questions will be taken up in their
order and demonstrated on the
farm. The thing that we should
deem Of the most Importance is the
encouraging Of our boys to stay on
the farm, 1t is well known, and sor-
rowfully so, that for the past few
decades it has been the tendency of
the young people to drift to public
works. "rhere is n reason and the
reason is farm work was and is q
drudgery to the majority of farmers,
According to the law of nature like

make our work a delight and q

plished by scientific agriculture only,
We hear the cry Of the high price
Of living, What is the cause' This
question has been asked time and
time again, and there has been in
vestigation after investigation made
in search of the cause, and It Is
found that one of the main factors is
poor management Of the farm, So
many of the farmers, who should be
independent, do not make their own
meat and bread, The South pays
out millions Of dollars every year for
such commodities rs could he pro.

TO educate its farmers, and this is
