Be careful what you buy and
where you buy it. This is the
time of the year when you may
be visited by someone selling
nursery stock: fruit trees and
grape vines; shrubbery and
trees for landscaping your home
Some of these people are hon
estly ignorant of what they are
doing, while others may make
offers which they know they
cannot carry out. In either case
you are left holding the bag
and faced with keen diSappoint-

does not mean that any part of
the income Of the Tribe will be

The Tribe made a similar loan
in 1898 and the loan was paid
entirely from income under the
program. This loan was never de.

was used to make payments. II
