grass will lay the dust and keep the
farms at Home," Qulnby declares.

other minimum functions In the care of
her bodily needs.
Infinite patience was required In
the training of the child that was abso

The drop is explained by the fact that

Now, with farm prices low, farmera

turning to horses. They find It more
economical to feed oats to horses than
to sell the oats to buy gasoline.
