FARM IS OPEN SESAME
TO OPPORTUNITY
Offers Big Chance to Young
Men With Ideas and
Initiative
Initiative

Initiative
In a timely article published re-
Gently, E. T. Meredith, Secretary
Of Agriculture, points out to young
men the opportunities for success
on the farm. He calls attention to
the difference between agriculture
and other industries in its lack of
monotony-the varied problems
which call forth ingenuity and
give chance for the display of
initiative. He sets forth the op-
portunity to make the community
in a measure what the young
farmer with pep and push, coupled
with new ideas, wishes it to be.
He advises as a preliminary to be-
coming a farm owner, an appren
ticeship as farm hand for 8 months
in the year with a course of IL to
IA weeks at an agriculture college
during the slack period. Thus, he
states, man who wants to get
ahead can become a scientific
farmer while he is saving up capi-
tai to become an owner.
The text of the article in part
follows:
Many young men in the various
occupations of the cities find their
minds turning to thoughts of the
outdoor life Of the farm, but they
do not know how to start farming.
1t is the purpose of this article to
point the way to successful ca
reer as a farmer. l assume the
young men in question are looking
about for a job that will give them
use for their muscles, combined
with work for their brains and an
outlet for their initiative-some-
thing that yields a good liviSg and,
most important of all, has pros
poets for the future.
"A mere job is not enough. Even
if the pay is good, there must be
something to satisfy the ambitions
of such man. The man l have in
mind does not want to be wage
Garner all his life. He hopes for
independence in middle age and
the best of opportunities for his
children, and he looks forward to
an old age of comfort and freedom
from financial worry.
Many Chances to Make Good
For men of that type there are
more chances on the farm than
they may realize, and l should like
to tell about a few of them very
briefly.
"We may imagine such a man
putting himself through an ex-
animation something like this:
How much money have your
mot much
What do you know about
farming?'
Very little; but Pm good and
strong, and hard work never
scared me-
What would you like to do for
a living?'
"'I would like to own a farm
somewhere and work it. I'd like to
live in decent style and marry and
bring up a family
1T is peculiar how the idea al
ways crops up that the first step
in farming is to OWN a farm. "A
farm of your own is all right as
goal to look ahead to, but the man
who lacks either the requisite
money or experience will reach the
goal quicker by starting in as a
hired man.
Newark post., 1920-07-21

count for more out on the farm
than he does in a city where great
numbers of them are crowded to-
gether.
"In short, it is strictly up to the
man himself to make good, and if
he does so he will have no reason
to complain of his social status.
The custom in many paris of the
country and among many progress
sive farmers is to take the hired
man into the family, while in in
dustries the worker may never
see his employer and have no
human contact with the man he
works for In the country we still
have in considerable measure the
old-time relatio/ between the en-
ployer and the worker. The Ameri-
can farming regions form the
great reservoirs of traditional
American democracy.
Living Conditions Better Now
and living conditions in the
country are not what they were
generation ago. A lot of our no.
tions about farm drudgery and
hard living and isolation are ideas
carried over from an earlier period
when there were no electric lights,
no bathtubs, no rural free deliv
cry, no good roads to speak of,
and when an automobile on the
farm was as rare as an airplane
today.
"If you want to Judge what the
farmer of today is buying for his
home, read the advertising in any
of the leading farm journals. 1t
would not pay the manufacturers
of automobiles and pianos to carry
advertising in farm papers if they
were not selling goods of that
character to the readers; and
when we find all kinds of luxuries
and high-grade necessities adver-
tised in the rural press it means
that there is market for the
things that make living more
comfortable and easy.
Good roads and the automobile
have worked wonders In removing
the greatest hindrance to progress
in farming sections. The farmer,
as rule, is no longer completely
isolated, but, generally speaking,
is within easy reach of some thriv-
ing, up-to-date market center, and
often within motoring distance of
a great city.
Moreover, the movement to
draw the farmers together in So
clal life and community achieve
ments is just beginning. With the
active help of the Department of
Agriculture and the State agricul-
tural colleges community enter
prises are being promoted so that
the farmers may have their club
houses for recreation and busi-
ness.
The women are coming to-
gether more and more to work for
the social life and to raise the
standard of education and culture.
The little red schoolhouse is
giving way rapidly TO better build
ings that would look we'll in any
city. Such schools serve large
area and give the farmers chill
dren the same educational ad-
vantages as they city children"
