OF agriculture is working III con-
junction with the commercial

membered that l.. 3. Clore. OF
Johnson county and NJ. Palm
Of Fountain county. this state,
have within the past year taken
the two highest prizes i'll corn
that have been offered at the

At a meeting of the state board
If agriculture, Governor Marshal
oppressed the opinion that the
resent excessive cost OF living is
argely the fault OF the people
themselves. who will not 90 OH,
IN the farm and produce food
tufts. In his speech to the mem-
pers OF the board the governor
said;
Il am not fully acquainted with
he purpose and aim OF the board
renee, am not in any position
o advise you. II | were to offel
,ou any advice it would be thai

l movement TO break up the bis
arms of Indianl into smaller
Dnes, and to induce the people il
titles. who are now ekirg out T;
are existence, in the mills ano
| actorIes to 90 out and occupy
hem. 1t seems to me that this j:
he most important question con
ronting an organization OF agri
'utune in this state. 1t seems Il
ne that we have too MANY lawy
'rs. doctors and office holders IL
his state and not enough of me,
'ho are producing things To-
heir fellows to eat. While | an
lad to see the cities flourish,
egret to see so many young mel
eaving the farms to go to tn,
titles, where they must face In,
''ardest kind \of a fight to keer
Nodv and soul together"
The governor dwelt at som,
'angth on the Increased cast t
he consumer in the : ity OF but
er, eggs, milk and other farm
PRODUCTS. and that the only wa,
% solve 1T, as he saw it. was
nl1uce more people TO produo'
hese products and said that h,
believed the state board could d,
great deal toward turning til,
tide OF young men from their
tendencies to get away from tina
sort Of work.
