SELDOM THE CITY BORN.
Analysis Of the CInsses of Men WhU
Go Back to the Fnrm.

The government asked about 5000 crop
correspondents some time ago to find out
the history OF tho city folks who went
back to the farm. Here are the main
classes
1. Small trndcsmen who gave UP n
hopeless struggle in an overdone retail
bur!ness and seek In the country small
farm where the cost Of living is cheaper
and where a more Independent existence
can be maintained.
2. Merchants who failed in business and
who seek the farm to escape the mis-
chances of employment.
g. Mechanics, school teachers, tailors.
clerks and sawmill men who seek agri-
culture as preferable to uncertain business
and employment.
1t Is infrequent for q city-born man
to become a farmer. Usually the men
who give up city occupations to return
to the farm lived on farms in boyhood.
A large part Of those who return are
farmers sons who have been lured from
the farm by the false promise Of high
wages but who subsequently learn that
the cost of living in the city Is high and
that the money rate Of wages In the city
Is deceptive. These young men often re-
turn when they find they have made no
Roadway in the city. Retired farmers,
| also, who moved to town with the expec-
tation of spending the rest Of their lives
! there have in many cases found town
life short of their expectations and have
| returned to farms.
/ Lastly, there are the agricultural colo
MES made up to large extent of foreign
crS who had formerly been farmers in
their native country and who welcome
opportunity to colonze on farms. Farm
