Instead o giving us a piece of meat and a hunk of bread, w e think the following items should be sub stituted: 10 gallon s gas. 1 quart of oil 5 pounds of flour. 10 picture show tickets. 25 prize-fight tickets. 2 pounds of beef. 25 bcttles of Coca-Cola. 1 inner tube.' — 10 boxes of cigarettes. 12 boxes snuff.

The Way We Fe«J About It. _(By Tom Kahoa, Springdale* Ark.)_ Now I realize that we farmers have caused an over-production. . For years we listened with doubt to the ■claims of the agfricultura) collages that if us old mossbaeks < would go g-awld-roaka twJM grass grow wher e the Almighty only had one in mind. _ WfilL, we finally got organisa&. got I ourselves a county agent, agricultural teacher, couple extra hired hands, enough machinery on time to put on our fifty-year pfegram, and we grew the extra blade. ' Now along come these same mod ernists and tell us to plow up every third row, pull out each seventh hill, cut down every third tree, and dis pense with half our vines. Now I ain’t much on mathematics but 'pears to me^ that we are practically back where we started except, of course, the tractor folks attached our car, the banker got the South 40, and the milking machine folks have already arranged for the cream checks for some time to come. One of the la>t things we heard before they come and took the radio* was that we were in the midst of e depression. But of course that’s all right. Un derstand, we ain’t kickin’ or nothin’/ and now that we are raising too much we weren’t surprised in the least to hear bur betters’ opinion that the way cut off the depression was for most of the city fclks to take up farming. We-all read 'quite an article the other day entitled “Driven Back to Paradise.” And we looked with pride on the old coon dog; she’s got four pups, bright a? can be, and folks, there ain’t a dollar agin her. She’s all ours, and her title is clear. Lsee down in Argentine that they arp rather successful with large scale farming. Of course, as the article points out, the owners are very pros perous, but that centralized fanning low standard of living that the farm laborers have; I should say not! Why about all those poor peon s have is a home, food, clothes, a little money— and they can’t buy a thing on credit. Peer, devils! . Well, gue?s I better get out and start givin’ that third row fits. Also got to cut that nice peach tree down by the chicken house. Hate to, was good shade but that was the only tree designated by the secretary of the Pulling, Cutting, Grubbing, Demolish ing, Uprooting League of this coun try—Southern Farmer.
