the program consisted of several read

and Can the average farm afford to
hire money to purchase improved farm
machinery" After full discussion it
appeared that the prevailing sentiment
was not very strong in favor of parcels
post. In regard to machinery, one
modern machine was mentioned for

: est rather than do without it. Question
for next program: els home life in

1t so, what are the causes, and what
IS the remedy?''
