~The trouble with city folk, especial-

East, is that they get their impressions

from European sources. Because the

Nothing could be farther from the
truth. - No individual or class of our|
people has been more prompt to apply |
new methods of science, new inven-!
than the American farmer. The impli-|
cation when he is referred to as a
“Rube” is that he is a stupid, unpro-|
