THE HARD WAY BACK....
We have come to see that it is easier and cheaper to
keep good soil than to rebuild fertility. The latter pro-
cess is possible and pays off, but it is the hard way.
So, if you have good soil, by all means take the easier
way, and keep it good by carefully planned program of
soil conservation. You can have at no cost the latest and
best scientific information cn how to keep your soil in
the best condition without depleting it.
Our Bank is vitally interested in helping farmers,in
a soil conservation program. And come to see us if you
need credit.

The soldiers and sailors are com-

ner would like to be able to say
something about all of them In
many cases the paper is able to
secure the information for a pro-
per write up, while in others it
has been all but impossible Per-
haps in many instances we have
not even known about the boys
being discharged. Therefore, this
appeal is made to the servicemen
themselves and to their families to
see that something about them is
given to the local paper There
would be no lack of modesty in
.such a procedure. The paper and
its readers want to know about
the boys, and it would be a favor
to us for sufficient information to
be furnished the paper about their
return and their record of service.
