from the farm than ever leave it volun-

boy an acre of land and let him have

DAY OF
BIG THINGS,
This is the Age Of Large
Undertakings.
The LOCAL PRODUCERS
Hold the Key the the Great
Riches of Corporations

This Is an age of large things-large
conceptions, large ambitions. Business
promoters talk gibly of deals involv-
ing ten figures. We have our million
aires and our multimillionaires. who
die but to leave their immense riches
to be squandered by their children,
who often have not the slightest con-
ception of dollars true value. 1t
was the apt thought of some historian
who wrote upon the settlement OF
America that the colouists who really
settled this country came from the mid
die class. neither the froth nor the
dregs. but the real stuff that lies be-
tween. And so today 1t Is to this same
middle class that the country must
look to furnish the men of the nation
the clean citizens. The effete sons of the
rich are cursed with the birthright of
immense gold, the spending of which
kills all ambition for being and doing.
In the end 1t Is the rural communities
from which the world must draw it's
stamina. AS the mighty corporations
depend upon the local producers for the
material with which they feed the cit
les, so the nation draws each year up
on the country for its quota of real
men.

THE COUNTRY HOME.

Did you ever stop to think that the
prospect of visit to the country home
Is usually hailed with delight by both
young and old alike? The spirit of hos.
pitality. comfort and plenty which per-
vades the whole atmosphere Of the
farm home is delightful in the ex-
treme, especially to those who come
from city homes where economy Is
practiced on every corner and the
good things so appetlzlng in the farm
home mean a good substantial tug Mt
the pocketbook when purchased in the
city. The hostess in the country home
cultivates and enjoys her friends. She
can afford TO be hospitable with re-
sources at her command which meet
the demand Of every occasion. She
makes her guests feel at home and
happy, while they in turn respond to
the freedom and lack of formallty with
great eagerness.

Attempt to Solve the I'm
migration Problem
TRIED FRUIT FARMING
In the South, But Soon Re
turned to the City.

In an attempt TO solve some of the
difficulties incident TO the immigration
problem the experiment was tried of
colonizing some of the Italian element
In certain districts of the south and
getting them started in the business Of
fruit farming, the originator of the
plan doubtless thinking that IL their
love of the fruit business, as evinced In
their zeal for the push cart fruit ven
der vocation. could only be turned In
the direction of production, instead of
vending, great good might result both
to the cities from which these for
eigners were drawn and to the waste
districts of the south which their efforts
would turn to some use. The expert
ment didn't work. for the sons of sun
ny Italy suffered from nostalgia to
such an extent that they hled them
selves back to the squalid tenements
and smoky, noisy confines of the city,
where their constantly increasing num-
ber is becoming serious problem.

The time is not far distant when the
new lands. irrigated or otherwise, will
be all taken up. and instead of going
west the farmer will have TO turn his
attention to more economical method
of farming the land he has. This will
mean that the roadsides will grow hay
instead OF weeds. that straw and hay
will be more carefully stacked, that
machinery will he put under some

not a little grief to many of those who
have made the experiment. This trou-
