We raise tot.

products, too much fruit, too many
vegetables, too much everything. We
have "over production" and a great
"surplus" must be marketed abroad,
and the Inexorable rule of supply and
demand fixes the low price of all
agricultural products and puts the
farmer In his present plight.
Ho we should "deverslfy," the
learned economists and editors tell

We should change about and
raise more of what we do not raise,
