West, says a farmer in Country
Gentleman, and don't agree with
the writer all. NV advice would
be to get them ont into the country
in their own state so farmers could
get the necessary help to run their
farms. Help is hard to get among
the farmers for the single reason
that young men leave the country
and 60 to the city. Not only young
men, but men of family do the
same. There are plenty Of farms
co let on shares. There are plenty
of farms to rent at low figures. some
with stock and tools. The State
of New York has plenty Of cheap
lands. know of half a dozen
large farms that are rented at from
twenty-fi Eve to thirty dollars q year
and taxes. Talk about govern
ment aid to send men West The
time for taking LII. Greeley's advice
has gone by for men without means.
Lands are high in the West and
cheap in the East and growing
cheaper. Better do something to
drive men ont into the country on
to cheap land near home. Establish
bureaus of in formation in cities
and others in country. There is
no trouble in getting places for all
that are willing to work hard, as
