Need of Fair Public Opinion.
Sound public opinion can help both
the farmer and the railroads in the
important work of the farmer and the
railroad It is important that fairness
and consideration be shown to both;
to the farmer that he may have every
encouragement and the assistance of
the best agricultural educatibn, scien-
tific research and extensive work so
as to produce a larger food supply;
and to a railroad, that it may help
the :fsfiyl prosperity by being able
to V dc sufficient transportation ,
when it is needed.
