the fund.

No greater opportunity is offered

willing to work than is offered in

who will learn how to do ordinary
farm tasks as they should be done
The boy who trains himself along
these lines has the future in his
hands; and the farm boys of the
South should be turning by the thou
sands to the agricultural high
schools, the winter short courses in
the agricultural colleges, the corn
contests-tO everything, in fact,
which will help to make them really
proficient in either the science or the
practice of agriculture. The farm
boy who will train himself can get
good wages or a good salary in work

accumulate enough to buy land him
