ED. WEST WRITES
ABoUTTHE FARMS AND FARMERS
OF THE EAST.
How the Country was Settled and how it
has Growm.-The idea that Farming is
on the Decline is not True.-What DIR.
Hills Says.

New London, Conn.,, August 12, 1899.
Editor Enterprise: Mrs. West and
myself have recently returned from a
drive into the country to see how the
farmers are getting along in this part
OF the world. 1t has often been said
by people in the west that the land in
Connecticut and Massachusetts, as
well as other eastern states, is so poor
that it would not raise white beams.
There is little truth in this remark,
and l think you will find it to be true
in some parts of the west. The COM
mon notion that the agriculture of
New England is on the decline is not
altogether true in my judgement. AS
you drive around among the farmers
you will find many clean, well titled
fields, snug barns and good sheds, am
pie and coy houses and to all appear
ances happy people.
Their houses in most cases have been
paid for from the land. The old houses
have been used as long as they were
fit to live in, and in many places new
ones have been built, with nice look
ing porches and large panes of glass
are often substituted for six by EIGHT
lights.
You must remember that the early
settlers Of these New England States
we're obliged to settle here, for they
hadn't the means to 60 elsewhere to
locate and they were obliged to put
this land under the plow at an early
day and it is wonder to me how they
have succeeded as we'll as they have
among the rocks and hills OF this coun-
try. One thing is true Of them, they
look out in time for winter, their corn
is husked in good season. The pota-
toes are in the cellar and they have
plenty Of pumkins under the shed.
The loose boards are all nailed on, the
farm implements are under cover, the
sheep and cattle are well bedded on the
sunny side Of the barn or shed.
tits quite often the case that New
England farmers and merchants hold
mortgages on western land. Their
difficulties have made them Industrious
and careful, and which would be a
great help to many farmer in the
west.
A little more than two years ago
Mrs. West and myself spent some time
in the town Of Ludlow, near Spring
field, where lived until boy about
10 years Of age and then went to Ohio
with my fathers family, so you can
see that ! am somewhat acquainted
with this part Of the country, and what
/ have said about the farms OF Con-
neticut will hold true Of the farms In

said, milk at six cents per quart.
Well, said l, you must have a good

The question is sometimes discussed
by city and village people about farm
ers moving into town. o yes, they
say, we would like to have them come,
If they are not out Of the woods yet
now let me say to such ones, go slow
and let us see what statistics show
about farmers. Why is it that our
leaders and most successful business
men in the cities, usually come from
the farm? 1t is probable the habits of
industry, endurance and economy,
necessary on the farm insures success
in the city.
DR.. Hills says recent canvas of
our large eastern cities showed that
ninety-four per cent of its leading
citizens were brought up on farm.
An examination of one hundred rep
resentative men of Chicago showed
that S5 per cent were raised in the
country, and this is not all seventeen
of our twenty-three presidents came
from the farm. In closing this letter
| want to say to the farmers of the
east and of the west, let US press for
ward in well doing. The spirit of the
times has changed very much in the
last year. Money is more plenty and
at lower rates of interest than it was.
Land is slowly but surely advancing
in price and the spirit of complaining
is giving way to confidence and content
1t is wonderful how suddenly prosper
ity disappeared after Cleveland's last
election and how soon it reappeared
when the republican administration
came into power rgain.
] Imust close this letter for | fear
that it is already to long.
Very truly yours,

SynOpsls.

The Summer Normal in connection
with the Elyria Business college closes
this week. 1t was ten weeks course,
devoted to reviewing the common
branches. Twenty-one were enrolled
at the opening of the term, June 10.
During the first half OF the term twelve
more had enrolled, making the whole
number thirty-three. This is twice
what we had expected. The large
growth during the first part, we think,
is the best evidence of thoroughness.
Some of the brightest and best teach
ers of the county are among the num-
ber.
Mr.. W. E. Crandall, principal of the
Brownhelm High School; Mr.. H, M.
Ebert, principal of the Elyria High
School, and Messrs. j. L. Flicker, L.
G, Brandt and G. A. Parker of the bus
iness college were the instructors.
The topical or outline method was
used. A series of Friday afternoon
lectures were given upon various sub
jects of interest to the teachers.
The proprietors are so well pleased
with the success Of the present term
that arrangements have been begun
for next years class. Messrs Crandall
and Ebert have been engaged. An
important feature of the next term
will be teachers training class. Mr..
Ebert will conduct this. His talks
during the present term on school gov
ernment were highly appreciated and
will be recalled with much pleasure by
those who heard them. A few of the
higher studies will also be introduced.
Judging from the inquiries already
made, next years class will be more
than twice as large as this years class.
