The only other persons whose wei.
fare Is as vital to the welfare Of the
whole country as Is the welfare Of the
wageworkers are the tlllers of the soil,
the farmers. II Is a mere truism to
say that no growth Of cities, no growth
of wealth, no industrial development
can atone for any falling on In the
character and standing OF the farming
population. During the last few dec
AIDES this fact has been recognized
with ever increasing clearness. There
Is no longer any failure to realize that
farming. at least In certain branches,
must become a technical and scientific
profession. This means that there
must be open 10 farmers the chance
for technical and scientific training, not
theoretical merely. but Of the most Sc
verely practical type. The farmer rep
resents peculiarly high type OF Amer
lean citizenship, and he must have the

other American citizens have. More
