The telephone has spoiled the farm

gan, a Virginia planter and horse
breeder, who is at the Hotel Nc
Alpin. He deplored the fact that
farms have suffered 50 during the
past few years and blames these
modern things for bringing about the
change.
'Thirty-fve thousand farms were
abandoned in 1919 in the great EN-
pire state alone, according to de-
partment Of agriculture statistics" ;"
said Mr.. Finnegan. "You can't make
new farmers overnight, you know
and even though there may be a
strong back to the farm movement
it will be years before they can hope
to be successful.
"But in spite of this lack of in

denying certain allegations which
had been previously made against
him. One OF them was that he had
