It is within this area of our popula tion and land that there lies a very great potential for future development through not only better farming methods, but through industrial growth and local food processing activities. It is also an interesting fact that in those counties where both farming and industry are most successful, the people subscribe to the "legal control" system of the sale of beer and ale because it has proven to be in the best interests of enlightened and law-abiding communities.
