QUESTION OF KEEP n c.
YOUNG GEN { RA T|ON ON
FARM RAP IDLY BEL \ c.
SOLVED BY "A RIM { RS

The question of "How you gonna
keep 'em down on the farm" is one
that has agitated the minds OF many
agriculturists in the past, and is still
q subject OF considerable thought on
the part of men who are interested
in tilling the soil, and raising cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep and mules for the
marksts
That question is being gradually
rs1ved in all sections of the country
- present, by the application of
Scientific principles in all branches
of farming, and making country life
more attractive to young men who
heretofore were wont to forsake the
home place and seek employment in
the cities
young man who has been reared
on the farm is not likely to give up
his vocation If it is made profitable
and attractive to him and realizing
this fact, the father Of a large fam
lily Of young farmers is devoting
more thought 10 their welfare and
pleasure than was given them in the
past with the result that it is ex-
tremely hard to induce boy who
has been reared under such environ
ments 10 forsake the farm for the
bright lights of the city, and seek
uncertain employment under the white
lights. Willie's calf and colt are no

so that the farmer is practically liv-
ing suburban life. whereas in the old
days, nothing but drudgery was the
portion of all who lived in the rural
districts, and farm life was looked
upon as a sort of self imposed slav-
cry.
Old Order Passing Away.
The old order is rapidly passing
away. and in no place is it more no
ticcab'e than in Carter county. farm
ers are paying more attention TO the
best crop they produce, namely their
boys and girls. and the day is rapidly
coming when a farmer boy seeking
job in the city will be a rarity.

GOOD JUDGMENT

| In these days of continual agi-
tation against big interests and
charges of the money kings rul-
ing the country and stealing
from the common herd it's good
to hear from the other side and
an article which is printed be-
low from the pen of John D..
Renshler in The Spice Box"
very nicely covers the ground,
1t follows:
Much can be learned by COM
pairing a backward country, like
China. with forward country,
like America. The natural re-
sources Of China are as great, if
not greater, than those of Ameri-
ca. Numerically. the manpower
of China is greater. But as far
as physical development is con-
cerned, China is a century be-
hind America.
Why is this? What is the force
that is lacking in China and pres
ent in America?
The answer. as we see it, is
that China has produced no Rock
efellers. no Hills. no Carnegies,
no Fultons. no Harrimans, no Edi-
sons, no Schwabs in other words,
no leaders of industry.
China is practically without
railroads, steamboats,, good roads,
farm machinery, or any of the
modern devices for multiplying
the power of man. China has
muscle-power. but apparently
she has no generals. She has the
raw materials, but she has no
men to direct their fabrication
into finished products.
What would any of the men
we have named above be worth
to China? Would they be worth
a million each, ten million each?
There is just one answer to this
question: These men of fore.
sight and daring are SO rare that
their value cannot be estimated

mer of this country derives more

| A great inventor, a great dis,
coverer, a great organizer, a great
developer may put money into
his pockets in the process oil
pushing the world forward, but
this is not money that he has

1t is wealth which he has ere

| A Rockefeller in China might
