Every proposition must have a basis Tor

1t is, therefore, absurd to entertain the
idea that our books and papers are the
product of a creative or imaginary mind.
Such opinions have prevailed, however,
and when we consider the efforts made to

feeling could have been reasonably hoped
for. Knowing this we extended an open
invitation to all sections TO visit Us; in

There Is an absence of either extreme in
our climate, outdoor work can be carried

with the fact that there Is an abund-

Our individual and combined efforts are

Talks With Farmers.
Continued from First Page.)

Northern farm. But there is something
to be considered besides the mere money
price of labor. Would not the labor of q
young son who loves the farm be worth
4 great deal more to the father than the
Iow-priced negro who can only be depend
ed upon when the farmers eye Is on him?
The idea is common among farmers that
the son should not expect the father to
pay him full wages. 1t may be that our
correspondent is an only son. In that
case he could afford to work at home for
less than elsewhere, for he will be help
ing to improve what will be his eventual
ly, and the building up of a home is worth
of itself a great deal to the future of
the son. But there is another point. In
a few years our young friend will find a
young woman with whom he would like
to make a life partnership. He will have
far more social advantages in working at
home than as a hired man for some one
else. Then if he vigorously aids his faith
err in the building up of that 100 acres to
its highest state of productivenesS, by the
time he wants to take a wife the father
may be able to buy land nearby for him
without going in debt, and he will have
aided in this result. Hence it may pay
him to labor on the home farm even fo1
lower wages than he could get in working
for others. But, on the other hand, land
is cheap in the South, and wages for
farm hands that are efficient and faithful.
are high in the North, and our young
friend might hire his labor to a progress
sive farmer in Ohio and be learning more
and more while saving all that he can,
so that IN a few years he may be able
to buy the land alongside his father for
himself without going in debt, and then
both can work for each other and make
homes alongside. Where a young man
has studied farming in a scientific way.
and has a real love for the farm, we are
OF the opinion that the best thing he
can do is to stick by his father and aid
in the development of the home farm.
Home is worth more than mere wages,
and, as we have SAID, the young man at
home will be helping to develop property
that will be his eventually and will not
be merely aiding in the improvement OF
some one elSe's land. One hundred acres
of land that is probably run down is
enough to occupy father and son both, it
would seem to us, until it has produced
enough to warrant the purchase of other
acres. The young man who sticks by
home may not get, for the time being, as
large wages as he might get elsewhere
but he will be working for father and
mother and home, and there are some
things in this life that cannot be meas
ured in dollars and cents. Our advice tC
every young man on the farm, who love:
farming and wants to be a farmer, is tc
stick to the home roof and help make {
farm for himself like our friend Rober
did with Mr.. Terry, and then build his
own roof tree alongside the home farm
If the father is the man he should be thi.
will be better for both.
