the fuel used in the stores has been the |
corn because there is no marire fer it, yet |
thousands are starving In EaIreape
In New England there is none Of this |
Fairs held in New England have disclosed
the fact that in about two hundred local
tiles as many az 121 staple products are
raised. Out west thousa nsAs Of acres fail
to do this, and then again the Transports
ton problem enters in. Freight rates are
high, yet western feedStuffs come in to
local markets. New England should
awaken and Supply its own needs at a
much smaller cost. All the farmer asks
is a fair pay for his trodMce and labor
and there is no reason why this should
not be. The west produces quantity, New
England quality but because New Eng
landers fail to shout about their produce as
as the westerners do it is believed tht
western feedstuffs are batter The west
has quantity. Nsw England. neaIness to
market, variety and qualify what more
could be asked With a, well planned an-
vertising campaign now is the time for
| New England to come to the front. There
are thousands of acres of land IN our
states Capable of producing focdstuffs if
| irrigated and titled. Boost New England,
we have the goods here and can produce
them far better than the west because we
are 1000 miles nearer the market
| Another big problem we face both in
our New England cities and in the rural
districts is the alien question. We mus.
welcome them. They are settling on our
farm lands and making a success of farm
| ing where our own people have tailed.
| Up through the Connecticut valley hun
| dreds of the farmers are people who have
come in during the past few years They
are raising crops and foodstg1ffs needed
| in our local markets. In years to come
they will be great producers in New Eng
land. They are pilgrims the same as cur
| orefatheTs, coming TO this country in
search of a living under better conditions
than their homeland offers. Let's welcome
Them make them our friends, and thus
settle the biggest question New England
| faces today.
Following Mr. Gardeners address a
question period was held, after which re-
Ifreshments were served.
