"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine" Did you ever realize the meaning of these words? If your house,

barn or garage needs repairing, don't leave it go until next year, do it now, while prices are right. And furthermore if you neglect re-pairing, your house will look old for another year or probably two.

We have recently installed machinery for an up-to-date cement block plant, so should you be in the market for cement blocks, come and see us. We can give you attractive prices on these.

Hayes Four Wheels regulate depth of planting to the fraction of an inch. The runners set back between the wheels within ten inches of the covering point. Even depth of planting is vitally im-portant. Especial care should be exercised when the seed is weak and the spring cold and backward, as uneven depth of planting is certain to result in partial loss or total failure.
