1t would be just like manufacturers
owning four factoriese when they
have material for only one.
