Natural Action
To make or receive a telephone call I
is the most natural thing in the /
world. And that’s as it should be. I
Although just a few short years J
ago the telephone was a comparative j
luxury, it is certainly a necessity /
today. I
, Increasing usefulness keeps your
telephone the biggest bargain in
your family budget. jy

of 1,550 pounds per acre. If realized,
this yield would be the second high
est of record, being exceeded pnly by
he 1952 average yield of 1,590 pounds.
Favorable weather during October en
abled growers to get a large portion
of the crop picked with a minimum
amount of loss in threshing.
For the Nation, a crop of 1,071 mil
lion pounds is expected for 1964. Such
a crop will be 33 per cent below laAU
year’s production of 1,588
pounds.
It is more important to know where
you are going than to get there quick
ly. Do not mistake activity for
.achievement.
