A canvas of the business men OF

OF the men responsible for the success

find our shoulders aquarinty and heads
assuming higher level. But isn't
there another angle TO theis tribute 10

"Unquestionable the health, energy
and intelligence contributed by the
farmers have insured greater level.
Cpment and prosperity to the cities,
but has not teh fullest farm marketing
Of form crops ana more economical

loss Of the most ambitious farm youth
constantly moving to the cities?
without the influx of farm blood
