COLLEGE MEN FOR THE FARM.
Result Of >.a>es In Economic and
social Conditions.

The character of farming il chang.
ing rapidly. 1t is coming more and
more to be an eficient. profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there an exception. in the past we
thought to the Understanding like
as much as the merchant gives to his
business or the doctor to hts. 1t has
been 30 easy" a business that un-
trained men could succeed In 1t. The
change in economic and social condi-
lions 10 breaking up. the tradition.
Farming Ia becoming more di6icult,
and the old methods must go. In the
future only the well-informed and EN-
cient-thinking man can succeed; that
is. only the educated man.
The country is to offer other advan-
tages to the educated man than mere
ly to be good farmer. There are
good opportunities for leadership on
public questions-probably better OPP
portunity and with less competition
than In the great cities. The fact that
city representation is increasing In the
Legislatures should make the able
country representative; more of a
marked man. The growth of the insti-
tute movement. OF the grange and 9TH
er rural organizations, gives fresh OPP
portunity to develop leadership Of a
high order.
1t would seem that. by the nature
OF the progress we are making, the
college man must go to the farm. In
fact, college men have been going
back from the beginning OF the agri-
cultural education movement. Statis-
tics show that large percentage
actually have returned to farming,
and this In spite Of the fact that
cities have been growing with marvel
GUS raptdity, and that the whole sys-
tenn of agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations has been developing
and calling for men. Considering the
limitations under which the agrIcul-
tural colleges have developed, without
, sympathy, with the Indifference and
sometimes the opposition of educators
the men who should have known
better-with wholly inadequate funds.
it Is little less than marvellous what
they have accomplished within gen.
Grafton. 1t is probable that the pro-
portion of students of the leading ag-
(, ricultural colleges, who now engage in
1 agricultural pursuits. is greater than
students OF that of colleges of law or
Of other professional colleges who fol.
low their chosen profession. No one

The announcements came as a. complete

Similar action was taken NO or three
