More improvements will be
seen in Livingston in the near
future.'
Polk county is going to make
a record this year in farming.
The farmers are all going to
work like they mean business.
What Livingston needs now is
a canning factory to take care of
the fruit and vegetables that
will be raised in Polk county
this year.
We want to help the farmers
in every way we posssibly can
and to do this we would like to
have a-statement 1'r.pin those who
have made a record on raising
potatoes, corn, peanuts or any
farm product. We want to pub-
lish such statements and by so
doing other farmers will become
interested in raising produce,
and when enough is raised to
make car load shipments the
buyers will come to our county.
We will not have to look for a
market the market will come to
us.
