THE FARMER As A BUSINESS MAN.
There is q disposition in the commc.
cial world to 'slur" the farmer. IT,,

men who ought to know better have in.
consid' ratcly come to believe that the
farmer is "a back number and that "no.
body with brains or amb ton is ans
longer a farmer" Farmers boys and
girls have taken up the refrain. and
