The Treubir with New EnEiaud Fnrrns'
The board of trade met Yesterday, and
Col Alexander Warner of Woodstock, ex
state treasurer. spoke upon The decline
off agricultural interests in New England.
Mr. Warner said that he had given the sub
icct some thought. and had reached pro
nouuced ideas upon il There Is an unusu

up industries and a new market for the
farmer Towns and villages grew, and the
farmers began 30 realize that they were he

farm products brought high prices, and the
farmers sold everything they could spare
and they didn't nut the money they got
back into their farms, but into banks and
other financial institutions The farmers,
many of them. died, and their depleted
farms passed into other hands. For cent

This touches upon one of the secrets,
perhaps the foundation one, Of the under
lying trouble with New England farming.
la the old DAYS It was a farmers ambition,
and the sum of his life work to own

sustenance for himself and his family. 1t

generation of farmers in love with their
farms and willing to give their best
energies to them, finding their real riches
