Aid of Producer
(By The Associated Prei)
CH IC AGO, Dec. 7. President
Coolidge came Into tho Middle
West today with a message of en
couragement for the farmer.
Addressing the annual conven
tion of tho. American Farm Bureau
federation, he predicted that, In
spite of past and present adversi
ties, agriculture will lead Industry
in future prosperity. Assailing
legislative proposals savoring of
paternalism, he promised to ap
prove any agricultural relief plan
"devised in accordance with sound
economic principles."
"I propose," he added, "active
ly and energetically to assist the
farmers to promote their welfare
through co-operative marketing
principles."
Audience Packs Ballroom
Tonight the president was' on
his way back to Washington. To
morrow he expects to lay -before
congress his legislative regulations,
touching among other things,, the
agricultural problem which he dis-,
cussed today.
The president's audience, which
packed the ballroom of the Sher
man hotel and represented farm
ers of 40 states, listened atten
tively to the address which he
read with few gestures. A half
dozen times he was Interrupted by
applause, but his defense of the
tariff as an aid to -agriculture and
his arraignment of proposals that
the government- engage In the
marketing1 of farm products or in
price fixing direct -or indirect were
greeted with silence. At the con
clusion, however, the audience by
rising and applauding, pnowed its
appreciation, , of the Cct that-the
president had set out on a hurried
2000-mile trip, .which - took - him
away from K5- capital on-, the
opening;" day' of congress, to -lay
his views on agriculture before the
farmers of the country.
Mrs. Coolidge Goest
The president, Accompanied by
Mrs. Coolidge, was In Chicago
five hours. After his address ne
attended a luncheon given by farm
bureau officials while Mrs. Cool
idge was guest of honor at a simi
lar function tendered by their
wives. Crowds lining the streets
of the loop district gave the vis
itors an enthusiastic greeting as
they passed to and from ther hotel
In an automobile, with the top
down to provide a better view, de
spite the raw cold weather.
One of the passages of the pres
ident's speech which brought a
round of applause was a reference
to his life as a boy on the farm,
and his contention "that we can
not stop with the mere acquisition
of wealth.'
The ultimate result to oe de
sired." he continued, "is not the
making of money, but the making
of people. Industry, thrift and
self-control are not sougnt Decause
they create wealth, but because
Viey create character. They are
tno prime product oi me iarm.
We who have seen it and lived it.
we know."
The ores dent did not sneak at
the luncheon, the food for which
had been sent especially for tne
meal by co-operative marketing
organizations In various parts of

ELECTRICITY ON FARM
HELD OF SOCIAL VALUE
POWER WILL AIH LITTLE TO
AGItlCULTlKAL PROFIT
Use of Advertising For Benefit
of Rural District pointed
.' Out By Speaker ,
(Dy'Ths Auoclated Preu)
CHICAGO, Dec. 7. The greatest
service which electricity can ren
der to the farmer is social rather
than economic, Owen D. zoung,
member of the Dawes reparation
commission and chairman ot the
board of the General Electric com
pany, told the annual convention Of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration here tonight.
Ellectrlclty can not make a major
contribution directly to the profits
of the farm but can help them some
directly and aid more Indirectly,
Mr. Young said. lte greatest di
rect contribution la to Improve liv
ing conditions, and It is in tha
home rather than In the fields that
It serves greatest, he said-,- and
urged that the farmers encourage
great transmission systems because
they bring power to hint.
Group Action Gains
The idea of group action Is gain
ing ground. E. P. Taylor, director
of the organization of the feder ac
tion asserted.. Both the farm bu
reau and the co-operative market
ing association have their part to
play in solving the farmers' prob
lems and every farmer should be
long to each organization, he de
clared. Advertising, Wnich is working so
tremendously for Industry, Is do
ing about the same thing In a way
for agriculture, but agriculture Is a
small advertiser in comparison,
James Shaughnessy, executive sec
retary of the American Association
of Advertising Agencies, told the
convention.
'In the national field, he suggest
ed, agriculture spends about one
cent to every dollar spent by manu
facturing for advertisings, while .it
has been estimated the farmers
could use to advantage about a
quarter .of a billion dollars, worth
of advertising annually. ,
Possibilities Are Listed
Advertising might be expected to
accomplish for the farmer the fol
lowing objects, he said:
Bring in members as- wanted,
make the farmer understood In the
cities, break down resistance , to
farmers' demands of the govern
ment, .strengthen the fight i'or so
lution of the marketing . problem,
develon better transportation facil
ities, making dealing directly with
the city consumer, promote better
working conditions and better
knowledge of markets, bring more
step savers and more farm ma
chinery to the fields and the home
of the farmer.- make less drudgery.
and less work for both, the farmer
and hlg wife. '
