years of use at very small cost.
So that you may have this work done economically
ami satisfactorily, the Ford Motor Company is still de
voting u considerable section of its plants to the manu
facture of Model T parts. It will continue to do so as
long us they are needed by Model T owners. The follow
ing list gives the approximate labor charges for recon

Leaving Lovers’ Lain we came in

beautiful.

Really the Milstead teachers proved
on this trip that they were keen ob
servers as well as “Good Swimmers."

B How to grow cotton at a lower cost per pound is the big Si
B problem the Southern Farmer faces today. There is
abundant evidence to show how this can be done.
B THE FAMOUS PORTER FERTILIZERS I

Bties. A liberal amount of this well balanced fertilizer will f|
produce larger profits from cotton. U
Farmers’ crop contests, results of experiment station tests, 8

Bly demonstrate that the more liberal use of a well-balanc
