Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, in an ad- dress before the American Association of Advertising Agencles. He said he and his neighbors let their orchards run down, and were buying fruit nowadays becuuse it paid them better to spend all their time in the flelds inatead of devoting some of it to sp ng trees, He had not had a churn in his home for fifteen years, Mr. Howard sald, al- thouglt "he owned many cows. He sells his milk to a creamery and buys butter for his table, because of in- abjlity to get helpers. “So you see, we are farmers,” he sald. “Life on the farm and life in the city are bound together in a chain which cannot be unlinked. ‘We must rise or fall together. in a business way, the bottom has been reached by the farmer. He is looking He cannot look anywhere else, because be is on his bac things are getting better, long road ahead, along which Ame ican agriculture will need your help.” FEWER DEATHS FROM FLU.
