while Toups for the locals only al

one of the fastest teams i'll South

Why Boys Leave the Farm

In the current issue oil farHH
and Fircside an Ohio contrl-
butor makes the following Ill
teresting explanation OF why
SO many boys leave the farm;
LET me try to show that the
fathers are to blame for keep
ing in the rut that runs back
TO the days when all work was
done by hand.
"The trees were chopped
and cleared by hand and the
land prepared for seeding with
the old-fashioncd crude tools,
the crops planted, cultivated
and harvested in the same way
"Thesc ancestral farmers
were compelled to work fifteen
hours or more each day while
doing this pioneering, and the
same hfteen-houEa-day grind
has been handed down from
generation to generation ever
since.
"This plan of doing two
DAYS work in one will 10
longer be tolerated by farm
BOYS when they come to know
that the mason, the carpenter
the plumber and shopmen
work but little more than half
of the farm day.
$50 too, are the mothers &c
blame. Their sons must be-
come teachers, clerks, sales
men, or office men-jobs that
will allow white hands, fine
clothes, and a spruce, citihec
appearance. Also the girls are
too often advised by thell
mothers to marry city fellows
Don't do it any more
mothersl If you could follow
your boy for a month after h'
reaches the city you would
shed tears of regret the res
of your life.
Nov tell the truth, Mr.
Farmer. Are you giving
the boy the opportunity yo1
might? Remember this is tn
twentieth century, not tn
eighteenth. Couldn'tyou max
life a little more pleasant?
"Have a little more sociabi
lily, give your sons a share
let them do some of the bust
ness. | know a farmer VIII
never would let his boys worI
the team. They used the hoes
There were four of them, an
they all left home before the
were eighteen. Make the boy
confdents, ask their advice
Make farming interesting, dig

No one is obliged to live
