If I have planted hope today in any hopeles heart, If someone’s load has lighter grown because I did my part, If haply I have caused a laugh that . chased some tears away, And if tonight my name be named where someone kneels to pray— I claim my day has been well spent, Not lived in vain. and am content.

The problem of the best means and method to develop markets for the products of the farms that are somewhat removed from the cities and the market centers is a big on~, but plans that are now under way are expected to aid materially during the coming season. With the source of sale for their products established many farmers will work for better quality and larg- er production in their farm crops and the aid that the Department of Agri- culture can give in finding a market for these products will mean much more profit to the farmer for his la- bors. The market problem is one which has the attention of the Uniter States Government at the presnt time through the bill introduced in Con- gress by Senator Sheppard of Texas. This bill provides for the establish- tion to the alfalfa, which will do much to prevent its being frozen out.
