Then, our food crops are coming along
splendidly, and it ib a certainty that
our farmers will have enough to eat.
Economy has reduced, or at least

agriculture will make the South com

price of cotton.
The situation is much brighter than
it was a year ago. We are going to
spend less money this year for western
grain, and the fruit crop will draw
quite a handsome pile of money down
