And just look at the good men in the county who r no land who are willing to work if we would only give them a chance, but it seems that we are too close fisted to giro such men all they can make one or even two years to clean up and put "in proper culti vation. Such plots of land are ly ing idlo that would add greatly to the Taluo of our farms were they cleaned out, tsKJcs they would support a number of fs mi lies throughout the. country.
