thing they think offs to rush TO the
cities. where, 10 the minds Of many
OF them, money IS plentiful aud a
gay life awaits them. This reduces
the force on the farms and in itself
prevents young men from the over
crowded cities seeking homes in the
country. 1t is hardly 10 be expected
that men from the cities will take
kindly TO farm life when young men
who have been reared as farmers
rush OF TO the cities. The remedy
lies with Us. Let us make our home
lie desirable to our young men.
Encourage them in their work and
offer them every inducement possible
The labor Of a son is far more
profitable to the sire than the labor
Of inexperienced men from a city.
And our young men have a better
opportunity Of making a name by re-
naming at home and using industry
and thrift than they have in rushing
on 70 the city and becoming a non
entity in a place where there are ten
men for every opening. The farm
is the best place after all.
