BIRTH REGISTRATION

The following is an example OF
the value and necessity of birth
registration, as occurring in Indiana
A farmer in Indiana left his val.
liable farm in trust to his unthrifty
son, to go to his granddaughter OH
her twentN-first birthday. When
she believed she was 21 and claim
cd her inheritance. her father dis
puted her age, saying she was only
10. The family bible was consult
ed, but the leaf with the record
was gone. The court was in q
quandary. At last neighbor re.
membered that a valuable COW be-
longing to the grandfather had
given birth to calf on the day
the girl was born, and he could
swear to the coincidence; perhaps
the grandfather had recorded tht
date of the birth of the calf. His
farm books showed that he had
done so, and the date of birth OF
the girl was thus established. This
story has a cheerful ending; in toe
many instances hardship and loss
have been suffered because of z
similar lack Of indisputable birth
records. May C. Mcdonald, N. D

4 COLORADO BOYS
IDEA OF THE FARM

The problem of keeping the boy
on the farm and combating the

few years. 1t is really very SER
dies have been suggested as a
means to interesting our boys In
farming as an attractive business
for them. Most of the remedies
suggested have been based on the
parents view of the problem anS
the boys themselves have rarely
been interrogated as to their ideas.
The psychology of farm boys
mind should really prove most
helpful in meeting the problem il
we only knew how to go about the
matter Of correctly ascertaining
just what he considers are induce

Along this line of thought we
are, interested in noting summary
of ideas from C.. w. Knight, boy
