This is an age of change, and such a situation
would be by means public misfortune" Fox
told the Minnesonta Implement Dealers Association
in session at their annual convention.
Mr.. Fox said the development of agriculture
within recent years has paraeled that of industry
and the inevitable result vast over-production
Like industry, agriculture is beginning to feel
the necessity of better sales methods Inferior pro-
duce is going to market with the result that the
price of good produce is reduced. I believe that the
farmer has good right to question many things in
our present system OF distribution.
"The middle western farmer is confronted with
two alternatives lower cost of production
duced standard of living. To his everlasting credit
he is not willing to suffer any reduction in living
standards In fact he expects to improve them
greatly"
