MARSHALL, MINN. 
Last year we sold 23,000 tomato 
plants, 31,000 cabbage and 2,000 
sweet potato plants to say nothing 
of a great number of onion inputs 
and sets. 
I may be a farmer again as I 
bought a Big Farm of 40 acres, a few 
months ago, east of Marshall. We 
never can tell what might take place 
as we must win the war. If I can 
help by raising more crops, I will 
sure do so. Perhaps I am like the 
farmer that a high powered salesman 
was trying to sell him a bicycle, to 
save gas and tires. The farmer not 
being interested replied, ‘‘I’d rather 
buy a cow.” “But think,” said the 
salesman, ‘‘what a fool you’d look 
riding about on a cow.” Answered, 
the farmer, “Not half such a fool 
as I’d look trying to milk a bicycle.” 
This may not be the best year for 
a seedsman, as there no doubt will 
be a shortage of some varieties of 
seed. <A little free advice wouldn’t 
hurt anybody. I'll say it might be a 
wise thing to order your seed early 
whether you order from us or some
