Every landowner should realize
that it is equally as important that

it affects both landlord and tenant.
"The tremendous outlay for food
supplies and commercial fertilizers,
which is made 10y our North Carolina

them poor. Both are unnecessary if we
will adopt the means at hand and
avail ourselves of the resources at
