yam potatoes, lie has plenty of corn
and meat to do him until the next
crop comes in, and hence he is inde
pendent,
Berri-n county lands are very pro
ductive, and specially adopted to the
growth of corn, oats, potatoes, sugar
cane, peas, vegetables and fruit—just
such crops us are needed in the coun
try. There is no danger of un over
production of home supplies, us the
more abundant the supplies, the
cheaper and better the |ieople live
and the more independent the coun
try becomes.

I am glad to note the fact that
