German shells did the plowing and German j Doison gas fertilized the soil. The ^ jreat need of France today is labor saving devices which can be wielded )y the old men and boys, who are ;he only farmers left. This was the report brought back from France by Hujh Fullerton, of ;he Long Island Agricultural Ex- , seriment Station, on behalf of the v American Committee for Devastats id France, of which Miss Anne, Morgan is the head. Mr. Fullerton r liscussed the needs of France at a o neeting yesterday afternoon at the * -* na of" ^ I6<lUl}U(tXlCia Ui U1C IllilliVb^V) t?v ^ 1 West Fortieth Street. ;, "The French agriculturalists be_ . ieved that the devastated areas' vould never again be productive," tie said. "I went over two months ago convinced that this was not! true, because I had experienced in j tearing up Long Island soil with dynamite and had found the subsoil fertile. It is an old axiom of ! agriculture that the subsoil cannot be productive and the French gov-' ernment, acting on this premise had , condemned large portions of what j used to be the most productive area I Il . ===== lit is the man with the big things in 1 that sweeps all b< BackTof^ his ^ hea /physical organs,"!
