THE FARM BOY WHO CAN DREAM

II is a good thing for the farmer boy
TO have an imagination. II is a good
thing for him to dream dreams and
see visions 1t takes the dreamer to
see the transformation that intelli.
gent effort will bring to pass on the
old place. II takes the dreamer TO
see how much more desirable that
place will be in ten years than a Job
In a dry goods store. II is the boy
who dreams who sees a field OF thrifty
alfalfa where that stunted yellow
corn Is growing on the timber forty.
II is the boy who dreams who sees
those hungry looking cows with burs
in their tails replaced by a herd OF
dairy rnatrons that tax the capacity
Of the milk can at their milking. II
is the boy who dreams who sees
waving corn field where the cattails
are growing, who sees a woven wire
fence in place Of the old hedge and
a new barn where the COW shed is
falling to pieces. We need more
dreamers on the farm. - Prairie
Farmer.
II certainly would take some kind
Of dreamer to see all those things
mentioned by the esteemed Prairie
Farmer. BY experience and observa-
ton we are convinced that dreamers
have no place on the farm. True a
broader vision of the possibilities OF
the farm is needed to get out Of the
old ruts and into the new scientific,
diversified and intensified methods,
but the fact should not be lost sight
OF that hard work and good judgment
are to be relied upon in making the
change, and not upon INDUCING in
day dreams and castle building. The
farm is stern reality and must be
treated as such.
