Days spent on the farm are always
considered the happiest days of ones
life. Boys and girls on the farm
should he taught the real value Of
farm life; the occupation of people is
not what determins their worth; often
we allow our children to think while
in school that the farm Is not the
proper place for people who have an
education, and as soon as their school
days are finished they drift to town,
taking places rs cheap clerks, stenog-
raphers, etc, leaving broad acres of
ground TO be cultivated by ignorant
hands. There is no business so indie
pendent and profitable as farming, and
children should be taught this. The
farm needs educated men the same as
other occupations; too many of our
young people are drifting to over
crowded towns. Let the farm work
he brought up to its true standard.
