mine years ago my farm wa:
worth S195 an acre; today, I'd have I
hand matter to sell it at $165 an acre
II is "too far from a live town.
so every farmer has said that wants
to buy. He wants place neal
schools and churches, where his chill.
dren can have advantages. | have
awakened to the fact that in helping
to pull the town down, it has cost me
$500 in nine years. Like the ma
iority of farmers, l didn't figure far
enough ahead.
This sort of business means the
doing away with country towns.
What will it mean to FARMERS who
have only few large cities at dis
lance of 500 or 1000 miles? What
are We going to do with our children,
, VINO are uClldHulHS 6NCIl DSlICI du-
vantages than we had?
Those cities we help build return
no favorG; they take our money but
offer no such credit in time of need.
If we want high schools, etc, we
must raise the money and build near
our fGrrl homes or send our boys
and girls to the cities at great ex-
pense, amidst temptations of which
the farm has no equal. Neither am
l the only awakening farmer. These
mail order agents that come to our
homes every week are becoming
nuisance and making it unsafe to
leave women and children alone on
the farm. With farm cordiality we
take these strangers into our homes,
often as one of the family, and we
are sometimes paid in having them
enticc our girls to the city.
These are some Of the facts that |
need confederation, and l have de-
cided that the safest proposition all /
around. is for country people to look
after their own interests, and build
up their own country towns that
bring value to their farms. Let
hose who want to patronize the city
nail order house go there to live, get
ing their living where they give their
patronage. The remainder of my life
ill be given to building up the home
own that l helped to pull down.
Brother farmers, you can take my ad-
ice CT get your knowledge the way
