CREATE LOVE FOR THE FARM
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work Has Solved Problem OF
Agricultural Life.

(By s. A. knapp
One OF the greatest problems before
the American people has been how to
interest In rural life and attach to
the farm the young man who has ac-
CURED capacity for leadership. The
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repealed by the hardships.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 we're allured by seemingly
greater opportunity to acquire wealth,

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
out by the cooperation of the demon
stration workers, the county super
intendent of public instruction. and
the teachers.
The superintendent and teachers
organize the schoolboys over ten years
OF age into clubs; the demonstration
work furnishes the plan of organiza-

The boy learns the best way to raise
corn or cotton and his appreciation
Of the farm Is greatly enhanced.
