Forest Fires Help
Our Enemies At War
Uncontrolled forest and woods
fires are working for the Axis ene
my. When fires burn the South's for
ests they demage trees which could
have provided forest products needed
on fighting fronts of the war. All of
us should be extra careful with fire
in the woods during wartime. Let's
use our forests , to fight the enemy.
Our carelessness with fire in the
woods must not aid the Axis.
HAIL! HAIL!
This year it will surely be expensive for you to raise any
crop increased costs of fertilizer, seed, labor, insecti
cides, tools, etc. The difference between the cost of crop
production and established selling prices may result in a
limited profit. You cannot afford, particularly this year,
to have your crops lashed, riddled, ripped, or dented by
hail unless you are insured. A hailstorm may completely
ruin your crop or reduce the grade. Investigate how
little hail insurance costs ask NOW. Tell us the
kind of crops you raise and the number of acres, and we
will gladly quote you without obligation.
