WALL STREET PLEASED.
Note Regarded As Ending Uncer-

Wall Street strongly approved Of the
note to Germany. The stock market was
more than steady. II showed underlying
strength, with some OF the war stocks
making new high records. which Stock
Exchange men said was based on the
general satisfaction felt over the tone
and substance Of the note. The note
was regarded by leading bankers as
having cleared the atmosphere and stated
the position of this country In unmis-
taxable terms.
Much relief was expressed over the
fact that the element Of uncertainty over
the attitude of the Administration II. the
negotiations. which WAS present as long
as Mr.. Bryan remained in the Cabinet
had now been eliminated. Although
bankers would not talk for publication
they spoke in the highest terms ~ praise
Of the President and the admirable posi-
ton in which the latest note has put the
country before the world. The attitude
of the leading bankers of Wall Street
yesterday about serious consequences
that might result from the note In any
break with Germany was one of conf
dence and belief IN the Country's willing
ness to face any issue.

A wall plastered W. tn public sale bills
in one Of the county's large mills
that Of Thomas J. Hill at the foot OF
Washington St in this city-are mute
evidence of the fact that in the past
several months the farmer has begun
a quiet but nevertheless steady, eX-
odus from the farm
r. l. Grain, L. w. Savidge. Thomas
Gusta, Leonard Smythe. Orville Young
and Thomas Warren are all st. JOS
eph county farmers. These men have
decided that they were ready 10 give
up their farms for other pursuits They
are not the only ones Who have siSni-
fed such intention, but they are the
ones who have made the move the
mOst recently.
Mr.. Hill himself can assign no
specific reason for the move.
The movement is there" he said
with a gesture toward the bill-plast-
cred wall why farmers OF this
county fail TO make money on their
farms L cannot see. Health conditions
are probably the primary cause
County Agent J. :. Bordner and
other experts have discussed the mat
ter more freely. however.
Health, discouragement, lack OF
business ability. lack OF social and
educational advantages, lack OF suf-
ficient working capital lack of rural
credit. extravaganza and carelessness.
and lack of a thorough understanding
as 10 what is actually accomplished
10y the farmers living on the farm are
the eight primary causes advanced by
men of experience in agriculture and
farm conditions from a national view
point.
In Indiana the movement has been
more marked than in any other state,
and consequently has been the object
OF more consideration and discussion
than in any other locality. However,
il was not until the general depression
in agricultural enthusiasm struck
nome. that is. through the farmers Of
~. Joseph county, that local author
tiles and experts endeavored 10 as

SEEK CAUSE FOR EXODUS
FROM FARMS IN ST. JOSEPH COUNTY

etc. Many are the farmers who are
accused OF ignorance in the funda-
mentals in plant life. how they live
and what steps should be taken in
their proper care.
How animals live, what constitutes
their care, how TO acquire fertile soils
and other seemingly smaller details,
when neglected in the education OF
the young farmer. are fatal when that
young man becomes the master OF his
fathers acres, the care and upkeep
of which have been deep mystery
10 him.
Indiana farming is a thoroughly
complicated subject Each mans ideas
are likely to be simple enough, but
when one set idea looms largest IN
his mind, he is apt TO let other de-
tails escape him while perfecting his
pet scheme. Eventually his scheme IS
perfected, and is perhaps one that IS
adopted generally by his neighbors.
But in its invention. he has so TAR
neglected his farm that its needs nd
requirements have gotten beyond his
means.
To offset this condition he holds
public sale of farm machinery and
other articles he considers not essential
10 It's upkeep. His sale is held az
time OF year compatible with the rld-
dance OF the machinery and tools sold,
and the funds thus procured are used
10 remedy the condition of his land
But meanwhile. when the time OF
year approaches when the tools he
has sold are needed, he has not -he
cash 10 buy new ones. Perhaps he
borrOWs Perhaps his note for a sum
is accepted by a neighbor. When il
falls due he has not the cash with
which TO pay il.
Thus debt piles up and his farm
suffers. At asst he IS compelled To
sell his land TO pay his Indebtedness.
IL is these things that have osused
experts To give a. one cause FOR the
exodus al present under way the fact
that "extravagance and carelessness in
the managem ent Of a farm often re-
suits IN bankruptcy" And wheL a
South Bend news-times., 1915-03-07

farmer, be he young or old, lneXperi-
enced or sophisticated, reaches that
stage. according to these authorities
he IS d failure both as a farmer and
as an agricultural business man.
Another Of the major reasons ad-
Yanced by the expert IS the fact that
i'm the rural districts there Is a dearth
of social and educational advantages
1t is true that the farm er's chill
dren have public school facilities. Dis
trict schools are scattered all over the
United States in which the child of
the rural districts is educated in the
same branches that are parts OF the
school systems in the cities. Yet the
rawness of country life is never quite
dispelled until the child Of the farm
has had the experience Of years IN
college or boarding school
The rough and uncOuth life OF the
farm is not a suitable preparation for
a social life. il is held Refinement
and the culture required for mingliue
with a city's social set are not cleaned
by the young man or woman unless
they have had the expensive training
10 be furnished only through a term
i'm college or high school.
And this is the expense which the
older farmer sometimes begrudges.
Not because he does not want his
children 10 have every advantage pos
sible. but because he feels that 1t all
is so unnecessary. He is perhaps of
the old school. and VIII not permit his
children 10 make friends in the city.
II is these children. when they have
become young men and young women
who leave the farm for the active and
eventful-to them-life OF the city
Ii is held by statisticians and eX-
perts who have completed exhaustive
investigat' 1ns in the matter that there
is too much land in Indiana capital
lied at 800 and $500 an acre which
paws interest on only $50 an acre.
Lack of business ability and good
Judgment has caused farmers 20 as

rannot meet. This condition Of affairs
