Joseph II. Wing, one of the best
agricultural writer's in the world, In
an address atthe Oregon Agricultural
College recently, said: Il am proud
OF several things that / can do: / can
pack a mule | can cut a tree 80 It will
fall where want II to-mostly. I can
hew a plank straight; / can strike a
drill all day without striking the other
fellow; / can rig pillow 80 you can
holdlt with the thumb and first flnger;
/ can walk five miles an hour; aud
some other things | can do / am proud
OF. / am prouder Of the things / have
done than the things l have said. 1t
takes more brains to rig plow right
than to do problem In Algebra.
When you learn thing, you want to
do 1t, and the man who gets the most
out OF life uses his arm as we'll as his
BRAIN" IfMr. Wings philosophy Is
right, and 1t undoubtedly Is, then IL Is
possible for the farmer to get more out
OF life than any other class, for brains
and muscle are necessary part OF
the equipment OF every good farm,
and there Is abundant opportunity
there for the employment OF both.
