loss of rural leaders by emigration to
the city has been one of the most
serious retrogressive factors In our
whole civilization. The Farmers Co
operative demonstration work has
solved the problem. These young
men left the farm because they were
repealed by the hardships, excessive
toll. and meager gains on the farm
and were allured by seemingly
greater opportunity to acquire wealth.
influence and position in the city The
demonstration work undertakes to
create in the schoolboy love of the
farm and new hope by showing the
wonderful possibilities of the soil
when properly managed and the ease
with which wealth and distinction are
achieved in rural life when science
and art join hands. This is worked
cut by the cooperation of the demon

the teachers.
