In which our troiAa rnvo started.

What ot the Kkiidft Bssln?
Tills year, 186H I1I be our year
of decision.
We have gr undeveloped
wealth. Believe I r not, we've
only scratched III Mir face of even

You know, of curse, ot the pro

verting our old taiua Into valu
able products. ti should know
that lodsepole pin, always lu the
past regarded asi wd tree that
merely clutters land, may be
among the mosl valuable of our

ot any of the Mmooda. No one
yet knows how niAi that fact may
mean to ui In III way ot luture

Agriculture?
listen:
We have und titter In the

rich land. The Bum's potential Is
500.000 acres. Bdsr Keno. in the

That runs up III lotal of three
