LET THE FARMER HAVE HIS SAY
For a long time the rule has been
for every body but the man in ques
tion to say how the farmer should run
his business. The man on the street,
every one not earning his living out of
the soil, has had more to say about
what the farmer should do than the
farmer could possibly find time to
think about, let alone tell his troubles
to a cockeyed world. When there is
nothing else to talk about, and espec

hold their own consumption down
to the 2Vz pounds per week per
person it will moan many mil

with the armed forces and Amer
ica's allies, Beck stated.
With the smell of spring in the
air many people are feeling the
urge to polish their spade and
hoe and do some digging. It is
important that this third job of
the neighborhood leaders be com
pleted before time for seeding the
earliest vegetables, as there is the
important job of fertilizing and
planning the garden before even
the first lettuce or radishes are
seeded, states Conrad.
Meetings for community and
neighborhood leaders for the oth
er seven communities have been
announced by Conrad as follows:
Boardman FFA class room, 7:30
p. m., Tuesday Feb. 23.
