 There is man, however, who knows bet these commanded the attention services pro gressive leaders, to the almost total exclusion of terest in the Farmer, his needs and s.luauon. He was remembered chifely at election tme--and then it was to get something out of him, not to do something for him.
 Only few persons were engaged in trying make the Farmers business more efficient, and of these fewer still did anything with an undivided purpose to aid him.
 How the Farmer has been held LID by trusts when he bought; beaten down by he sold; derided by ignorance when he appeared city; ignored when he. would send his representa- tives to 1egislature-a1 these njustces form some of the best known chapters in the history of American agriculture.
 The effect of this began to appear. Young people are sensitive, not ready to weigh certain attitudes ill the balances of impartial judgment; thus there began decrease in the number of Far mers sons following the ancient profession of agri- culture.
 This it's cities, on the cost of living until there was never time in the history of the world when the value of Farming was more profoundly appreciated than it is today.

 More than that, inventive genius has placed it. self at the Farmers service, and it will be found that this inventive ability did not originate in cities. but on farms One who has gone from the Farm to the machine shop, all his life has worked at intervals in both, has better idea of the Far mers needs and a more ardent desire to meet them.
