 in the city more opportunities for commercial and financial enter prises, better social advantages, more opportunities for meeting people financially, socially and politically prominent, and more opportunities for making mark in the world.
 The desire of the farm boy to enter the commercial life of the city is, in d vast majority of cases, first instilled in him by his parents. With a natural pride they over- estimate his capabili- ties and believe he can establish a name for himself that will be as illustrious as that of many farm boys who have preceded him. The result in a large per- centage Of cases is that he seeks out a bare existence at some small clerkship from which he can not or never does rise above.
 Of course this is not true in all cases. Men who have been most successful in business careers spent their boyhood days on the farm. But a great many farm. bred boys would have been better off and farss more content ed in life had they been satisfied to be "A big toad in a small pond, rather than small toad in a big pond.'
 Agriculture is the foundation of our national prosperity. To safe- guard that prosperity some financial inducement must be of- fered the farm bred boy to fol- low his fathers occupation. The North Atlantic States farmer raises S904 worth of products from farms averaging 96 acres each. The South Atlantic States farmer raises S484 worth of produce on farms averaging 1OS acres each. The farmers of the North Central States raise S1O74 worth of products on farms averaging IA acres, while the South Central States farmer raises about $536 worth of pro- ducts on farms averaging 1o5 acres each. These figures are Of the last census year.
 Therefore it is easily seen that the farmer must learn intensive cultivation of the soil and turn from the extravagant methods of the past. There should be a fuller scheme of public educa- ton, but new kind of educa- tion adapted to the real needs of the farming people.
 To improve conditions so that they may attract the large body of Americans who turn from farm life every year, the rural free delivery system must be inn proved and extended; states should adopt a more liberal pol icy of development, and farmers should be educated up to the great advantages which accrue to all members of the household and in fact to the work of the farmer himself by the installa- tion of a telephone.
 In this latter respect it is not amiss to mention the fact that the Western Electric Company, the largest manufactures of tele- phones and telephone supplies in the country, through the wide distribution of their instructive literature, has done much good work in educating the farmer up to the many advantages of this instrument.
 The question of satisfying the farmers needs will continue to demand the attention of all thoughtful men in the country for some time to come. It is safe to say, however, that it will be some years before a solution to the problem will be found.

Little Tuberculosis Amono Jew..

DR.. Maurice Fishberg is authority
for the statement that the number of
deaths from tuberculosis among the
Jews Is one-third that observed among
the non'Jewish population around
them and living in the same urban en-.

this remarkable vitality of the Jews,
and their immunity to sickness in gen.
