NEW MADISON, O., Feb. 2. One farmer who was not so severely hit by ibe drop in values as many in that ndustry, lives in this community. He is J. R. Mills on Route 2. Mr. Mills' fortunate condition is due to the fact that he fed his grain and sold the stock before the drop, receiving 16 cents for 111 head of hogs, and 11 cents fo cattle sold at the same time. In addition, Mills had 1,400 bushels of potatoes which were bid for by Richmond wholesalers, but sold by Mills direct to consumers in the city. Much of the credit for the crop or potatoes can be given to Mr. Mills' four sons, who tended the patch. That this was no sinecure is testified by them. "It is good rich black ground, fine for potatoes and for weeds," they said. "Those weeds grew up in one night." The boys succeeded, however, and Mr. Mills says that it was not necessary to pay out a cent for outside help this year. The boys have other interests than their work, however, being enthusiastic basketball fans and devoting much energy to the game, as well as to their work. Mr. Mills has a 145 acre farm on

which he raised 40 acres of corn, 700 bushels of wheat and 13,000 pounds of tobacco last year.

You want a real cigarette that is full-bodied, with that good old tobacco taste. That's why we put Kentucky Burley heart-leaf in Spur. A totally different kind of leaf is needed for that spicy, aromaticaroma. That's why we put rare and choicest selection of Macedonian leaf in Spur.

Then there is the leaf that gives "life" and "sparkle" to the blend. That's why we put Qolden Virginia in Spur. And it is possible to matee a cigarette that burns just right yes, cool-burning. That's why we put Maryland'grown leaf in Spur
