Two groups of cereals are to be

oatmeal, buckwheat and barley; (2-)
those that are primarily starchy, is

I want to 'shdw rhy appreciation . of The
Progressive Farmer in a. few words. When I
married and began the happy life of a home
maker I found I didn't know . Very much
about home-making, as far as the garden and
surroundings were concerned.' I have been
an .Interested- student' "of The Progressive
Farmer for more than a year, and find that
the help it has given me is unequalled in any
other paper. Allow me to say, "Long live
The Progressive Farmer and its editors."
