last night addressed five hundred per-
sons at a banquet given IN his honor

In the course OF his remarks Mr..
Hill advocated the development OF the
agricultural interests OF the country

that no country ever prospered unless
II was based on agriculture as Its
chief industry. In thirty years he pre-
dicted that the population of this
country would be 100000 600 and that
the present methods OF agriculture
would be inadequate.
He advocated a revision Of the pres
