By MELVIN A. TRAYLOR First Vice President American Bankers Association. recent years agriculture and the welfare of the farmer ' have been our most fruitful topics «f conversation. Political fortunes have revolved around the unhappy 5 i uation of the farmer, and the business rometer has gone up and down with varying proposals for his relief.

America would not be able to feed ‘ta rapsily increasing popu- lation unless there wis improvement in soil culiure, fertilizatie:, reforestation and la;yer producton. .What is the situation now? The worry seems no longer to be for food for the hurgry millions but for more millions to conzume our tons of food.
