IN MEMORY
In memory of our father and bus I
nd, N T Lcggett, who died Feb.
. 1940.
One year has passed dear Daddy.
Since you were called away;
How well do we remember
That sad and weary day.
We do not know, we cannot tell.
What pains, you had to bear.
But God maketh no mistakes.
So you lay and suffered there.
You often called up heaven,
While on your bed your lay;
How sweet to trust in Jesus.
While here on earth you stay.
Though times may come and flourish
And friends do as they will;
But there's a vacant place,
That never can be filled
Dear Daddy, we miss you every
where,
Life is not the same,
But when we stop and think how
much you suffered,
And we know God hath eased your
pains; %
So "sleep on in that restful sleep
until we meet again.
Sadly missed by wife and children.

Peanuts NEE Potasl
TN addition to increasing yields, potash makes
peanuts larger, fills out the shells, and re
duces the number of "pops." More than $15
increase in profit per acre has resulted where
peanuts were grown with 40 lbs. of actual pot
ash. A mixed fertiliser containing 8% potash
applied at the rate of 500 lbs per acre or 80
lbs. of a high-grade potash material will supply
40 lbs. or more of actual potash.
See your fertiliser dealer or manufacturer.
You will be surprised how little it costs to apply
enough potash for a good peanut crop and still
not rob the soil for the crop following. Consult
your county agent or experiment station for the
right fertiliser for your farm. Write us for further
information.
