OLIVER u. SHOCK. who gave twenty
~ five years Of his life to work in conncc
tion with the State Board Of Agriculture
and the State Department of Agriculture, ia
convinced that the farmers of Pennsylvania
are today mixing more wisdom and money
than ever before. The reward, generally
speaking. is not only equal to the labor, but
with substantial interest added.
The newspapers. he says and he is still
deeply interested in agriculture. although
identified with another state department,
are dcvOting more space to farming and its
problem than ever before.
The State Chamber of Commerce is taking
up the subject. and is endcavOring to bring
about more amicablc relations between
farmers and manufacturers.
Ranking institutions are adding to their
lists the names Of thousands Of farmers and
dairymcn 70 whom they send copies Of their
various publications from time to time.
To all Of these Mr.. Schock points as cv-
donce that the status of the farmer Is
changing rapidly, and his value as an
economic factor is becoming more highly
appreciated.

couldn't; he was fast there.

fast to the stoop. No wonder the

loose! And l guess it was your

And so it was. Uncle Wiggily'S
trousers were ripped a little. But
when Nurse Jane poured little
warm water around where the bun
ny had sat in the paste, he easily
could get loose and stand up. Then
he didn't sit in any more sticky
stuff, but he mended the kite and
all was well. And if the ice cream
