SHAKOPEE, Minn. -- Surrounded by hay bales and grain bins, President
Clinton on Friday tried to fertilize American farmers' enthusiasm for more trade
with China, hoping that will produce more votes in Congress.
''There's no way Chinese farmers can keep pace with the growth of their own
consumers - but America's farmers can,'' Clinton told several hundred farmers
gathered at a Minnesota grain farm. ''And Congress can give you the chance to
do so, but only if it votes for permanent normal trade relations.''
Most farmers seem to agree. While granting permanent trade status for China has
been controversial in many quarters, including Congress, it is broadly popular in
farm country. One- third of America's agricultural products are already exported.

Wonder if the farmers are eating it up or useing it on the fields?Fertilize enthusiasm?
What a novel idea!

We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world;
and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men
every day who don't know anything and can't read.
