esting editorial showing how pro-
gress places a great strain on peo-
pie He tells the following story:
Il know young man who lived
in a city until he had graduated
from an agricultural college. He
worked on farms in vacations, and
he did everything that city man
can do to learn farming practically
as well as theoretically. But he
had not had the advantage the farm
boy possesses of driving team year
after year and listening to the dis
cussion of farm problems about the
hearth In farm home while a
child. He went on a large farm as
tenant Three hundred acres of
farm land to be plowed, put into
crops. tended and harvested.
visited him about the first of July
of his first summer. Things looked
badly. He had made a lot of mis-
takes that an old farmer would
never have made.
81 thought said he when I
talked to him OF the situation, that
l knew a great deal more about
farming than the neighbors about
here. but I'm making up my mind
that l would be hundreds Of dol
lars better off this year II l knew
as much as the 15 year old boys Of
the neighborhood. It'n take me
years to learn the things that are
second nature to them
did he fail? BY no means. He
stuck to the farm. and Is now sue
cessful. He caught up in his knack
of doing things. Gradually he pull
ed ahead of his neighbors. After a
while the art Of doing things began
to cooperate with the scientific
truths he had mastered, and money
began to come into his till. and rec
ognition from his neighbors as the
best farmer Of them all was no
small part of his reward.
Now suppose that one of those
old farmers had been his father and
the owner of the farm. The strain
OF progress would have been still
more severe. My young friend had
the right to make his mistakes and
suffer by them. but Dad might have
refused him that freedom.
The man with son who is q
college graduate should let the
young man put his ideas into ef-
feet, even though it seems to him
/ that the new methods are not 30
good as the old. Thus he will re-
lieve the strain Of progress. 1t is
| for the old to give way to the young
