FARMERS AND OTHERS
Sir,-Fancy anyone writing under ‘such a niom-de-plume as "Accountant" and doubting that the farmers are the base on which all other sections of the community rest. The farmer-the primary producer. Is that not sufficient evidence? Is "Accountant" so juvenile that he does not remember our last slump, when the price of primary produce fell, and the whole country came to earth with a thud? And as for the farmer’s return to a "Robinson Crusoe" existence, well, he has done it before, and would do it again. Indeed, he might have to for ‘a while if our sectional structure gets too top-heavy for its base, and crashes. How much more interesting and happy to exist a la Robinson * Crusoe than a la mistletoe.
