COLLEGE BRED MEN AND THE
FARM

In the past there has been very little
In common between the college educa-
ton and the farm. In fact it may be
said that to give a boy n college educa-
tion was to absolutely divorce him
from all interest in farm life and farm
work. So for years the colleges have
been busy turning out doctors, law
yerS, parsons, teachers and the like
until the ranks of all these professions
are full to overlooking. Thousands of
young men are each year finding out
that it is far easier to acquire a cole
giate equipment for these professions
than 1t is TO find place in this old
world where they may uSetheir knowl-
edge in a practical way. We wish TO
say that there is absolutely nothing in
harmonious between knowledge and
agriculture. On the contrary, no bust
ness or profession today offers more
inducements 10 the rightly educated
young man than this of agriculture
Science is doing fully rs much for the
farm as it is for the factory, mine or
laboratory. The financial rewards
which follow science ana intelligence
rs applied to agriculture are as sub
stantal a those iii amy other line. A
young friend Of ours who has just
finished full classical course at one Of
our best colleges ana who has been
casting about for the choice of a pro-
fesSiou told us that after looking the
field over thoroughly lie had made up
his mind to supplement- his classical
course with an agricultural course Of
study and then operate 800 acre
stock farm upon modern principles.
Infinitely wiser is this course than
wearing the best years of his life away
To get a standing and a rcnumerative
practice as some lawyer or physician.
He said, 81 am going TO learn how to
raise good stock that will sell for big
price" VIII lie succeed: OF course he
will, and there are hundreds of young
men who would do we'll TO follow his
example.
