Farming as i Profession.

81
We are living in an age which
looks upon farming, properly CON
Quoted, as a science and as a pro
fession not less dignifed than that
of the law or medicine. But this
was not always so. Older men can
easily remember another opinion.
Modern scientific agriculture"
which has it's colleges and its pro-
fessors, has, wrought great changes
in the opinions of mankind and has
finally brought the profession Of
farming up to the standard held by
Thomas Jefferson. In a letter. to
David Williams, dated November.
1903, the second President said:
The same artificial means which
have been used to produce com
petition in learning may be equally
successful in restoring agriculture
to its primary dignity in the eyes Of
men. It is a science of the very
first order. It counts among its
landmarks the most respectable
sciences; such as chemistry, natur-
al philosophy, mechanics, mathe-
MATES generally, natural history,
botany.
In every college and university a
professorship- of agriculture, and
the class Of its students, might be
honored as the first. Young men
choosing their academical educa-
ton with this, as the crown of all
other sciences, fascinated with its
solid charms, and at the same time
when they are to choose an occu-
patton, instead of croWding the 9th
er classes, would return to the
farms of their fathers, their own,
or those of others, and replenish
and inVigorate calling now Ian
gushing. II ~
s This not only shows the foresight
of the statesman, but is a remark
able prophecy OF condition OF at
fairs which we now see. The world
has gone to the other extreme.
John Sharp Williams, in his recent
book on Jefferson, says:
The truth is that it requires very
much more brains and very much
much more information to be a
really successful -to-date farmer
than it does to mako an excellent
lawyer, physician, senator or col
lege professor besides contribut-
ing more to human comfort and
freedom.
More and more men are looking
Ito the small farm, not only for in
dependence, but for the comfort
and for that close connection with
the soil, and with the. growing
things Of the earth that every we'll
ordered mind loves. And where is
there "a more beautiful farming
country on earth than our tree
fringed and lake-dotted Minnesota?
Look around.Ex
