Only few days of burning heat
| and drouth are necessary to show US
mortals how utterly dependant and
helpless we are. When the grow ing
products of field and farm and orchard
begin to wither and fall, all classes
and conditions of men are made to re-
alize that, but for the sweet and boun-
tiful rains of heaven, the predicamenJ
of boastful men would indeed be pitt
full and despairing. And when we re-
alize how incalculable is the amount
of rainfall necessary to relieve Or pre-
vent an all consuming-sll destroying
drouth, we wonder at the wisdom ana
power and muniffcence of the great
and merciful God in making such am
pie provisions. After weeks of fearful
heat and drouth, gracious and refresh
ing rains have fallen in most parts Oh
the country, the consuming fire has
gone out of the atmosphere, and with
ering creation seems to lift up its
hands in thankful recognition of the
glorious change. And shall not our
heart and scal join in anfeigned graft
tade and thanksgiving to God?

The heavy drift of population to
crowded urban centers is one of the
chief problems that now concern stu
dents of our economic and social vel
fare. When the consumption Of food
begins to exceed the supply, as is the
case in this country today, there is
keen cause for apprehension; and so
the farm is the center of one of our
greatest problems. The essential
thing is not that so many people are
herding in the >cities, but that the
source of production is being neglect
ed.
A remedy often urged is return to
the soil; and in the course of several
generations this may be found practi-
cable and eficacious. But, for the
present, it appears rather Intellectual.
It is seldom that the man or family
established in city can tear away
from the deep roots of circumstances
and habit and be gin life all over again
on a farm. But it is as feasible as de-
sirable that those who are already in
the country shall remain thele. And
it is to these that the present must
look.
The one great antidote against the
uuwholesome trend of population city.
ward is the creation of more comely
and satisfying home life on the farm.
Whenever the boys and girls realize
in their very hearts that more happl-
ness and health and opportunities are
to be fourd in the country than in
town, they will lose the wanderlust
that has beckoned them in the past.
And how manifold today are the
means by which farm life ca be made
humanely attractive! The telephone
and the free delivery of mail places
the farm in the main circuit of the
worlds thought. Science and inven-
ton have lightened the burdens of
its households. Good roads have link
ed it to urban centers. Modern ap-
pliences have converted the drudgery
of its fields into pursuit that is truly
intellectual, while modern methods of
agriculture are yearly increasing the
quality and the abundance Of it's har-
vests.
The most direct and practical way
to keep the people on the farm is to
encourage aud extend all these emeni-
ties, to carry education into every
rural district and to bear comforts and
beauty into every rural home.
