WHAT THE FARMERS son FOUND
WHEN HE WENT BACK HOME

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside H. j. Minhinnick tells how,
when he was a boy, there were in his
class in high-school six sons and seven
daughters of farmers living in the dis
trict which comprised the townships
Or the six boys two became doctors,
two lawyers, one minister and the 9TH
er died while attending the UNIVERSITY.
Of the girls five became teachers, one
q nurse and the seventh married !.
merchant In other words not one OF
the thirteen returned to the farm TWO
years ago he visited his old home for
the first time in twenty-five years and
found that Of the twelve farms 1.-TWO
of the pupils were brother and sister,
not a single one remained in the fam
lily that held it thirty years ago The
writer goes on as follows:
Now comes the more Interesting
side of the story On the twelve farms,
which totaled about 1900 acres, there
are now living fifty-one families, If
which forty-two had moved from the
towns and cities, but nine families had
2 direct farmer ancestory. OF these
nine, eight had bought their lands, and
only one had acquired its farm by in
heritance
"On the visit referred to the writer
/ had to rub his eyes and pinch himself
to make sure he was awake. He was
driven out in an automobile over roads
so beautifully macademized and kept
that they compared favcrably with the
best city pavements. The fences were
of wire, and all along them wers
planted beautiful maple and walnut
trees. The cultivation came right up
to the fences, and the roadsides were
clean as the fields. Every inch of
land was in the highest possible state
of cultivation, and there were not ten
fields of hay or grain visible in a
thirty-mile drive. The houses were
simply beautiful, nearly all of stone CT
brick, and their very appearance
showed that they were lived in. The
barns were moved away far enough

, they were nice and handy to the house

WHAT 1000 NEW CITIZENS WOULD MEAN TO
THE BUSINESS OF AMERICUS EACH YEAR

The United States census repor s
give some interesting figures of what
people spend each year in their per-
sonal dealings with each other.
For instance, the hat trade of city
is figured out conservatively as repre-
senting an interchange of dollars that
will average $3.50 per head. The fig
ures show that in the butcher trade
there will be an interchange of $52.44
per year for every new citizen added
to the population, and in the same way
figures are arrived at for the building
trade commerce, imports and exports,
electric light and power, gas, express,
etc, with the result that it is announ"-
ed that for every 1900 new pOpula-
IatiOn added to Americas there will
be put in circulation during the year
an increase in business of the city of
$1,346,246.00. Do you get that? Do
you see just what increase population
means to the total business of city?
