THE DIFFERENCE IN READING
AND NON-READNG FARMRRS.


Editor Ora L. Jones of the Sylvan
Valley News of Brevard has been tour
ing Pennsylvania county for sub
scriptions and business in general for
his paper and in the following editori-
all he strikingly impresses one Of the
difference between the backward farm
er who will not read and become ae-
quainted with more progressive meth
DDS. and the farmer who reads and
uses his head as swell as his muscle:
The other day the writer stood on
a foot log and looked out over two
feIds-a small creek being the diyid-
ing line between two mems farms.
The two fields were planted in corn
and at the time of which we speak the
| crops were receiving their second
working. In the field TO our left we
saw a man, two mules and a plow:
! while to our right we saw a man. a
woman (his wife, two boys (sons)
and a girl Ca daughterl. one horse. a
pillow and two hounds.
The man to our left, strange as 1t
may seem, was making much better
progress with his work than his neigh
Dor with the assistance of his entire
family, hounds included; and although
we were told that the two fields had
been planted at the same time the
corn to our left was fully a foot high
er thar that across the creek.
AS we looked out oVer the w o fields
we began to wonder why one crop was
better than the other. Surely he
two farms were made up of the same
kind of soil? Why the difference?
We began to study the two men, work
ing so neal by. The one On u left
seemed to be having a good time driv-
ing his two well-kept mules to a rid
ing plow, not even getting down to
turn around at the end of the row.
while the other seemed ear or
trudging along through the ploWed
ground behind his hungry-looking
horse, making two or three trips to
the row..
Nor was this all we noticed. Our
friend to the left had his pillow ad-
justed so accurately that by making
one trip to the row all the weeds were
torn up, the dirt loosened to a depth
of several inches and then thrown up
around the corn with such a nicetv
that it beat the best corn hoer in the
county. The man to the right had his
entire family in the field hoeing his
corn, and as we watched them digging
away so patiently we could not help
but wonder why they could do it so
contentedly with such a striking OBJ
ject lesson before them. And how can
a man afford to work his wife in the
field when for a small outlay of cash
he can buy a pillow that will relieve
her of such work."
In approaching the man on the right
on the subject of subscribing for his
county paper we got another Insight
into this character. He declined to
subscribe, giving as his reason the
very apparent fact that he did not
read much, but suggested that we
might get some business just across
The creek, as his neighbor was the
'beatenest fellow for readin' and buy
ing new-fangled tools and sech l ever
OF course his neighbor was al
a subscriber to the News, but we

EXCHANGE VISITS BETWEEN
CITY AND COUNTRY PEOPLE
(statesville Landmark

The wife of a farmer, writing to
The Landmark recently, remarked that
the time for the summer visitor is at
hand but that the farm women have
little opportunity for rest and change
of scene and surroundings; and it was
suggested that when town women
plan to go TO the country for a good
time it might occur to them that the
country woman would enjoy a visit in
town during the leisure months of
winter, as an exchange of hospitality
and an opportunity to enjoy some of
the pleasures of town life.
The point is we'll taken and The
Landmark is directing attention to it.
Town folks like to visit in the country,
especially in summer; many of them
seek the opportunity to make such
visits, and they are cordially received
and handsomely entertained. The
visits usually mean more work for the
farm women; but if the extra work in
entertaining visitors is given a thought
It would be forgotten if there was rec
procity. To many of the farm women
an opportunity to spend a few days in
and enjoy some of the pleasures
of town life would be a are treat;
would be enjoyed as much as the town
jewellers enjoy visits to the country.
Why not cultivate the exchange basis,
not from sordid motives bat for the
pleasure each would give the other?
A better acquaintance, a better idea
of the life in town and country and a
better understanding of each other,
be a material part of the value
of such exchange visits.
