The Boy VINO Farms.

The time is past when people will
believe that the boy who farms is the
one Of all Others who needs no prepar-
alton for his life work than that
which he gains from the hard school
Of personal experience. In agriculture
as In other professions the boy may
profit by the cumulative experience OF
his race and this experience can best
be learned at the Agricultural col
lege. Commenting upon this, the
Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"ThIrty years ago scientific eduea-
tion in agriculture was shifted at by
farmers. They thought 1t as useless
and silly to go to school to learn farm
ing as for a girl to teach her
grandmother how to knet socks. All
one needed to learn about farm
ing was by practical application. The
theory was false and the result was
that the brightest young men left the
farm for business or the professions,
while the dullards, stayed at home aud
titled the soil. But new order Of
things has come about and the younger
men are seeing the advantage OF this
sort Of education. It requires as high
technical training to be a good far
mer as a good physician, and those
who know are winning the prizes.
Improved methods, the country tele-
phone and the free rural delivery have
made farm life much more attractive
than formerly. In fact, ii is becoming
the ambition of the young men to stay
on the farm and get bigger ones Of
their own. That is very laudable.
There is nothing the country needs
much more than improved agricul-
ture, as the time is coming when In
| tensive methods must be used to feed
| the population. The young man on
/ the farm who thinks he would like to
go to the city is probably making a
mistake"
This is sound advice. The boy who
lcontemplates entering college this fall
would do well to consider agriculture
carefully as bis life work. To the
Missouri farmer boy, the Missouri Col
Ilege Of Agriculture at Columbia offers
the best opportunities in the direction
Of training to profitably till the broad
land nroductfve acres OF our state. HerS
a boy viii get not only the best exper
ience Of Missouri farmers but the besl
Of farmers everywhere so far as thai
. experience is applicable to Missouri
soil and climate. This is cumulative
fund OF experience that one has nj
. business working out for himself ans
. the Missouri Agricultural College
the best agency to impart 1t to tn
young farmers Of our state.
