Farmers and city people alike should keep in npind that they each have many vlose relatives in the broad X5ndlng , family of agriculture. the number It is true working on farms is about 8 million, which is a decrease of about 2.5 million during the past 40 years. However, according to Dr. Carl Frischkecht, director of Utah State University Extension Service, agriculture today actually provides more jobs and careers in the city than on the farm. In facL nearly 40 percent of the total working population in the United States is engaged in activities related to agriculture. Todays agriculture, Dr. Frischkecht, says, is- a science, a business, a profession, and an industry, Including at least 500 distinct occupations. Besides those working directly on the farm another 5 million are working to provide the essential raw materials, machines, equipment, and other goods and services necessary in modern agriculture. Still another 9 million are engaged in handling, processing, and bringing the products of our farms to the home in a form that can be used. 21 The big drive for membership the Kanab Chamber of Com Carmel news merce starts this week for the 1959 Calendar year following Idr. and Mrs. Birt Gardner the recent general membership will attend a Postmasters Con- meeting and the directors meetvention this evening (Wed.)
