SOCIAL LIFE ON OR FARMS
What is Needed in Country to stop
Rapidly Increasing Exodus 81
Young People to Cities.

A beautiful home is a magnet Whlch
needs only the additional centrlpetal
force of a richer social life to BIND
to the farm the young life when no"
flows in steady current to the cltles.
To the multiplication of such homes
and the development OF such r1cnef
social life, then, the efforts OF all gov
ernmental and educational agencies
may well be directed, says a writer n
the Baltimore American An addl-
tional incentive to such efforts IS
found in the fact that in rural So
ctety alone is real American democ-
racy now to be found. Our cities
have become examples of social STRAIT
ification-a plutocracy on top, the Ia
borer on the bottom; between them,
strata distinguished by the possession
of larger or smaller incomes. Among
the farmers remains the old-fashioned
equality born of individual independ-
ence. There is not the wide differ
ence in pecuniary circumstances that
is seen in the city; and the superior
wealth Of the large landowner is oft
en- more than matched, SO far as So
cial influence is concerned, by the SUI
perior education or intelligence Of his
poorer neighbor All meet in the
Farmers club, as in church or school,
on plane of perfect equality This
is a condition to be especially appre-
ciated by women, who are invariably
more sensitive to social distinctions
than men.
The movements of farmers--now
"Well-to-do" in the country accepta-
ton Of the term-to the cities would
be materially lessened II they and
their wives fully realized the extent
and hatefulness of the social stratificar
ton there to be met. The average in
come of such a farmer is not greater
than that Of the Well-paid city wage
Garner, be the latter mechanic or
clerk. Coming to the city, then, he
and his wife are at once "stratified"
along with the city's hired men" and
their families. From the homes of the
alleged upper classes" they are smll-
ingly and informally, but effectively,
eAGiuueQ. 10 couple accustomed
to go with the best" In the country,
this reverston from democracy to
class distinctions is not a little gall
ing. Really, had they chosen to cul-
tivate more freely the social instinct
ia their country homes. they would
there have found enjoyments which
they seek in vain in the city.
The gospel of the large, full life as
better than the long, full purse; Of a
broadened intellectual vision as bet
ter than acres broadened beyond
need; of social contacts and culture
as among the primary necessities Of
human nature; and of Woman's mis-
sion as primarily one Of ministry to
these needs. quite as much as to the
physical wants of her family-this
gospel it is, the preaching of which
is to uplift the country life Of Amer
lea, make the farm attractive to those
whom 1t now repels, and preserve in
our nation the ideals of American
democracy.

Farmers Educational
n and COOPERATIVE
II | Union of America
Matters # Especial Moment to
] the Progressive AgricuIturist

One little nibble S7ill keep a man
fishing all day.
Second thoughts may be best, but
not second mortgages.
Some people these days believe the
roll Of honor Is the roll of bank bills.
The toWnspeople who burn up the
country roads with their motor cars
may expect to be roasted by the farm
ers.
All the union enemies are not on
the outside. The greatest detrimen-
tails to the organization are often
found on the inside of the union.
Some women who are always ready
to throw fit over the abuse of a
horse or a dog have no compunction
about slamming their own children
around
When man has learned to say the
four little words, Il can't afford it,
firmly and without embarrassment,
the greater part Of his real troubles
are over.
There Is a time for everything;
and the farmer must not only make
hay when the sun shines but he must
spray before the beetle has cut its
cutting teeth.
Men sniff at the dress fashions of
the women but they would grumble
loudly If their wives went about look
ing like frumps among their stylishly
dressed neighbors.
The farmer needs more markets for
his produce. A lower interstate rate
on the different commodities will put
him in touch with other markets en-
abling him to secure better prices for
his produce.
There are some very successful
business projects Of the union in Tex
as. Good management has done this.
How they succeeded in this would be
good reading for the brethren, and
very helpful.
There isn't any law to prevent mo
florists from dragging the roads.
Couldn't splitlog drag be hitched
behind a touring car effectively?
Such sight would look mighty good
to a lot OF farmers.

OF. DAIRY FARMER
Farmers Cooperative creamerIes, If
Built Up, Will Insure Good, Fair
Price for Product.

lBy A. D. WILSON, University Farm, st.
Paul. Minn.l
There were In Minnesota, in 1909,
$50 creameries, producing 90,834,2 62
pounds Of butter; which, at 80 cents
a pound, represented an aggregate
value of s27,250,278.
In 1910, there were about 1,125,o00
cows in the state, producing an aver
age of 142 pounds of butter-fat per
COW, worth 81 cents per pound. The
earnings. of each cow are thus seen
to be s38, or an aggregate, for the
states herd, Of s42,750, 600.
About X per cent. of the creameries
In the state are cooperative. Most of
them are in a thrifty condition. A
great many more such are needed.
Experience shows that the largest
permanent gains to the dairy farmer
come from giving his steady support
to the local creamery. Too many
creamery patrons have been persuaded
to ship their cream, by the offer Of
a slight advance over the price paid
at their own creameries. Most of

ton; having been forced to take a
lower price when their own creamery
closed for lack of support
The salvation Of the dairy farmer
is, in fact, the Farmers Cooperative
Creamery. One should put away all
petty spites and jea1ousies, and stand
by his local creamery. If things are
not properly managed, help to i'm
prove them; but do not be misled by
seemingly higher prices paid else
where. The chances are that when
prices are offered, higher than a we'll
supported local creamery can pay, the
purpose is merely to undermine your
creamery and fore 1t to close for
lack Of support. When this happens,
you are entirely at the mercy of the
central plant to which you are ship
ping; then, it is reasonable to expect,
the prices you will receive for cream
will be made sufficiently low to make
up for the higher price temporarily
paid in order to freeze out the To-
cal creamery By all means, stand by
your creamery, and build it up, if you
want to get, at all times, good, fair
price for your dairy product.
