The best run was on the Kennedy place, when we built about 5000 feet in one afternoon.

Folks I can’t help believing that these two crops will be very popular in the near future. Soybeans, if innoculated, will ?ive better yields. This innocula- cion can be purchased from most seed houses, or from Paul Brown icre in McCormick. If ycu intend getting molasses this year, mail your order at an early date to the County Agentfs office. Price same as last year. The Red Cross Drive was com pleted some time ago. Our quota was over subscribed as you hav* heard. Quota asked $3,200—col lected $3,264.00. I wish to thank every worker and every one who contributed. Your chairman was mighty worried at times, but was very much delighted when the quota was reached. X Drivers Of Motor Vehicles Will Be Required To Show Drivers Licenses 3:45 diction.
