GREAT MARKET IS HERE
NiCc-Prc>idcnt Of New England Council Believes Quality Not Bal lyhOo, Is Certain to Give North east Position of Distinction.

"The trend of agriculture l.
 swinging back east" said Henry Trumbull, vice. president of the New England council, in an address tc the New Britain Exchange club at { it's aunua' ladies' night celebration at the Burritt hotel last evening. After having gone 10 the west and the mid west the pendulum of agriculture is swinging back towards the east,' he said. "The last hope
 of the western farmer is the
 proposed farm relief which is before
 congress. We of New England be-
 licve that 10 be an Unsound project.
 and we believe President Coolidge
 is Of the same opinion. Whether by congress and the president is not known, but il is generally known that despite efforts of congress 10 keep agricultural activities in the west at post war height, the trend is steadily shifting back towards the cast
 '1r Is said that New England is slipping. That is not true. But to prevent any 'slipping,' as it Is term ed, the New England council. con- posed of 12 representatives of each of the six New England states, have sci forth five basic principles upon which tc devote considerable time and research in an effort to improve. They are agriculture, public rela- tons. electric power, industrial and community research and recreation.
 Ballyhoo Methods Taboo
 we of New England are not. sat isfied with the advertising campaigns being carried on by such states as Florida and California. Such bally- hoo methods arc taboo in this state especially. At the last session of the state legislature. we cndeavored to pass a bill calling for the establish mont of an advertising commission. The wholesale protest 10 that move showed us that Connecticut will nev- TT be satisfied with any advertising campaign shouting aloud its possibil- ltl"s It was generally believed that no community was substantially aided by the introduction of outside industries to it's midst. Instead. Connecticut has built itself from within and we have determined that. instead of eXpending the energy nec- eSsary for the proposed advertising on any broadcasting meth ods. we would use 1t for research within the state itself"
 Mir. Trumbull went on to say that in his opinion agriculture held the foremost position in the five pur- poses of the New England council.
 Success Based on Agriculture
 There Is q sad lack of knowledge present concerning the interrelation of agriculture and industry. We have come 10 the belief that agriculture is a dead issue with this territory We have said, Let the other sections of the country handle the agricu- ure. Let states that have the atten- ion to give and the soil 10 use. at end to the agricultural end. Upon closer study We have found that the oaslc principles of all civilization nave depended upon agriculture. I . realize that that is a broad state | nent, but It has been found that the | oasis of all industrial success has de- | pended upon the advance of agri- i. 'ulture. Industry has always follow | d agriculture.
