Two high school graduates stood on
the street talking of the lines Of study
they were thinking of taking up at col
lege.
II believe that shall take . course
In agriculture" said one.
II am debating with myself whether
to take up mechanical or electrical en-
cheering" the other remarked.
The writer, 4 bystander. pretending
to be interested in the whistle of a
peanut rooster on the opposite side
Of the street, listened to the converse
ton of the two young men. The re-
agricultural work at college caught
our attention and held it; we became
quite anxious to hear him express his
views ON the opportunities he saw in
store for the man with a scientific ag-
ricultural education.
A few years ago it would have seem
ed quite strange to hear high school
graduate talking of taking up a course
in agriculture; but the possibilities in
that line today for the man with
brains are, in many ways, so much
greater and the work so much more
enjoyable than in most any other
field of effort, that is commanding the
attention of many.
What do you expect to do after you
complete your agricultural course?"
asked the undecided one.

ply, II believe there is a field open

that is, for men who are in a position

led. The tendency of today is along
the lines of cooperation; you cannot
pick up a farm paper that does not
have something to say about how farm
corporations are springing into exist
ence all over the country.
These corporations must have man.
ayers, and there is q very limited field
from which to draw them. The employ
ment bureau at Purdue announces that
it is unable to fill the calls for men to
fill positions requiring scientific agri-
cultural training.
1.-The agricultural work is just as dig
nified as law, or medicine, or mechani-
cal or electrical engineering, or any
other work; it is no harder than 9th
er kinds of work, yet it requires just
as great knowledge of business as
any of them, and it is the most health
full occupation that one can follow"
1t sounded good to hear young
man just out Of high school talking SO
sensibly. 1t showed that he was wide
awake to the possibilities on the farm
for the young man of intelligence; it
