IL Is. however. quite within its power

Whether the constant draining away
OF so much Of the best elements in the
rural population into the towns is due
chiefly To- this cause or TO the superior
business opportunities OF city life may
be open to question. But no one a
all familiar with farm life throughout
the United States can fail to recognize
the necessity FOR building up the life
of the farm upon its social as well as
upon its productive side
1t is true that country life has I'm

and comfort and that the farmers
