 It is one of the most alarming symptoms of recent social evolution that the people are ceasing to inhabit the country"
 This is simply the statement in rath- CT big words, by an economist of high reputation of the old complaint that country people are abandoning the farms and fiocking to the cities when ever they get the chance.
 You'll note that he calls it ''one of the most alarming symptoms" of the times.
 Which is exactly what it is.
 It is "alarming;" for it means an unbalancing of the countrys ratio be- tween production and consumption; a turning of the pyramid over from its base and trying to make 1t stand on it's apex; a reversal of natural law; a defiance of immutably fixed condi- tions
 It means that personal, individual selfish ease and temporary indulgence have come to mean more than abiding health and stored-up energy and an insured future welfare.
 It means that show is counted high CT than reality: that momentary en- joyment is valued more than lasting comfort; that sham is worshipped in- stead of Substance.
 It means that thousands and tens of thousands have lost their ability to look ahead, and have so far de- generated as to put present pleasure above the futures demands,-which is one of our symptoms which dis tinguish the animal from the human

If. it re- news in any great number their sense of the value of discipline as opposed to self -centered self f-indulgenee:-if it teaches any great number the neces- sity of team work in place of every mani for himself scrambling g:-if, above all, it imposes and enforces upon any great number the lesson of foresight and forehandedness, the truth that present and selfish ease is never worth the price of future and general loss,- then even an onslaught of mediaeval barbarism on the breastworks of civil lization may have in it's outcome some thing to be thankful for.

It is not farmers speciality, by any means. It is not confined to them. Nor is it even as prevalent among them as among some others.
 The very fact that a man becomes and remains a farmer, in these days, is strong testimony that he isn't a weakling, either physically or moral ly. It is, at least, prirla facie evil dence that he puts substance above sham, and prefers virile duty doing to fiabby duty shirking.
