 Whatever else may be the cause. of the movement from the country to the cities, it isn't the unproduc- tiyeness of the farms no" the un- pfotitableness of farming Ptob- ably among no other class of citi- Zens has there been such an ad- vance in the material comforts aud the general prosperity as among the tanners
