PLEADS FOR FARMERS.
Former Senator Camden Says Exc
dus Must Be Stopped.

Former Senator johnson N. Camden
of Kentucky, before leaving Washing
ton yesterday, in an interview called
upon the bankers and business men OF
the south to fulfill their obligations to
the farmers in the calamity which has
fallen upon them as a result of the war
in Europe.
THE exodus from the farm must be
stopped" he said. Rural social condi-
tions must be improved and made as
attractive in their way as city life. Un-
less the restlessness aRd discomfort OF
tae boys and girls on the farm is over
come no one can tell what the end Will
be.
This problem can be solved by de-
yjsing means to increase wealth on the
farm by improved methods of produc-
tion. Increased farm yields and better
methods of distribution. With increased
wealth will come better social, educa
tional and religious facilities. With
more comforts will come greater con-
tentment."
