interesting address, speaking in part as,
, folio was " . "
$ '.: "There are ' seven million people In
France who make their living on small
acreage tracts. There baa been a strong
movement in this country toward acre-
Age tracts, hut I predict that thera will
be lot of these tracts on the coast
on the market in tha near ruture oe
cause of lack of. knowledge en the part

to work 30 acres aa It does to work 49

that during the past season the apple
orop was. heavy anfl that consequently,
tha prices went v.tp, tha bottom. The
email tract owner. Who might have all

have a failure ou account of frosts; so
my advice is to gat a diversity .of crops

aenjat of tha menwho ar maklng-tba

on one crop, there, ara other crops that
''make for -big profit and good invest

Going elngle you are always -compelled
to pay the.; highest, freight" rates and
ere. always compelled f enter competi
