DKTUOIT. Mich., July 11. -0i--Tears
of fanners for relief are of
the crocodile variety, based nl'
on a desire for added luxuries than

"Karmitij; may produce no mil
lionaires," he said, "hut It has no
bread lines, no Hop houses, no
pitiable wretches living on chari
table niekles and dimes.
"Agriculture has been drearily
pictured n scene of murk and hope
lessness. As a matter of fact, the
modern farm today would be an ag
ricultural haven to -;randdad. Con
trast the hare drudncr of years
amo with the modern sort, lighted
and hrichtoned by power, machin
ery, radios, automobiles and other
things.
"Probably the next poneration
will bo hard up for airplanes."
The discontent of the farmers,
Johnson said. Is the ferment of prn
Kress workiuK In their minds. They
simply are out for Incomes lar-;e
enouKh to pay for the standard or
living they have tasted in towns
and cities since automobiles and
