In one of his first public ap pearances in this area since his . return fromra three - months' stay in England as a guest of the Brit ish ministry of agriculture, Tom kins included stories of the black out and of the great cooperation ot the British people as indivi duals in his talk, concluding, with' m discussion of SriUsb, agriculture. The state grange head is sched uled to address-an open meeting t the Salem grange- -next Wed nesday night, January 8 at the Salem Woman's club-. - ' : When the war commenced, Eng land suddenly discovered she was producing, one meal, a day for her people; today she produces two, has ploughed up her playgrounds and huntsmen's parks, cleared the brambles from the pastures and adentificaUy. studies to produce the most food for human beings in the space .and with the equip ment available. Described by, Tomkins as "al most a horse show from one end of the country to the other", Eng land could not have built her cur rent scheme of agriculture with out American" farm machinery, he declared. England, too, has strikes, he said, but her every individual is concerned .with the war, ) Expressing his amazement at his own earlier lack of understand ing, Tomkins maintained that a future peace, if bunt upon under standing must be aided by agri culture as well as industry. "We must know the problems of the farmer in other lands ... Wo pro mised tho-- English agriculturists that we in this country would take the lead in calling an internation al conference of farm" organiza tions of the world," he declared. : In this country, the speaker said, country and city have . done a splendid Job of getting together, citing as an example the assist ance rendered by Salem folk . In recent harvests, but such a spirit must continue and must spread beyond national lines if the peace is to be as successful as the war.
