If Cholera Broke Out 
in 81 of 102 counties in I Illinois, would news¬ 
papers wait until from 11% to 75% of the 
people died before they advised everyone what 
to do? 
The Government map above shows 81 of 102 
counties ruined from 11% to75% by erosion, 
which will require gennerations to bring back. 
The more land ruined, the more people to be 
taken care of by taxpayers. 
CHRISTMAS TREES TO U.S.A. 
Montreal, Quebec, reports more than 
4,000,000 Christmas trees shipped from east¬ 
ern Canada to 15 states. Of the 700 carloads, 
many will go as far west as Iowa and South 
to Louislana-CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Dec. 5‘37 
Think of how high school graduates who, by 
investing from $10 to $15 yearly for 3-year- 
old WHITE, BALSAM or DOUGLAS FIR, 
COLORADO BLUE, NORWAY, BLACK 
HILL, ENGELMAN, or WHITE SPRUCE 
and allowing them to grow 3 or 4 years, could 
pay their way through college, and think of 
the farmers who could make $500 an acre, as 
reported in Government bulletins, from land 
now bringing in no income. 
The funny part of this proposition is, the 
very men who “poo hoo’’ the idea will pay as 
much as $3.00 for a tree each Christmas that 
they could buy for less than two cents each. 
Write the Dept., of Agriculture, Wash., 
for bulletin telling about the money made 
raising Christmas tres. 
ARBOR VITAE

zig zag, 18 inches apart

high, cost only—17.50

MAIDENHAIR TREES 
OLDEST AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAU¬ 
TIFUL TREES GROWN IN ASIA. BAG 
SEED 50 CENTS. 
“TOBACCO ROAD” 
The “hottest” proposition in theatrical his¬ 
tory of this generation. Closed by the police 
in many cities. The 
most sensational, yet 
authentic book, ever 
published depicting 
conditions surround¬ 
ing thousands of 
farmers with incomes 
of from 0 to a few 
dollars yearly, many 
of whom live two and 
even three families 
in a room. 
The greatest tri¬ 
umph ever opened on 
Broadway. Thousands 
turned away. Yet sensational as it is, those 
who know nothing of what becomes of the 
millions of boys and girls who flock to our 
cities from worthless soil-eroded farms with¬ 
out trades or experience or what they do for 
a livelihood should read it. 
Don’t think this applies to the south only. 
Boys and girls everywhere are out hustling 
for themselves and must make a living some 
way. 
260 pages of facts which 99 out of 100, who 
know nothing about the ways of the world, 
will say are exaggerated. 
Why pay $3.60 to see the play, or $2.59 
for the book. We send it in sealed package, 
postage paid, for $1.10. 
CREAM OF TREES 
5 and even 10 for what thousands pay for 
one tree. As soon as you receive them put 
the roots in a pail of luke warm water for 
four hours and plant in mud. Mulch with 
leaves and cuttings from your lawn and not 
a tree should die. 5 Trees-10 Trees
