Isn’t it great to hum along the highway in a
car fresh out of the showroom? But how long

time to buy one.

more ginger in the going and more miles out
of the gas.) There’s more safety for you in the
biggest brakes and the only full-length box-

GRASS
The good farmer these days is the one who makes his
grass walk to market and make his soil stay at home. And
if he has plenty of grass that is not overgrared he can get
both jobs done with one lick. The best way to hold the soil
against erosion by wind or water is with grass. 'But people
don’t eat grass and you can’t sell it for food. The only way to
■ell grass is for feed for livestock. Grass is good eating after
it’s changed to meat and milk.
