delightful social events of the summer

The n. T. G. M. succeeded in arous-

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-09-11

| am an enthusiast on the farm ques-
ton, that is true. But believe | do
take fair view of the matter, after all.
[ am not SO prejudiced in favor of the
farm that | cannot see anything but
sunshine about it. There are hard
things about the farm. Any practical
farmer can tell you that Many times
it seems as if the farmers have to do
great deal Of work, and hard work,
too, for which they get no adequate
return. l know that many farmers
break themselves down with hard work.
They are the ones that try to do too
much in year, instead of remember
ing that there are more years to come.
Men may be decidedly Incorporate in
work. | know, too, that there are not
many farmers that accumulate very
great fortunes. If they do, they must
have some side line that brings in
more money than legitimate farming
can do.
But while I know all this, | know
also that there is on every well-regulat-
ed farm a degree of peace and COM
tort that Outweighs any money con-
slderatlOn, with men who really want
to live and make the most of life
for themselves and for their boys and
girls.
And there is money enough on the
farm. What do we want of more than
enough to make us comfortable? If
We give our families a good home,
educate our children properly, hold
good place in the community and do
our part as best We can, what differ
ence does it make if we do not leave
a fortune? Fortunes are only the ring
OF coin. Better have the ring in the
heart than in thepocketbook.
But not every young man could
win on the farm" do you say? All
right. Neither can all young men
make success of it in the store or
elsewhere. 1t is great thing to find
ones place and fill it. I do not saw
that every man should be a farmer.
But where one feels in his heart of
hearts that the farm is the best place
tor him, then it is his duty to get
there Not to do so is only to sacri-
fee self for dollars. Good warm blood
in the veins will drive a man to do
some one thing and to love it above
everything else When he sits down
quietly and counts the pulse beats of
that blood coursing through his veins,
and finds out what the, lmpel him to
do, there is nothing he can do but to
obey, no matter in what direction the
call leads. If to the farm, we'll and
good. If to the bench or the bar,
that; too, is all right. But far be it
from me to say that man makes
mistake when he hears the call back to
the farm, even if it leads him to lay
down profession that brings in
thousands every year. We have only
one life to live, and it stands us in hand
to make the most of it that we possibly
can.
