to the United States, said when inter-
viewed by a Danish newspaper man
relative to the prospects for Danish
exports to the United States: 1.-THE

port these from Denmark than from
the British colonies and II Is going to
be a long time yet before the United
States will introduce Danish scientific
farming methods and especially such
as are In vogue here In Denmark.
Strange as 1t may seem America,
though a wonderfully progressive
country, is very conservative. espe-
cially so far as the Southern states
are concerned. And this Is particu-
larry true regarding farming.
