SPECALEED G0 | IREETY HARBORD ‘Uates of Kansas College, His Alma Mater, By the Associated Press. MANHATTAN, Kans., May 28.—Far from the noisy fields of Soissons and Chateau Thierry, where he directed troops to international fame, a distin- Suished soldier today directed the at- tention of a graduating class to quiet flelds of growing grain. | Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, retiirn~ ing as a Commencement day speaker to | the Kansas State College he knew as| & student half a century ago, suggested, in a preparsd speech, that specializa- | tion was the possible solution of agri- culture's problems. The speaker, who learned for him- gelf the travail -of the tiller as & boy in Ccunty; a student here, a rural teacher in Butler County, inquired why one farm should not produce all the milk for a township, another the meat, apother the hay, another the wheat. Efforts at Solution. lelenebe. hcl said, &as “zmm":fl le'fly agency busy in an’ attemp ssolve the dimeuities of agriculture, “To jus from the laments that from the national wailing wall on Capitol Hill, many professional mourn- ers have applied themselves to a .solu- tion of the farmer's stalemate.” Almost overnight, Gen. Harbord de- clared “something has happened to the | American farmer to Tob him cf that in- dependence cnd _self-sufficiency that | were once his pride. He has come to a cross-road where one sign says ‘Po'ities’ | ang the ather says ‘Eeonomics.’ Which way does his destiny lie? It is the network of highways, tele- phone and the radio that has ended his self-sufficiency. Should he not now get far in the other direttion as almost complete specialization?” Waste of Farm Effort. Gen. Harbord, chief of staff under Gen. John J." Pershing in the World War and now chairman of the Board of the Radio Corporation of America, coucluded that much cf the farmer's time is “frittered away in raising things that cost him two or tnree times what they are worth” and that “the best | farm compared to the poorest manufactu: plant might managed rtng not have the betier of the comparison.” Comm ture in general, A cornerstone of cultivated in the mists of geologic time. 1t was a great day for Kansas when he climbed down out of his tree and started his wife to work.” WOMAN PHILANTHROPIST FACES MURDER CHARGE | By the Associated Press.
