JOHNSTON TALKS ON VALUE OF FARMS Congressman Lonergan Unable fo + Attend Rural Association Mecling. S ADORESS READ BY PRESIDENT Many Delegates Attend Gathering of .’ Hartford County Rural Improvement Association Heid in 'Hartford To- day—Good Addresses Are Delivered. Before a large gatherln‘i. made up ofamen from all over Hartford county, with: those living in the rural districts | meore in‘evidence, several of the state and nation's most prominent men ad- rdressed the Hartford County Rural Improvement association at Unity hall in Hartford today. -Among those who made timely talks on subjects of interest to the country, and city man as well, were F. H. Johnston of this city, president of the State Business Men's association, Congressman A. F. Lever, Colonel Charles M. Jarvis of Berlin, J. A. Clinton, J. W. Alsop, L. G. Dodge, Governor Baldwin, A. J. Bchererle, Mayor Lawler of Hartford and Professor C. D. Jarvis of the state agricultural station. Congress- man Lonergan was expected, but im- portant -legislative business at Wash- ington kept him from attending. How- ever, his address was read by Presi- dent Stadtmueller, of the associa- tion. President F. H. Johnston. The meeting opened at 11 o’clock this morning and the final® speaker | of the forenoon session was Presi- i dent F. H. Johnston. He delivered a strong address from the view point of the business men, speaking in part as follows: “Farmers’ sons who have an ambl- tion to conduct farms on progressive | lines ought to have the earnest sup- | port of their parents, not only be- cause of modern methods but be- cause they will be more likely to hold the interest of studious and energétic | boys. In common with thousands of others I am strongly impressed with the: belief that the subject of better farming in America is the most im- of ‘the commercial world. By better farming is meamt a system that will produce larger results in the way of profits and an easier living for those who till tHe soil, as well as a greater average production to the ‘acre, “I appreciate the courtesy of your invitation to be present at this meet- ing and thank you for this oppor- I am very glad to accept the oppor- tunity to bring before you in a few words the work of the State associa- tion apd the necessity of the co- operation of the men interested in agriculture in order that our associa- tion may accomplish definite good in this work. We advocate the closer study of our state-wide problems and the bringing about of a higher stapdard of business ideas. T want you to think of the State Business Men’s association as a body of men working for the upbuilding of this commonwealth, earncstly studying the many local and the many broader perplexities brought about by the { portapt. . now occupying ‘the attention | tunity of getting acquainted with vou. | | radical changes in not only ways of i doing business but in our population and in its increasing desire to con- gregate in the cities, with the con- ! sequent lessening- production in the necessities of life. As a body of men whose interests are causing them to co-operate because of these rapidly changing conditions and whose mem- bership has changed from that of the retail merchant of fourteen years ago when the State assoclation was first |¥crmed, to its present membership: of nearly fourteen thousand men—em- | bracing merchant, manufacturer, | farmer, professional men and last, but not least, many lahoring men. “The several Business Men’s associa- tions in Norwich, New London and Willimantic have already taken up the county improvement movement in New London county and have aroused much enthuslasm and are doing good. work. We have eleven Business Men’s associations in Hartford county —Hartford, Néw Britain, Manchester, Glastonbury, Plainville, Southington, Bloomfleld, Winsocket, Enfield, Wind- sor, West Hartford, all fine hustling associations, and we stand ready to assist yvou in every way possible—as every farmer is of necessity to a business man and needs our help as we in the business world need his. T hope you will seriously consider the problems of our great transporta- tion system at the present time and realize that every kind of business is largely dependent upon the trans- portation facilities furnished to it and that our development is in direct proportion to the efficiency of our transportation service. Efficiency and time is the thing—the cost of the service is really a much smaller con- sideration. If the railroads give us efficient service they must receive reasonable remuneration—and it is vastly more important that the farmer and the business man get prompt and good service than it is to have cheap rates and, ifgfclent service. “It oughg te, be the ‘ajm of every WHY WAIT Until you save the cash to buy your Clothes with, when for ONLY $1.00 A WEEK| you .can have what your heart desires.

Teach them to plan work for themselves and to love the country. “This last brings up the problem that is all the time tugging at the heart of the farmer of this country, There are many neighbors in which not one in ten of the male members can be called:a young man. Even with the drift toward the country, of which we hear so' much today, it is the drift men. well along in years. The boys d young men are not re- sponding as they might to this call of back to Rature.” Lonergan’s Address Heard. Congressman Lonérgan’s address was one which dealt with the pro- ducer and the consumer. It told of the benefits to be derived from a co-operation between the city and | the country. It enlarged upon the i need of good roads, mentioned various improved methods of transportation and advocated a farmers’ rural-credit. Herewith is' given an abstract from the Connecticut congressman’s ad- {'dress as read: Distributing Farm Products. There are so many phases of ag- riculture which merit serious con- sideration that it is difficult to de- cide which is of first importance. At the present time our national gov- ernment, through its department of agriculture, is making a special study of the distribution of farm products, or of marketing. At the present time, while our far- mers in Hartford county are busy solv- ! ing the question of marketing, to- | Bether with other intricate agricul- tural problems, there is a governmen- tal office in Washington, the office of ! markets, which is devoting its ener- | gles to acquiring and diffusing among ! the people of the United States use- | ful information on subjects connect- ed with the marketing and distribu- tion of farm products. ‘When -and Where. At the present. time, many of our consumers do not know from where. the products come, and likewise, many producers do not know where their product goes. But there are those who have this information and are utilizing it to their distinct advantage, which is good business. | Transportation Difficulties. Transportation is one of the great elements in the cost of getting things from the producer to the consumer, Investigation of this subject so far asn it relates to farm products is advis. able. The manufacturers are well equipped in that respect. Practically every manufacturing city of any ‘size has its chamber of commerce or as- sociation of commerce or board of trade, with (its trafic bureau, to which the manufacturer goes regular- ly when he needs any advice on trans- portation. The farmer is wholly without this service. The farmer can not learn definitely how to do any of the things that relate to transporta- tion. Systematic Work, Those who have given much study to the subject of marketing find that investigation can be pursued to best advantage by reorganizing flve impor- tant sub-divisions: First.—Marketing surveys, meth- ods and costs, including especfally available market supplies in given production areas, demand at consum- ing centers, cold and other storages, marketing systems and prices, and costs of wholesale and retail distribu tion of farm products. Second.—Transportation and stor: age problems, having In mind the elimination of waste and the study of (Continued on Fourteenth Page.) 1914. -RIKER-HEGEMAN STORE = 2 F of those who and freshness.
