OOTLv ’CTIOIT
In regard to the article on "FEEI*
IITG TIIiTK " r.3 written in the Jan.
20th. ioGuo,the 3tatonent that'
carrots- are the r.ioot desirable,
is incorrect, and should read,

important to the mink raisers of
the valley and hope this will
reach all those who nay have road
the wrong information.
Also, the Para Home and Extension

taken from the December 1939

"The basis framework of the 1939
program is essentially the same
as the 1939 program, although

ments have been mage."
" Othernew provisions in the 1939
program include the establishment
of commercial vegetable allot
ments in designated areas, addi
tional flexibility for the benefit
of the small farmer--particularly
where there is need for more
food and feed crops for home use,
the limitation of AAA payments
to $10,000. the addition of cer

The following letter has been
received by this office,(newspaper)
with the request to print it.
Dear Editor:
I enjoyed so very much
your article on different ’isms
in last weeks issue of the Settler.
Nov/ I would like to ask this
question. " If someone sells a
farmer one cow, and would ask two
cows in payment for that OITE,
what kind of ism would that be?"
Editor-- All I know is what I hear,
I have been told not to believe
anything I hear and only half what
I see. Therefore, I do not know
very much,so will leave this' r >
question open for critic-ism.
