Farmers Who Retire.

prosperous and more of them than
ever are thinking of retiring to town
to take it easy. The advice extended
to them by those who is-Don't.
If you care to enjoy life much
longer, don't move to town, and don't
try to, take it easy in the commonly
accepted meaning of the term.
Golfers tells a story of an illus
'tration handed out by the editor of
an lowe paper to farmer friend
who was preparing to move to town
to live in idleness. The editor called
attention to the principal street in
the town: Tweny-seven houses on
that street, or more than one-half
of the whole number were occupied
by the widows of retired farmers.
The husbands had lived only an av-
erage of three years after quitting
the farm. The wives had kept on
working and We're still living.
The lesson of that street applies
to men of all occupations who have
led active lives They simply can't
quit altogether and remain on earth.
Business men in the cities have tried
it by thousands and they have all
ways failed. Invariably it is case
OF work or die.
This is no argument against the
enjoyment of more leisure by the
man who has earned competence.
1t is an argument against the pro
posal to quit altogether and loaf
around town. III.
The hard worker who. has reached
middle life or past it will, be the bet
ter If he turns over the strenuous
part of his duties to some one young
er than himself, but the farmer will
probably never live anywhere else
SO comfortably as he will upon the
old farm. Let him build good home
for himself and the good wife on the
farm. Then let them both take a
little time each year to travel about
and see something of the world. In
that way they will not only stand a
better chance of a long life, but they
will enjoy it:
Y The chances are that the old farm
still needs the supervision of the
man who built it up, even though he
may notgplow or hstrow, and he will
take pleasure in doing the light work
that this entails.
While the old experienced farm
ers are retiring by thousands to the
towns and turning over their farms
to strangers or young relatives, the
country is apreparirg to import corn
from Africa, the ss2ply of potatoes
is nowhere equal to the demand,
and James As. Patten was able to cor
ner: the wheat market because Of
the prospect that the world will
face the greatest shortage Of that
crop IT has ever known. In fact men
who should be good prophets say
that farm products will not again be
cheap during the re of the present
generation, because the population
I is increasing much more rapidly than
the food supply v. 81 +. ".
