BABSON ,X SALE NOTICE Park, Mass., Nov. 2. — A number of statements have recently been mad* by Mr. Babson on the agri cultural conditions in certain sections of the Vobtitry. He has been asked dfMcJT ^actions of the country and which agricultural lines give ^he most promisfr to the fanner and livestock raiser ‘"•As his answer is of general to business men as well as farmers, we give his reply as follows: £ _ Fanning a Business p “The farm continues to be the prin- ple subject of discussion in the Pull- nan smokers. There are those who elieve that farming is a business and. ke any other business, is subject to undamental economic laws. They be- ieve s that the only law worth while the law of supply and demand and hat'all other laws are useless and quires the most efficient equipment and management. Opportunities In Farming “If I were to become a farmer to day, dairying and poultry raising would appeal to me hte most. My study shows that dairying is one of the best paying lines and one which has openings in all parts of the country." There are also excellent op portunities for the raising of poultry lb most section*. With many crops the turn-over is but once a year with the money coming in shortly after harvest time, while dairying and poul* try raising hhve the advantage of pro* due ng a steady income throughout all .he year. ~ “Of source . many other lines of agC ric-uhirre have advantages. Many s< hould be wiped off the stat’ite bookB. ti ns of the country are adapted ’hen there are those who believe that tlx* growing of fruit and modern met! he farmer is the basis <»f all prod-^ oils'of packing add transportation giv rity and should be subsidize^ and a country-wide market.

At any rate, only a small jfoccentage of Agricultu ral workers are losing money today. The information that I have, cleat^y shows that out, of seventy-eight local ities, sixty-three register fanning as profitable, both to the man who tills the soil and the man who raises live stock; four localities limit their prof its to the livestock raiser, and only eleven localities indicate that their farmers are not making money. The majority of these latter are behind largely because of poor weather con ditions. “Two facts, however, stand out strongly: (l) The greatest prosperity has come where the farmers are or ganized to market their own produce, and (2) where the farmers are adopt ing progressive methods and labor saving machinery. Big business has learned the value and necessity of co operation. It is also prospering through the use of labor-saving ma chinery*^ Milhous of dollars could b« saved by the fanners of the cotton .. a fair chance of making profit on MtAf Mid?**** ***+++*■** +** * - *• . r -.Lata; Fall Ver^.

In the case of cotton such associations can act with the farmer to improve the grades; can market for the most advantageous price; and when there is an extra large crop of cotton an increased demand can easily be stimulated through advertising so that people will use more cotton and replenish their cotton stocks. The de mand for fruits, nuts, vegetables, and dairy products could thus be stimu lated eVen more than at present. The demand for wheat, on the other hand, cannot be easily stimulated as people will eat only so much bread and, as they become more prosperous, tend to cut down rather than increase their per capita of wheat. “As I have stated many times be fore, most farmers use too much man- labor and not enough work-stock and labor-saving equipment.
