This is the opinion of John W. Haw, director of the agricultural de-j velopment department of the North- ern Pacific Railway company, which is expressed in a review of the prog- ress made by the Northwest agricul- tural industry. He said that the farmers them- selves had brought about the most ef- fective farm relief measures, and he stressed these changes which farmers ; have made in the last eight years: They have pruned down expenses to an adjustment with their incomes. ‘They have injected into their farm management scheme many new in- come - producing enterprises without curtailment of their large cash crop activities. ‘They have mechanized their indi- | vidual efforts with advancing types of farm machinery. ‘They have made many important adjustments in both the kind and quality of produce marketed. They have made progress toward curtailment of ravages of both plant ‘and animal diseases which annually make heavy inroads into their net re- turns.
