Farm Conditions.

Of the Shenandoah valley of Virginia, a
region famous for its farms and farm

paper asks: Does Mr.. Ferguson's course

The result of conditions such as are
indicated in this query has been that
the decreasing number Of farmers in

everything that has been done in the
direction of improved agricultural meth

special education of the farmer would
supply the deficiencies of farm life It
is true that such special instruction
has enabled many farmers greatly to
increase the annual production OF their
farms. But the great majority have not
had the financial ability to utilize the
knowledge, and so they have been forced
to continue along In the same old Tut

RURAL CREDITS,
u.-Helping the Farmer in
the Past.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

1t long ago became evident to those
that something needed to be done if the
agricultural interests of the country were
to keep pace with it's other interests
Population has been growing by leaps
and bounds, industries have been expand
ing with unprecedented rapidity, and the
demands for all the things that the far
mer can produce have been increasing in
a sort Of geometric ratio. In the days
of Washington ninety-six out of every
hundred people in the country were en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits; today
only fifty-two out Of hundred are so en-
gagged. Then the producer sold directly
to the consumer and got all of the con-
sumer's dollar when he spent it for food !;
today an extensive and expensive system
Of distribution has been established,
whereby the farmer, according to the ex-
perts, gets only 35 cents out of each dol
lar the consumer spends for his food
The result is that farming, despite all
the word pictures to the contrary, for the
vast majority of farmers, is most UNI
remunerative calling, as well as one re-
quiring very long hours and much hard
work. The farmer must be content with
preachers fill his pulpits, the poorest
teachers are employed in his schools the
poorest roads are the ones he must
travel. He receives less remuneration
for the hours he works than any other
individual in the body polite His chill
dren realize all this better than he does.

increasing numbers as urban living con-
ditions for the average man improve
