Monday morning we had the pleasure of a call from our good friend Mr. John D. Winstead, and during his conversation he remarked that the trouble with too many of the farmers in this section was their failure to raise their own home supplies and rough food for their stock.
Mr. Winstead raising his own bread and meat, and besides raises more than he can consume on his farms in the way of corn, grasses, etc., always having a surplus which he sells, in fact, he says, he does little more just now than make both ends meet and if he had to buy these things, he does not see how he could do even that well. There are few better farmers than Mr. Winstead, and it is well worth while for any man who says he can not afford to grow grasses to visit this farm and see how easily it can be done.
