image of mortal thought, reflected
on the retina, is all that the eye
beholds. Matter cannot see, feel,
hear, taste, nor smell. 1t is not

The record breaking drought is

all ripening at one time, and this
condition coupled with a shortage
of farm labor often keeps the far
mer in the field until dark harvest
